The G-20 Has Landed

Happy G-20 week! Come try some of our fabulous local products and introduce yourself to a taste of the Steel City. Our organic grass-fed frank, soda from the Natrona Bottling Company, and pierogies are a great place to start.

We’re open from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. 10:00 am to 3:00 pm tomorrow. Visitors most definitely welcome!

The Winds of Change Have Blown Me Out of Pittsburgh

But don’t worry, Franktuary is still located in the heart of downtown on Oliver Avenue. We’ve got some exciting plans on the horizon, and part of that bigger picture necessitates creating space for someone who can do my old job better than me. What I mean by that is Franktuary now has on its staff not one but two individuals with culinary degrees! With this change, and for a handful of personal reasons, I find myself looking for employment back home in the New York area. So, as you might imagine, more details will spring forth from this very space… over time. These titillating tidbits, about changes coming to Franktuary as well as the eventual success of my job search, may alter the very fabric of your life. If that doesn’t occur,...

If pierogies were popular anywhere in the United States other than Pittsburgh I think it would be just splendid to open a stand in New York’s South Street Seaport and call it “Pier 17 Pierogies.” I also think it would be mighty fine if Pier 1 Imports sold pierogies in all their stores, somewhere near the checkout. But, alas, pierogies appear not to be very marketable outside of the Steel City. Of course, as a non-native of western PA...

Cookies

If you haven’t visited Hot Franktuary recently you may not realize that we offer big cookies and even bigger brownies. Come on in and satisfy that sweet tooth! You’ll thank yourself later. Speaking of menu additions, an informed source (me) as told me that it’s likely soft pretzels and/or pierogies will soon be available at 325 Oliver Avenue.
