Restaurant in Pittsburgh named one of the best in America by the New York Times
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A restaurant in Pittsburgh was named one of the 50 best places to eat in America by the New York Times.
This week, the New York Times released its “America’s Best Restaurants 2024” list, and Fet-Fisk in Pittsburgh made the cut. The restaurant on Liberty Avenue in the city’s Bloomfield neighborhood was one of two eateries in Pennsylvania to earn the honor.
New York Times reporter Priya Krishna said Fet-Fisk is “the restaurant equivalent of a cozy sweater.” Co-founders Nik Forsberg and Sarah LaPonte have created an atmosphere that is “refined” yet “comfortable and unfussy,” Krishna wrote. Forsberg was nominated for a James Beard award last season.
In a post on Instagram on Tuesday, Fet-Fisk said it is “overwhelmed and our hearts are swollen with pride, thanks to the crew that propelled us onto this compilation of wonderful restaurants in the nation.”
“Running a restaurant is no cakewalk, and moments to pause, revel, and celebrate are few and far between. but today it feels a little easier,” the Instagram post went on to say.
Fet-Fisk’s menu features a large selection of seafood and an extensive wine and cocktail list. The restaurant is open Thursday through Monday. Dinner is served from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., and the bar stays open until 11 p.m. Reservations can be made online and walk-ins are accepted.
The New York Times said its reporters and editors traveled to nearly every state “scouting restaurants” for its annual list of best eateries.
A man from Fayette County has been arrested and is facing over 1,000 charges related to alleged animal cruelty and neglect.
Fayette County District Attorney Mike Aubele said that John Saxberg, 57, is facing charges in connection with what he called “a suspected illegal kennel operation” in Washington Township.
According to DA Aubele, Saxberg is accused of subjecting numerous animals to “deplorable conditions” and “circumstances constituting torture,” adding that approximately ten animals suffered serious bodily injuries.
Court records show that Saxberg is facing 1,029 criminal charges in total with offenses including aggravated cruelty to animals, cruelty to animals, neglect of animals, penalties related to dog licensing, and violations of vaccine requirements.
52 of the charges that Saxberg is facing are felonies, according to court records.
Online court paperwork shows that Saxberg was arraigned on Tuesday afternoon and is being held in the Fayette County Prison after bail was posted at $85,000.
A preliminary hearing for Saxberg is scheduled for late next week.
