Older Pittsburghers love to wax nostalgic about restaurants that are no longer. But in Regent Square, where the new Frick Park Tavern recently opened, no one’s really talking about the former Ease Modern Comfort Cuisine which stood before it. Pittsburghers old—and young—are flocking to this new iteration of space and cuisine that suits this diverse neighborhood perfectly.
