Aaron & Ari's, Pittsburgh, PA.

by hopita on March 27, 2010

Pittsburgh, currently home to two and a half Kosher restaurants, will soon be down to one and a half.

Aaron & Ari’s, the city’s only Kosher meat restaurant, will be closing two days after Passover ends.

Would anyone like to open up another Kosher restaurant in this city? Because as much as I love Milky Way, taking my observant friends there for three meals a day gets old right quick.

Aaron & Ari's – Pittsburgh, PA

by aaron on February 25, 2010

There aren’t that many Kosher places to eat in my home town, Pittsburgh. The “fancy” sit down place (Pinati’s) closed down last year and that left two places that are more “fast food” types of places (well, two and a half if you count the Dunkin’ Donuts).

Aaron & Ari’s is one of the two places that are left. Since they had a flood last summer they redid the décor of the place, and that is for the better. The menu is pretty extensive with most of the Chinese dishes having a beef, chicken or just vegetables. They also have egg rolls with vegetables or pastrami. There is no waiter service so you place the order at the front and then wait for the food.

I ordered the General Tso’s chicken and they asked me how spicy I wanted it. I asked for it to be very spicy and they delivered in spades. The vegetables were tasty and crispy and the sauce was quite good, although there was a bit more than there should have been. Having said that, they put a lot into a serving.

Over all it’s a good place and not too expensive. A steady place to eat while you are in Pittsburgh.

One of the few entertainment sites that are in my RSS reader is the Live Feed. They have more of the business news for television and me being a geek, I like that sort of stuff. At any rate they had an interesting post a few weeks ago and it spurred an idea of mine. [...]

Boston

March 22, 2009

Last week I had a business trip up to Boston. It’s one of the easier cities to stay in if you’re looking for Kosher food and places for prayers. Especially if you are not required to stay in downtown Boston since there is plenty of good places to eat in a little town outside of [...]

Knowing the way to San Jose

March 16, 2009

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m going to be in San Jose in a few weeks. The quarterly business review that I talked about is taking place on a Friday. That means that I’ll be having to spend Shabbos in San Jose. Normally this wouldn’t be much of a problem but this is [...]
