I'm going to tell you about some really special breakfast places serving unusually good food.

Probably the most famous breakfast place now well located in many parts of the city is Pamela's. Try their very special thin pancakes and wonderful hash browns in Oakland, Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, The Strip, Millvale, and the newest one in Mt. Lebanon.
