Best Bookstore Beyond Bedtime Books

Though Beyond Bedtime Books recently celebrated 14 years in business, the neighborhood spot still comes across as a hidden gem. Located on Potomac Ave. in the heart of Dormont, the locally-owned independent bookstore, with its warm hardwood floors and pressed tin ceiling, exudes coziness, charm, and dare I say it, a little bit of 1998's (complete with a dedicated children's room). This real-life shop around the corner, which even describes as quaint, brims with new, used, rare, and antique volumes, along with greeting cards, and promises it will gladly order any title your heart desires. Regular readings, giveaways, and events like Booze and Books, which lets readers sip a complimentary glass of wine with chocolate while they browse after hours, only sweeten the experience for bibliophiles -Rachel Wilkinson

Best International Grocery Store Labriola's

I hope no one at Labriola's is reading this, because if they are, they might find out they're charging way, way less than Whole Foods for top-tier lunchmeat, and I really don't want them to up their prices. Not only does Labriola's have the best deli counter around, they also have everything you need to turn your kitchen into something that resembles Nonna's, whether you had a Nonna or not. There are house-made sauces, sausages, lasagnas and raviolis; dozens of Italian baked goods; an incredible selection of staple ingredients from the old country; and an aisle with so many pasta varieties your head will spin like a stick of fusilli. Whatever you're stocking up on, throw in a panettone before you go. -Ali Trachta

Best Shoe Store Little's

Yes, you can have any pair of shoes your heart desires delivered to your door with a few simple clicks on your phone, but there are real advantages to going to an actual shoe store, and Little's — the Squirrel Hill institution since 19 freaking 32 — proves that over and over again. Not only do they have an ample but well-curated selection of footwear for everyone in the family, the employees there understand how shoes are supposed to fit. If you're wide or narrow, or between sizes, the person helping you is bound to find something that feels good and will last you. You just can't say the same for those $20 slides you bought from Amazon that gave you blisters. -Ali Trachta
