Mixtape is gonna be open Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday until 12 pm according to their new hours (not counting Friday and Saturday because those are more of a "nightclub" vibe).

More of a bar (though it is "caffeine and cocktails") and probably not the best lighting/setup to do work, but you never know.

There's a couple combination cafe/bar places that might fit the bill, but they're still going to be more bar like at night. The Abbey on Butler in Lawrenceville. Margeaux in East Liberty. I guess they're both similar in concept to the beehive, but where the beehive had a cool punk vibe neither the Abbey nor Margeaux have a cool anything. They're both just variations on an upscale yuppie hangout. They're might be other similar places I'm missing.

gotta be more entertaining than a coffee shop and just about as many distractions. The ticket prices is about the same as a coffee unless you get a Latte. The scenery always changes, and gosh darn it...People love looking at our city. There's a whole sub stating as much.

Ride the incline up and down!!! That should get a rise out of some jag.

I don’t know if this is considered a hidden gem, but Chengdu Gourmet on Forward Ave in Squirrel Hill is fantastic if you like Szechuan-style Chinese food. Honestly my favorite Chinese place in the city, and it’s byob too. I recommend the chicken in a flaming pan

I love momo and we're spoiled for choice if you're willing to go through the liberty tunnels. My favorite is Himali Kitchen's chili momo. It's a good level of spicy - enough to clear your sinuses and get some endorphins going. A good choice if you're having a bad day.

They also have gundruk soup on the menu. It's made with pickled greens and has about an inch of oil on the top. The oil is a bit much for me so I take some off but the soup itself is SO tasty.
