On February 20, 2010 South Side chefs will face-off once again for bragging rights to South Side’s “Best Soup” at the 6th Annual South Side Soup Contest presented by First National Bank. From 12-3 p.m. participating shops will host delicious soups prepared by neighborhood restaurants and offer great deals in their stores. Soup hoppers donate at least $12 each (purchased in advance, $15 day of) and a canned good to receive an event map, ticket and ballot that will enable them to sample up to two dozen soups all afternoon. The People's Choice Award for “Best Soup” will be given at the end of the day by popular demand.

Pre-sale tickets are now available. Click here to purchase. New for 2010, attendance will be limited to 1200 persons, so be sure to register early!

Proceeds of the South Side Soup Contest benefit The Brashear Association's Food Pantry. The South Side Soup Contest is presented by South Side Local Development Company, a non-profit community development corporation committed to the historic preservation and economic development of Pittsburgh’s South Side.

Gypsy will be featuring the soup we're entering in this year's contest on our Valentine's Menu! Be sure to visit us at Copies@Carson!

 Dr. Sketchy and Gypsy Cafe: We Win!
We are pleased and proud to announce that Gypsy and the Pittsburgh ToonSeum have have been recognized for the Creative Arts and Business Partnership Award by The Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council. The award recognizes a successful collaboration between an arts organization and a business that furthered the interests of both parties. From their site:

Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School (ToonSeum) & Gypsy Café, who partnered to host the Pittsburgh chapter of a world-wide movement that brings together artists, musicians, burlesque performers and unique models in a quirky, social atmosphere of drawing
and imagination.

 We believe in the power of positive community partnerships at Gypsy. If we can't do it together, we'll never do it alone! Thanks for noticing, GPAC!
