Crystal Restaurant on Penn Avenue in downtown Pittsburgh appeared in Season 4, Episode 7 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “A Taste of Everywhere,” which aired September 15, 2008, as a Lebanese and Mediterranean kitchen bringing authentic Middle Eastern cooking to Pittsburgh’s downtown dining scene. Also listed as Crystal on Penn, the restaurant earned its DDD segment with house-made kibbe, hummus, and Lebanese specialties that most of the city had never encountered at a neighborhood restaurant. Crystal Restaurant has since permanently closed.
