Sree's Foods
Simple, no-frills Indian restaurant with great food. Their selection isn't big (they usually have only about five dishes per day) and it's pretty low-key (all dishes are served in styrofoam take-out containers), but it's very tasty and inexpensive.

Wiener World
A small hot dog stand tucked on Smithfield St. There are no tables or chairs here, just one small counter inside and an order window facing the street. But the franks are excellent, as are the fries and fish sandwiches.

S.W. Randall Toyes & Giftes
An old-fashioned toy store, SW Randall is a survivor from Pittsburgh's heyday and worth a visit for its idiosyncratic collection. It is essentially Pittsburgh's version of New York City's FAO Schwarz.
