Pittsburgh is featured in the categories for Best New Restaurant and Humanitarian of the Year Awards.

The Fet-Fisk Restaurant and Bar in Bloomfield has been shortlisted as one of the top ten contenders for Best New Restaurant. Although the establishment officially started operations in 2019, it initially operated differently from conventional restaurants. Every Monday night, they organized pop-up dining events throughout the city with entirely fresh menus each time.

In 2024, they launch a conventional physical store in Bloomfield.

As stated on their website, they showcase local seasonal produce along with seafood and meats that come from sustainable sources.

Café Momentum, although based in Dallas and established as a nonprofit eatery by Houser, selected Pittsburgh as its premier out-of-state location when it expanded in March 2023.

The eatery assists juveniles with criminal records by imparting vital life skills along with educational and job prospects inside the realm of cooking and hospitality.

The island country of Nauru located in the Pacific is offering passports to foreign nationals for $105,000 (£81,000) as part of an effort to generate funding for its climate emergency reserve.
