Highland Park Dining News
Jesse Seager, co-owner with his wife, Amy, of Point Brugge in Point Breeze, reports that they have re-committed to their Highland Park project. Plans for Park Brugge stalled due to problems with flooding, but the city of Pittsburgh has assumed responsibility for fixing the problem and construction is ahead of schedule. The Seagers have signed a new lease with the building owner, and they hope that the restaurant will open this winter.
