I think that the only Ben & Jerry’s in Pittsburgh is in Sq. Hill on Forbes Ave.

I guess it has been a while since I have been in Ben & Jerry’s (probably because I am often seeking the ice cream at Oh Yeah!) – I didn’t know Steven Colbert had his own flavor – Americone Dream.

April 30 http://iheartpgh.com/2008/04/29/dollar-cupcakes-at-dozen-in-sq-hill-on-wed-april-30/ http://iheartpgh.com/2008/04/29/dollar-cupcakes-at-dozen-in-sq-hill-on-wed-april-30/#comments Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:23:16 +0000 admin http://iheartpgh.com/?p=856 I have received some rave reviews from friends and family about the cupcakes at Dozen. I have now received phone calls from some of these cupcake lovers to ask if I know if Dozen is open after 6pm on Sundays because said cupcake lovers “must have a Dozen cupake.” I promise I will post some pictures of a recent visit to Dozen soon but if you are a cupcake lover or have been looking for an excuse to try Dozen I think you will be happy to see this announcement.

I love it – I play every day. I am even thinking of organizing a Scrabulous tournament.

Since the weather is just gross outside I think that Scrabble is a great inside activity and luckily there are 2 Scrabble clubs in the Pittsburgh area.

The Pittsburgh Scrabble® Club (National Scrabble® Association Club #352) meets in Squirrel hill, usually on Wednesday – you will have to check with the organizers for game locations.

The South Hills Scrabble Club, also recognized by the National Scrabble Association, meets from 1 to 3 p.m. every Saturday at the Mount Lebanon Public Library, 16 Castle Shannon Boulevard, near Washington Road.

Looks like there’s lots of fun charity events this weekend. If your interests fall more towards electronic entertainment, I’d recommend dropping by Gamers Give Back. All proceeds from the tournament and sale will benefit the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Take a look at the prizes and items for sale if you’re planning on coming, there’s lots of good deals on holiday presents there. And if you can’t make it, consider donating directly to the hospital by buying something from their wish list.

When: Saturday, December 1st, 2007 from 5-8 pm
Where: CyberConxion @ 1710 Murray Ave in Squirrel Hill

This year’s Story Walk is Pirate themed and the featured book is Henry and the Buccaneer Bunnies which was illustrated by Pittsburgher John Manders.  There will even be a giant pirate ship set up in Blue Slide Park.

As any Pittsburgh child will tell you, Blue Slide Park is the BEST playground in town located at the entrance to Frick park on Beechwood Blvd.  See a map of the park here.  Here (and here) are some nice posts about others who love Blue Slide Park.

I know that cupcake lovers and beer lovers read this blog. But I had to read it in the East End Brewing Newsletter. Cupcakes made with beer?!? AWESOME!

WOULD YOU LIKE SPRINKLES ON THAT PINT?
Black Stout makes a great cake – something East End Growler Customers learned back in December, with the introduction of Black Strap Stout Baking Mix in the brewery’s ever expanding gift shoppe. (Ok, so it’s
really just a “shop”… actually, it’s more like a shelf – or I should say “shelfe”?)
But like a wise man once said, “All that mixing can be really exhausting”. So we’ve worked out a way to save you the trouble… DOZEN is a new cupcake shop at Forbes and Murray in Squirrel Hill, and they’re introducing the BLACK STRAP STOUT cupcake this month, and featuring SIX PACKS of these little baked delights for
St. Patricks Day. BE SURE to tell them you heard about them from that guy at East End Brewing, and they might just bring some over for Growler Hours next week! http://dozencupcakes.com/

I think we may need to organize an IheartPGH cupcake party…
