Funky alternative stores (Pittsburgh, Lebanon, Butler: homes, neighborhoods, to buy)

[Raven1976]

Will be visiting Pittsburgh this summer and wonder if there is an area where you can buy alternative type clothes, funky items, vintage?


Also is there a place to buy vegan food other than whole foods and Trader Joes?

Funky clothing - Antropologie at Galleria mall. Check out their web site.

Vintage - I don't know but there has to be some on Walnut st. Oh, you may find vintage at the 2 Avalon stores in Pgh. One is in Mt. lebanon, the other in Sq. hill, I think. You can most certainly find vintage gently used, brand names (Manolos, Prada etc) Please check out their web site.

Veggies: the Strip.

I mean alternative type clothes like punk, goth, fetish

For vintage, there's
Hey Betty < http://www.heybettyvintageclothing.com/ > and
Eons < http://www.yelp.com/biz/eons-fashion-antique-pittsburgh > on Ellsworth in Shadyside.
Avalon Exchange is in Squirrel Hill and Mt. Lebanon < http://www.avalonexchange.com/ >
There's a handful of other shops in Lawrenceville, too.

As to vegan food are you looking for groceries or restaurants? There was a thread last year: Vegan restaurants in pittsburgh????

Silly me I thought you were talking about alternative to business suit
Have no idea. I'm a little old for that type of thing.

However i think there's a store in the mall that seels this type of things... Forgot its name

Punk clothes: Slacker -
1321 East Carson Street on the South Side

For food, there's the East End Food Coop
7516 Meade Street

You'll probably find something interesting around the South Side, Squirrel Hill, Lawrenceville, or Shadyside neighborhoods. All have interesting small stores and probably vegan restaurants. For fresh food items, check out the Strip District.

There's a fetish clothes store in Homestead on Eighth Avenue called Outer Skin and a place in Lawrenceville on Butler Street, but I forget the name.

If you are vegan, try and get to the Coop. It is a good bet.

If you are vegan and like dessert, there's always something at Dozen Bake Shop, numerous locations. Dozen Bake Shop
