restaurants and free wifi near UPMC Presbyterian hospital

[ironymaiden]

i will be in Oakland the last week in October and first week in November while my father has surgery at UPMC. i've been trying to do research on my own, but Yelp Pittsburgh seems a little thin and i don't know enough about where to look for local reviews.

please, kind citizens, comment with your favorite places, a street where restaurants cluster, or websites i should check out for recommendations.

i'm looking for suggestions within a twenty minute walk of UPMC or the Wyndham hotel on Forbes for:

- places with free wifi
- a coffeehouse or tea shop (bonus if hot beverage and wifi go together)
- restaurants - especially places that serve vegetables. while i'm looking forward to enjoying the greasy delights of the kind of places that cluster near colleges, more than a week of it nonstop will kill me. asian food good. south asian food good. (but i also would enjoy some pierogies. and subs. and cheesesteak.)
- a grocery or convenience store for snacks

if this stuff has been covered in a previous post, please point me to it. thanks.
