I'm still very new to the Pittsburgh life, but so far it's pretty great. So much to do in such close distances to myself that there is no way you could possibly be bored, especially on the food. WIth the immense amount of cultures right in Oakland, the food is just as much a variety as the people.

Here are 11 restaurants to try while visiting the great steel city:

1. Piada

Located at 3600 Forbes Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15213, Piada is the Chipotle masterpiece of italian deliciousness. I recommend the Balsamic Salad with the balsamic chicken it is very fantastic to say the least.

2. The Porch at Schenley

Located at 221 Schenley Dr Pittsburgh, PA 15213, The Porch serves up Pittsburgh favorites and in the tastiest possible way. Experience the local taste in one place.

3. Primanti Bros.

Located at 3803 Forbes Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15213, if you haven't been to Primanti Bros. I'm disappointed in you. Try out some signature Pittsburgh sandwiches and you'll find that the city has some pretty great sandwich choices.

4. Noodles and Co.

Located at 3805 Forbes Ave Oakland, PA 15213, Noodles and Co. is another mix of food choices, serving anything from pasta to soup to korean meatballs this place is pretty great for a quick bite to go with some savory dishes.

5. Bangkok Balcony

Located at 846 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15217, this place serves up some really great Thai food on a second floor building with a large window view of the area. It is pretty fancy and a really great place for date night.

6. Beta Bites

Located at 338 S Bouquet St Pittsburgh, PA 15213, Beta Bites is an eatery that serves some signature Jewish plates.

7. Fuku Tea

Located at 3800 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, Fuku Tea has some amazing bubble tea that soothes my soul. For all you Korean food lovers this is the place to get some tasty bubble tea in a quiet place.

8. Soho

Located at 203 Federal St, Pittsburgh, PA 15212, Soho is more than likely the best place to hit up before, during, or after a baseball game seeing how it is located near PNC Park especially with the array of American favorites.

9. Peace, Love and Little Donuts

Located at 118 Meyran Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, this little place offers a unique type of donut. Using classic dessert favorites, and other flavors to the base their donuts selection off of and they so quite sweetly.

10. The Colony

Located at 1125 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, which just so happens to be one of two cat cafes located in Pittsburgh. This fancy place serves alcohol, appetizers, coffee and tea and you can rent a time to play with some cats.

11. Black Cat Market

Unfortunately this cat cafe does not have a set address currently, but is setting to open in the summer of 2017 in hopes to offer up free love for their kitties which are open for adoption from the partnering shelter! Watch for this place, because you'll want to drink some coffee and play with some cats!

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

No, I can't help you.

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

Please hold your blonde joke.

1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"

4. "You must really like the color pink!"

5. "You’re probably not into sports, right?"

6. "You must have such a bubbly personality."

7. "Your wardrobe must consist of all things preppy."

8. "What sorority are you in?"

9. "You were probably a cheerleader in high school."

10. "You look like you’re from L.A. because your hair is so light."

11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"

12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"

13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."

14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"

15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"

16. "I’m surprised about you; I thought you would be a lot ditsier."
