The Pittsburgh CLO is presenting a timeless classic at the Benedum Center from July 27 to August 5th, 2018: Disney's Beauty and the Beast!
We ventured down to the Benedum Center as guests of the CLO to take in this show, and were pleasantly surprised by the live performance of one of our favorite Disney masterpieces!
Pittsburgh Magazine is known for hosting several events in the city throughout the year. Their flagship event, in our opinion at least, is the Best Restaurant Party which takes place each June. The next biggest, and considerably smaller event, is Best of the Burgh. This one focuses on the best of the city's businesses overall and takes places just a few weeks later each July at Stage AE.
We were invited to check out the Best of the Burgh party by the magazine, and wanted to share a bit about what you need to know before attending the next event!
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
We are always on the lookout for unique places to shop in Pittsburgh, and the seasonal Neighborhood Flea marketplace is definitely one such spot. With local vendors selling vintage and handmade goods, the Neighborhood Flea reminds us of a hybrid of the Pittsburgh Vintage Mixer and Handmade Arcade, two other fantastic events for shopping and supporting local businesses.
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.
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!
Kayafest is the annual block party by the popular Strip District restaurant (and one of our favorites), Kaya.
Taking place each May, this one offers about eight hours of live music (with many bands inspired by the Caribbean), opportunities to eat street food made from the chefs at the restaurant, and of course, copious amounts of refreshments.
As block parties in the Strip District are few and far between, it is also one of only a few times of the year that a section of Smallman Street is shut down for an entire day- giving you an opportunity to enjoy the Strip District in a completely new way.
Sometimes you just want to be alone in a museum. Other times, you want to party at a museum.
At the Carnegie Museums, this means heading to one of the periodic 21+ Nights where you and other like-minded adults can experience the museum with a beer and participate in themed activities- 100% kid free!
We were invited to check out a recent 21+ Night, and in this one wanted to share what the experience is like for those looking to attend a future event.
