Everything from international restaurants to unique mom-and-pops
Restaurants dot Route 172, which bisects the neighborhood, running east to west. Located on Lincoln Way East is El Campesino, a highly rated Mexican eatery with a low-key, casual atmosphere. Opened in 2021, Fizzlestix is a newer family-owned restaurant. “Everybody serves burgers and fries, but we’re a little different,” says owner Jeff Buynak. Fizzlestix delivers an elevated take on classic American food with signature gourmet burgers and milkshakes. “What we try to do is bring together a bunch of flavors and dishes from the U.S. and give them our own little twist. Every city has a different thing that it's known for. We wanted to create our own take on things with specials from different cities in mind.”
Just east of the neighborhood is a small shopping center featuring stores like Giant Eagle Supermarket and Target.
