That is what the official t-shirt says from Style Week Pittsburgh 2015. It all took place last week and it was the third annual. There were fashionable events at fashionable venues. I love to be introduced to new places to go.
The second day of Style Week took place at Perlé which is next door to Nola in Market Square and I must say, I was impressed. According to their website, Perlé is a sophisticated Champagne & Tápas lounge with a European atmosphere. It is named after the French word for “Pearls,” referring to the romantic synonym for the fine effervescent bubbles in a glass of Champagne; Perlé is a uniquely cosmopolitan lounge where everything is set in order to bring you closer to enjoyment.
Their concept is simple: An urbane atmosphere where our guests can unwind—a multi-faceted venue for social events, dancing, entertaining and the ability to host private banquets for large parties. You can enjoy the breathtaking view from their balcony, which sits high above the newly renovated historic Market Square in Downtown Pittsburgh. You will garner much appreciation for Champagne, as well as the finest cocktails and lounge music in Pittsburgh.
I think it is a wonderful location, you can have private parties there and they have an intimate space called the Speakeasy. You should see the “Champagne closet,” it is beautiful. I just might start drinking Champagne.
This is not a column about Perlé, but about the new look of Pittsburgh.
Right before I began writing this column I was sitting under the dryer at the hair salon looking through magazines. I was paging through the July/August edition of Condé Nast Traveler and I came upon a feature story about Pittsburgh. Maybe that is why I see so many out of town plates in the city; believe or not this is becoming a tourist destination. If you don’t believe me read the story in Condé Nast. It talks about our museums, biking trails, shopping and dining.
Did you know that about a week ago we had Restaurant Week in Pittsburgh? This week-long event gives you an opportunity to try restaurants at special pricing. They even had a kickoff event that sounded like it was a lot of fun. I ride by a lot of restaurants that I would like to try; this would have been the perfect time. Next year, I am going to be on board and I’m going to give you some advance notice. I don’t want to be alone while I’m trying out these new places.
Here is something I can give you advance notice about, it is the sixth annual Pittsburgh Fashion Week. It kicks off on Sept. 21, at Highmark Stadium and concludes with the Hall of Fame Luncheon on Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Omni William Penn Hotel. This year Ahmad Sandidge will be inducted into the Pittsburgh Fashion Week Hall of Fame. There is a great week of events so please check out their website and support this great event. Keep Pittsburgh Stylish!!!
