Braddock's Trail Park in Westmoreland County that, unless you are specifically looking for it or live nearby, you've probably never heard of before.
That is because this 148 acre park is relatively off-the-beaten-path for most hikers, and even we overlooked it for several years until our friends at UncoveringPA told us there is a modestly sized waterfall there to check out.
So we all hopped in a car and went down to see what the park is like!
Trader Jack's is an interesting place, there is no other way to say it.
This massive flea market in Bridgeville is one of the largest in the region and is the kind of place you go to if you have one thing in mind: to find a deal!
The Pittsburgh Riverhounds are a soccer team in the United Soccer League that calls Highmark Stadium in Station Square home.
We made the trip down to the stadium for a Fourth of July game in 2018 and wanted to share the important things you need to know about taking in a game in this one.
Pick any given weekend, and odds are good there are a number of Pittsburgh events and seasonal attractions going on in and around the city. In fact, as far as enjoying Pittsburgh is concerned, you could occupy the bulk of your free time only going to seasonal activities and still not hit them all. But as with … Read more
If you were to poll the music crowd in Pittsburgh about their least favorite venue in the city, odds are good you're going to hear a pretty uniform response that it is Star Lake based on their notorious parking issues alone.
But if you ask us, we're probably going to say Stage AE is ours.
They don't have the same parking issues, but we found no shortage of things to dislike about this venue after a recent show.
As with our other concert reviews, this one is not about the Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys concert (they were awesome), but is instead all about what Stage AE concerts are like.
When it comes to drinking at Pittsburgh's breweries, we know a thing or two about it (we have been to nearly all of them, after all).
But what do you do if you want to try out our 50+ breweries without making the drive all over the western half of the state? The answer is simple, go to Beers of the Burgh.
This one is the best festival for local beer in western Pennsylvania, and will be a new tradition for us moving forward.
Independent Brewing Company is making a name for itself in Pittsburgh's drinking scene for its unique beer selection.
But did you know this one also serves a full menu that could go toe-to-toe with most restaurants? After hearing about a menu overhaul in early 2018, we made our way out to this one to have them give us their best shot!
If spring in Pittsburgh is when things come to life, summer is when the city shines.
Long, hot sunny days in Pittsburgh are in short commodity, and even if the weather during the summer can borderline on the absurd with regards to heat and humidity, there are still a number of great things to do in Pittsburgh this season.
Today we want to share seven of our favorite activities to do during summer in Pittsburgh. To learn more about each spot, click the links below!
Two things are true about Pittsburgh's food scene: we love to put fries on top of everything, and pierogies are a staple part of our diets.
The origin of the former tradition is, naturally, Primanti Brothers, whose popular sandwiches cultivated the fries-as-a-topping phenomenon we know today.
On the pierogy side of the spectrum no one has popularized the dish more in the regional diet than the Shenandoah, Pennsylvania-based Mrs. T's Pierogies, the largest producer of frozen pierogies in the country.
For the longest time these two grew in their own cuisines independently, but this year they have joined forces to create a sandwich that combines Pittsburgh's two love affairs into one: The Polish Hill sandwich.
We were invited to Primanti Brothers by the folks at Mrs. T's Pierogies to check this one out, and are really glad we did.
Pittsburgh Magazine is one of the city's largest local media outlets and features everything from news to event coverage to restaurant reviews.
Each May the magazine unveils their top restaurants for the year (generally 30-40 picks) as selected by an independent panel. This unveiling culminates in their annual Best Restaurant Party that takes place at Acrisure Stadium (formerly Heinz Field) in early June- with many of the top Pittsburgh restaurants participating!
I was invited out to the 2019 event as a media guest of Pittsburgh Magazine and wanted to share my thoughts of this annual event!
