Alphabet City

They have an excellent environment whether you’re looking for a special programming, a bookstore, a place to work, or a restaurant - Brugge in North is located at this place. I usually come here when they announce an artist off mainstream and I never leave disappointed.

Lovely place for book shopping, hanging out with your friends and have a delicious meal or during from their cafe. We went there to watch a movie downstairs from the City of Assylum program. Will definitely go there again.

It's a great place, with performances, readings and shows almost every day. A very varied bookstore, you can find many books translated from other languages and the restaurant is excellent. Everything for a perfect evening. Also those who visit the place are helping writers who are protected from persecution, jail and even murder, at City Of Asylum Pittsburgh. It is a wonderful place to celebrate freedom of expression. If you're lucky you might run into an award winning novelist and ask them to sign a book. Keep an eye on their calendar. Excellent Jazz music

This is really a gem in the North Side. We had brunch at the restaurant, and I don't think anyone left with an empty stomach. The food was delicious, the drinks were incredible, and the staff was so on top of it and polite!

We attended the performance Sunday 3/13. The music and musicians were wonderful. The problem is the diners in the room adjacent to the seating area for the performance were very loud, and got louder as the night progressed. They were very distracting and made it hard to enjoy the performance. One table in particular was very obnoxious, appeared to be drinking heavily, and when my wife motioned for them to be quiet, one woman at the table gave her the middle finger. There appears to be a curtain between the two areas, and perhaps if it was drawn, it would deaden the sound. Such a shame these ignorant people ruined the evening for the others.

It embarrasses me that it took me so long to visit the bookstore here, but I finally found time to visit for the first time yesterday and I was overjoyed to see such a vast collection of world literature. Even though the space is small, it's full of new discoveries and old favorites. The selection is solid and sections are organized well. This is the bookstore I've always wanted to lose an afternoon browsing around in. I'll definitely be back.

One of the best breakfast meals I’ve ever had in Pittsburgh! Food was seasoned well. Service was pretty good. Great location.
