Takeout only. Nicky's is the only thai place on Northside, and boy is it good. I usually get pad thai (spice level starts at 1) or curry (spice level starts at 2 but it feels like a 3) and I always get an order of crab rangoons!

My favorite subs so far are Amazing Siegfried, The New Yorker, The Cathedral, Pittsburgher, THE Wiz, and if you like sausage, The Big Wheeler.

Bier's Pub

Takeout only. Some may call it a "greasy hole in the wall," and I agree, but it's a good thing. You may not find suits and Rolexes here, but you will find the best french toast and homefries in Pittsburgh! Lunch menu so-so, breakfast menu awesome.

Federal Street
Federal Street is an interesting place- there's a beer distributer and hospital lab at the top, a homeless shelter at the bottom, and quality food hidden in between. Be aware there may be homeless or otherwise needy individuals on this street.
