| - Homestead is trying. It really is, but it not yet there (there was an orange liquor license in a window so that shows promise). The Waterfront is a great shopping area, but it lacking in the restaurant vibe (chain, chain, chain). Head a few block over the train tracks to a little street called 8th Ave. There is a quaint eatery called Dorothy 6. The interior is unassuming with little relics of the steel industry placed throughout: the tap handles, the small framed art. Look around and there is some real history there. Industrial and hip meet and make a great pair. Don't overlook the great patio in the warm days.
We started with the pierogies. My advice, just get the jalapeno for all three, they have just the right amount of kick...a little zing at the end but nothing too spicy. We ordered the Firehouse Burger, the Meatloaf and a side of Brussel sprouts. All had great tastes and the gravy on my meatloaf could have been poured all over my plate. What a great flavor.
The best part about the evening was the service. Prompt, kind, (but not fake). Our food was timed perfectly and drinks were made with the quickness. (A pretty stellar beer list, I might add)
