Food

Oakland

There are many good food options in Oakland. A very incomplete list includes:

The Porch. Upscale dining option with a varied menu, right next to the Cathedral of Learning.

Butterjoint. A popular upscale dining option just outside of the University bubble.

Mount Everest Sushi. Excellent place for Poke bowls and sushi donuts.

Primanti's. A Pittsburgh staple, famous for fries contained within a sandwich rather than on the side.

BAO (CMU). Dumplings and other Taiwanese food. Conveniently located on Craig Street with lots of nice restaurants.

Roots Natural Kitchen. Customizable bowls with vegan and gluten-free options.

Downtown

These food options may primarily be of interest to out of town guests who attend the SIAM PDEs Conference before the workshop.

Barcelona. Tapas.

Con Alma. Jazz bar featuring Latin American cuisine.

Gaucho Parilla Argentina. Argentinian steakhouse.

South Side and surrounding

Altius. Fine dining with a view from Mount Washington of the three rivers merging in downtown Pittsburgh.

Carmella's Plates & Pints. Elevated American Food.

Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings. Soup dumplings (and other food).

North Side

EYV Hospitality. Short for 'Eat Your Veggies', located in the Northside.

Burgatory. Local burger chain, noteable for its flexible and varied 'make your own burger' options.

East End

Mercurio's. Pizza & Gelato.

Church Brew Works. Located in a repurposed church, this brewery/restaurant has a unique atmosphere. It is included on the list primarily for the ambience, but food and drink is good.

Apteka. Vegan Polish food.

Teppanyaki Kyoto. Japanese restaurant.

Everyday Noodle. Chinese noodles and dumplings made fresh.

Thai Cuisine. Also Thai Terrace and Thai Cottage are great, but slightly less easily accessible from Oakland.

Hemlock House. Elevated American Food.

For the so inclined, Pittsburgh also proudly features over 40 craft breweries and a cider house in easy driving or ubering distance from the conference.

Pittsburgh airport

Penn brewery and Wigle are reasonably priced local options, most convenient when flying United or Southwest. For food, Penn is recommended over Wigle.
