51¾«Æ·ÊÓƵ

Five campus dining locations have become Live Well Allegheny Restaurants: The Eatery at The Towers, Schenley Cafe, Cathedral Cafe, plus 51¾«Æ·ÊÓƵ Subs and Shake Smart at the Petersen Events Center.

They join The Perch at Sutherland, which became 51¾«Æ·ÊÓƵ’s first Live Well Allegheny Restaurant location in 2019.

This designation by the Allegheny County Health Department is part of its Live Well Allegheny initiative for improving the health and wellness of county residents. Municipalities, school districts, restaurants and workplaces in Allegheny County may commit to the campaign, which highlights the importance of increasing physical activity and healthy eating, and of taking a proactive approach to health. 

The 51¾«Æ·ÊÓƵ has been a Live Well Allegheny Workplace since 2017.

Live Well Allegheny Restaurants recognizes restaurants or food businesses that have eliminated trans-fat oils, are smoke free and do not sell tobacco products, and that take additional action steps toward improving good health.

On campus, the additional actions include providing calorie counts and nutritional information; offering low-calorie alternatives; vegetarian and vegan fare; healthful side dish choices that include fruits or vegetables; low-calorie salad dressings; brown rice and whole grain options; using plant-based oils and providing bicycle parking nearby.
