I explained to the waitress I'd been working nights, so the meal I was looking for did not include eggs. Could I get the soup and salad lunch special? She didn't bat an eye, and it was 7:30 am. The atmosphere at that hour was very much a retiree coffee klatsch; familiar and joking. The coffee was a bottomless refill, and the waitress knew all her customers. The decor of the restaurant leaned towards maps of Canada, snowshoes, and antlers. I absolutely loved what was on the plate as a side: The soft, fluffy, toasted and buttered roll. It was a cross between a Parker house and a crumpet. Delicious! The French onion soup was nicely toasted, with a cheese unknown in France: mozzarella. The side salad was large enough for an entree, and they were kind enough to bring me oil and vinegar when I requested a vinaigrette. (The balsamic kind, which they had, was too sweet for me). I'd love to come back and try their flaky-looking cherry turnovers or danishes.

This was a pleasant surprise while I visited the area. I had time to kill and needed to find…read moresomething to do. I looked up what was in the area to fill that void and this popped up. At first I was skeptical as I was not sure what this was and where it was. I guess you can say that this is technically part of the Pitt campus they have here, but it is still confusing. It was confusing to get here, and then to figure out if/where you can park without being in violation of some law. Just pull into the lot and be on your way. As long as you are going to one of the three that are included here, you will be fine. When I walked inside, I did not know where to go. The museum is off to your left, but secured to the point that you cannot enter on your own. To the right you have the café/gift shop area. Right in front of you is what appears to be an information desk with many things on the counter. I, not sure what to do, and after trying the door to the museum, made my way into the café and asked for some direction. I was told to ring the bell at the information desk. When I went back out to the desk I found the bell with a fairly small note stating to ring it for the museum. Once I did that I was let into the museum and told which direction this flows and some information on what it was I was about to see. Once inside the museum it can be a bit overwhelming. Especially if you do not know what the museum is about. But you ease into it by reading all the information in front of you and go with the flow. First, I had no idea who Marilyn Horne was. Once you delve into this museum, you know who Marilyn Horne is. She is a world renown opera singer that came from this area. Starting in Bradford and then heading out to the West Coast to pursue music. She has sang at some of the most well-known opera houses throughout the world. As you walk through the museum (which doesn't take long as it is small) you basically walk through her life. Both on the professional level and personal level. You see her grow as a person and performer. You can scope out some of her costumes from shows she was in. You can read over how she has met some interesting people. You can sit down in the theater area where you watch a short documentary with commentary from Ms. Horne herself. I really liked that portion. You sit in the viewing area and they dim the lights to let you know the show is about to start. I think that was a nice, subtle touch. This is one museum that you can do in less than one day and really take it all in. Best of all, it is another free museum to get into!

HIDDEN ARTS & CULTURAL GEM ALERT!! :-D :-D :-D…read more My husband and I were in Bradford PA for a quiet weekend getaway, and initially headed here to relax in the cafe. We figured that since it is a Starbucks, they'd have WiFi for some laptop work. When we arrived, we were immediately sidetracked by all of the other things in this wonderfully renovated space! Which are all FREE! The Marilyn Horne Museum and Cafe is located on the first floor of one of the UPitt buildings. The museum is free admission. Marilyn Horne is an opera icon who originally hails from Bradford PA. I personally know very little about opera, and was entirely unfamiliar with here music or contributions to the field. But the museum did an excellent job of enlightening me on her illustrious career in a very interesting and entertaining way. The museum is small, essentially one loop of exhibits, with a theater towards the middle that plays a documentary about Marilyn's life. But if you take your time going through it, you can easily spend an hour or more here. The museum exhibits are bright and easy to read. Many have multimedia elements, like video and audio recordings. There are also a couple interactive exhibits and games. I liked the tips on how to get the most of your own opera voice. We didn't belt it out, but I'm sure it would have been okay if we did. Opera in all forms is celebrated here. ;-) In addition to the museum, the first floor also includes the Starbucks café, and a lovely gift shop. The gift shop is well organized, with all of the attention to detail that any major museum gift shop would have. We picked up a CD of Marilyn's most known recordings. Neither my husband nor I are typically opera listeners, but we are all-around music lovers. (Well, except country, of course, hehe). Marilyn's accomplished life so wonderfully curated in the museum had us wanting to hear more, and share her music with our kids at home. We also had the opportunity to chat with the museum director for a while, Matthew. He was beyond knowledgeable about Marilyn, about some general Bradford PA history, and about the building itself that the museum is in. He encouraged us to explore some of the building's authentic charms. I hoofed it up to the fifth floor to poke around the original ballroom space, which is slated for revitalization. The hope is it will someday be used as a grand performance space. The potential is definitely there, so once it gets to that point, I'm in! The original parquet floors and art-deco chandeliers are stunning. It will be a sight to behold once it is all restored and functional again. Let me close with saying again that I know nothing about opera. I am not an opera fan. I've never been to an opera. But I love learning about regional history and arts contributions. And I love when someone's passion for sharing knowledge is so vibrant, and accessible, and well done, no matter what the actual content of that knowledge may be, that you can't help but be swept up by that love of sharing learning, too. The Marilyn Horne Museum is just that. You don't have to love opera to take something away from this space. Bravo to the makers of this lovely contribution to this community. I look forward to visiting again with our kids! :-D

They do not advertise it as 100% gluten-free because there is not a dedicated gluten-free prep area, but they clearly label it as gluten-friendly and explain the cross-contamination risk, which I respect. That being said, the staff went out of their way to be careful. They changed gloves and used fresh, clean utensils to help reduce the risk as much as possible. I ate the gluten-friendly pizza over the course of a couple of days and had no ill effects, even though I am very sensitive to gluten. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the restaurant was spotlessly clean. They also accept Apple Pay, which is always convenient, and from the looks of it, they have a rewards system as well. I highly recommend The Arena, and if I am ever driving through the area again, I will definitely eat there again.

The menus are on screens above the counters like a fast food place but the cashier was very helpful on navigating the items. The staff in general was very friendly and helpful. My wife ordered a chicken salad and was satisfied on the size and the contents in the salad. She said her chicken was very flavorful and juicy. I ordered a calzone and wings. The calzone had marinara in it like a Stromboli would. It was cooked to perfection and definitely was delicious. I got buffalo sauce on my wings. I ordered them extra crispy and they were not as crispy as I expected. Not saying they were not good because they were good. We also tried the Maine Soda. The Mexicane cola was not great. It had a different aftertaste that wasn't the best. It was in a glass bottle. I got baclava for a dessert. It was delicious. I do recommend this place but be aware it's not a cheap place but it's not super expensive either. Portions are good for the price. Will def try this place again.
