The Top 5 Coffee Spots In Pittsburgh

Yinz like coffee? I know I do.

Well lucky you, Pittsburgh has been named one of the top five cities for coffee lovers! Pittsburgh is in a strong forth place. Only Portland, OR, Seattle, WA and Minneapolis, MN beat Pittsburgh out of the number one spot.

What can't coffee cure is the real question? To me, nothing. How can you go wrong with an iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts or a caramel macchiato from Starbucks?

There are many chain coffee shops. They are a dime a dozen. They do not offer much outside the normal cups of subpar caffeine filled, over sugary beverages. The vibe you get when walking into one of these chain coffee shops definitely is not very inviting either. Thankfully in Pittsburgh, there is a huge collection of small time and locally owned shops. There are also some roasteries providing a different atmoshphere and escape from the normal chain coffee shops.

1. BIG DOG

Big Dog is a beautiful coffee shop with a great environment. It has a wood burning fireplace, patio, art work on the walls AND it serves breakfast food....how could you go wrong? To be specific, they offer an oatmeal bar. What better way to start off your work day?

2. ESPRESSO A MANO

Expresso A Mano is located on Butler Street. Butler Street is very busy and so is this coffee shop. This coffee shop is so good, it lures people from all over the city. "A Mano" means by hand so everything in this shop is hand crafted everyday which makes it very special.

3. LA PRIMA

La Prima is located in the Strip District in Pittsburgh; a very busy place especially on the weekends for many people to shop. This place is full of culture, character and coffee for everyone.

4. CONSTELLATION COFFEE

This coffee shop is relatively new to the Pittsburgh area. It is a very large coffee shop located on Penn Avenue. The coffee beans they use are from a special place and make the experience even better.

5. 21ST STREET

This coffee shop is also located in the Strip District. Some people portray this place as pretentious but this shop takes pride in their appreciation for uncontaminated coffee and attention to everyone's passion for this beverage.

Yes, all these shops are very special and out of the ordinary. BUT, sometimes you just can not go wrong with a medium caramel swirl iced coffee from Dunkin!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
