New York City: Rosa Mexicana

When  the first Rosa Mexicano (which means “Mexican pink”) opened with chef and co-founder Josefina Howard in 1984, New York Magazine applauded the restaurant for introducing New Yorkers to a rather unfamiliar, elevated version of Mexican cuisine. Thirty years later, Rosa Mexicana continues to redefine expectations with their regionally authentic Mexican cuisine that uses socially responsible ingredients combined with stylish spaces and festive atmosphere. All of their award-winning dishes remain faithful to their traditional roots while incorporating regional accents and inspired innovation. You’ll know just what we’re talking about when you try our Guacamole en Molcajete, made in a traditional lava-rock mortar and prepared tableside. While the original Midtown location continues to serve their signature menu amidst rustic, handcrafted furnishings, their new generation of restaurants is defined by stunning modern interiors. Many of the new Rosa Mexicano locations feature dramatic architectural details such as cascading water walls against a vibrant palette of purples, pinks, reds and oranges. With fourteen  locations from New York to Miami to Los Angeles, their restaurants continue to win rave reviews and loyal patrons everywhere we go. Enter their world and experience their passion for the flavors of Mexico.

Pittsburgh: Red Star Tavern

Red Star Tavern serves American comfort food smack dab in the middle of Pittsburgh's South Shore (at Station Square in Bessemer Court). Put the suit away when heading to Red Star Tavern — dress is casual, as are the vibes. A mid-priced establishment, Red Star Tavern offers an updated version of the classic '40s American tavern. At Red Star, you can sip a martini, impress a date, people-watch, indulge in upscale comfort food--whatever suits your fancy--into late hours with a spectacular view. U-shaped leather booths, cushy chairs by a roaring hearth, and a bar with stools aplenty are made emphatically old-fashioned by a stone wall and dark mahogany surroundings.

Pittsburgh: Original Fish Market

The Original Fish Market is roomy; however, there is always a crowd at the octagonal bar. The  menu changes daily. The wine list is extensive. A bundle of tables in the front and rear abstractly connects a middle row of padded wooden berths that could be the last gasp of a Pullman night train rattling along its midnight route. Retro 1950s patterned wallpaper evokes images of an old seaside cabana, hinting at the primal allure of the ocean. Crater-sized light fixtures break the patrician grandeur, which are a little funky. Chef Annapolen is a perfectionist with a sense of urgency and a tremendous work ethic; he is a second-generation chef who remembers falling for restaurant life when his dad took him to work as a small child. Fascinated by the big, shiny equipment and the inevitable cacophony of a busy kitchen - "Everybody yellin' and it smelled great" - Annapolen had settled on this career path by the time he was 10, and he has never wavered. His thoughtful, prolific output and attention to detail still evoke old memories:The Original Fish Market effectively maintains the illusion of the sea in our midst - minus the boardwalk arcades, the amateur parades, and Italian ice.
