PGH Exeeding My Expectations Yet Again

Post Date: Oct.07.08

What a week to be in Pittsburgh. Last Wednesday, I participated in Pittsburgh’s first Tweet Up, which was beyond awesome. Rarely do things exceed my expectations, but I have been in a state of awe since I stepped foot in Belle Notte on Wednesday evening. My colleagues and I experienced by far the best pizza ever in the strip and will be partaking again this Wednesday. Needless to say, I am a bit antsy just thinking about the dough that is the perfect balance of thick and crispy, thanks to cooking it right on the stone and the shredded, yes shredded pepperoni. The place exuded an air of your down-home pizza joint and I pictured myself frequenting it with family and friends, having long conversations and laughing over the delicious aroma.

Ok enough of this, it is making me hungry, and onto my next praise of Pittsburgh. The fireworks on Saturday night were a definite example of just how awesome Pittsburgh really is. It was exhilarating to see fellow burgh’rs atop Mt. Washington cheering together in celebration of the Iron City. As if delicious local pizza and large firework displays weren’t enough…

I was utterly impressed by a coffee shop just this morning. 21st Street Coffee in the strip made my day in many ways. I loved the combination of the hot mocha and cool whipped cream almost as much as the combination of my hot drink and the cool, crisp morning we experienced. The staff was friendly, even at 7 a.m. and the raspberry pecan muffin was a perfect accompaniment to my coffee. As I drove to the office I thought to myself, how could one city offer so many wonderful places and things to do… and it took me all of 2 seconds to answer myself simply, “Because its Pittsburgh, that’s why!”
