JThe Northside Shop Small & Give Big Guide for 2019k

jThe Northside Shop Small & Give Big Guide for 2019k

With the holiday season upon us, this year's Shop Small Guide is focused on the many ways readers can support small businesses, such as The Northside Chronicle, and remind all of us the importance of shopping, dining, and spending locally to better the Northside community.

This guide includes a variety of Northside small businesses and their offerings by main street areas, national and neighborhood events, plus food pantries and programs for those in need and those who wish to spend their support by way of monetary or product donations.

Take the pledge to Shop Small & Give Big this year! Try these 3 steps:

1. Pick three independent small businesses you'd miss if they disappeared tomorrow. Go visit them, say hi, and find a little something to buy this holiday.

2. Consider spending that $50 each month on items you need at the small businesses in your neighborhood instead of national chain stores or Amazon.

3. Build a new tradition by including a Northside small business or charitable group in an annual holiday or celebration- whether it be for the holidays, birthdays, or anniversaries.

National events

focused on local communities

Thanksgiving is on Thursday November 28th. Pick up your Thanksgiving table's fresh fixings, pies, bread, turkey, and beverages from Northside small businesses this year.

Many know Black Friday as a big box store event with blockbuster deals and never ending lines. Instead of hitting the malls on Friday, November 29th shop, dine, and/or patron Northside's Black-owned businesses.

Saturday, November 30th will be the 4th Annual Northside Small Business Saturday with many Northside independent businesses offering specials and giveaways. Formally founded in 2010 by the large credit card company, American Express, Small Business Saturday has become a nationally recognized event focused on bringing holiday dollars to independent businesses.

Museum Store Sunday follows Small Business Saturday on December 1st. Even if you've recently visited the museum, check out their gift shops which typically showcase local artists, designers, and original products. The Northside has eight independent museums including Randyland, Johnny Angel's Ginchy Stuff and Music Experience Museum, Bicycle Heaven, Photo Antiquities, the National Aviary, Children's Museum, the new Museum Lab and Mattress Factory in addition The Warhol and Carnegie Science Center which are part of the Carnegie Museums of

Pittsburgh group.

Grab your reusable bags and wallet- it's time to take a trip

all over Northside for these independent small business destinations

The weather seems unpredictable in any season, however Google Maps predicts a nice walk from Wagsburgh on the end of E Ohio St. to the Humane Animal Rescue at the end of Western Ave. is roughly a half hour. Enjoy a walk or bike ride through Allegheny Commons Park to reach East and West main streets. Public transportation and public parking is available in each main street. In the past, the Pittsburgh Parking Authority has provided free parking on Saturdays for the holiday season so check the kiosk prior to using the GoMobilePGH app.
