Neighborhood

At Shaker Square, “meet me at Dewey’s” is often a plan for a good cup of coffee and informal meeting. The Square offers a rich and varied selection of restaurants ranging from family, casual and fine dining. Fire Food and Drink has become not only a neighborhood favorite but a city-wide treasure; Yours Truly and Captain Tony’s are traditional favorites. Balaton, Sergio’s Sarava, SASA, Zanzibar and Grotto Wine Bar provide a choice for every palate.

In the summertime, there are concerts in the middle of Shaker Square and on Saturdays, rain or shine, the North Union Farmer’s Market (the original) draws thousands from all over. Shaker Square Cinemas has an array of films to suit mood and taste. Larchmere is a walk away for some of the city’s best antiques, boutiques, and books. More good food spots from diners to neighborhood traditions to fine eating.

Nearby retailers include necessities like Dave’s Grocery Store, CVS Drug Store, US and PNC Banks, dry cleaning, and hair salon as well as specialty shops offering book binding, automobile bodywork, dance schooling, florist services and art galleries.
