Page Dairy Mart South Side


After visiting Sewickley we drove over to the Southside to try some soft serve ice cream at "Page Dairy Mart". It is located under a bridge, literally. Normally it is not somewhere you would stop but we saw on a Rick Sebak special "It's the Neighborhoods" that this place was a icon of the south side and has been around since the late 19th century. It had to be rebuilt after the 1936 flood and again after a gas explosion in 1958. The ice cream was great!

By the way, Rick Sebak is a local Pittsburgh celebrity, producing many made for PBS specials about Pittsburgh and surrounding neighborhoods. Now we have Rick Steves (Jennie's favorite travel guy on PBS), Rick Bayless (Bryan's favorite mexican food guru on PBS) and Rick Sebak (everyone's favorite Pittsburgh expert on PBS).
