- Vegan Brunch at The Zenith and River Walk AfterwardsThe Zenith, Pittsburgh, PA
As this is a small gathering, please, if you sign up, show up.
If you must cancel, change your reservation as soon as you know so that someone else will have the opportunity to attend.The restaurant has been closed for several of the Sundays in August and September - I think they might be moving toward catering events there. Anyway, as far I can tell they will be open next Sunday.
Now - If you’ve never eaten at The Zenith, you're missing out on a Pittsburgh treasure.
The Zenith – Vegetarian restaurant and antique/vintage store (zenithpgh.com)
Run by the same family for many years, it’s a restaurant inside a vintage store, where everything is for sale and the delicious healthy all-you-can-eat vegan buffet will leave you stuffed but not feeling guilty. You get an entree, coffee or tea, plus the buffet (which includes a variety of home-made cakes) all for only $13 CASH.
Afterwards we'll walk to the Highline by 4th street then turn down to the river trail for the way back (about 3.5 miles total).
I’ve always found free street parking within a one block radius of the restaurant.
Meet up inside at the couches a little early so we can get on the list then all get seated together.
OK, see you there!
- BTB Monthly Bike Ride: Allegheny River Trail with Waterfall SidequestUS Postal Service Allegheny River Trail Parking, Emlenton, PA
Please join Chris and Beth as they host a 26 mile Bike ride on the Allegheny Trail. This route is all paved, and will include an adventure through 2 old railroad tunnels. These tunnels are not illuminated, so it is requested you have bike lights, or a flashlight, or stay close to the group as we cruise through the tunnels.
The Ride will begin on the Allegheny River Trail in Emlelton, PA. Highlights of the ride include:
Mile 0-6: We will be on the beautiful Allegheny River Trail traveling next to the Allegheny River.
Mile 6: As we approach mile six, we will venture through the Rockland Tunnel.
Mile 6-6.5: Here is where we will take a side quest. We will venture off the trail for .5 miles, and venture to see Freedom Falls, one of the top ten waterfalls in PA. Note: this is a gravel road, and the only significant incline on the ride. But since it is only .5 miles, if you are unable to ride, we can walk up the hill to explore the falls. Note - there is an old furnace here as well to explore.
Mile 7 -12: More cruising on the Allegheny River Trail
Mile 12-13: We will go through our second tunnel, the Kennerdale Tunnel.
On Mile 13, we can take a short break, have some snacks, and then head back.
Note: this is a 26-27 mile ride. We will do our best to keep everyone together, but the expected pace will be 10-12 mph to ensure we have enough time to complete the ride. Please bring water, and note the ride is self supported in regard to tools and bike maintenance.
The Meeting Point will be: 714 Main St, Emlenton, PA 16373. There is a small brewery we can also go to after the ride if interested: Emlenton Brew Haus 610 Main St, Emlenton, PA 16373
