Latkepalooza

December 10, 2012 Eric

[note] Say hello to our new blogger Eric! He has been writing posts about events around town – keep an eye on IheartPGH for more upcoming events and event recaps.  Happy Hanukah! [/note] After a weekend of being sick I found myself at the Beth Shalom Preschool & Synagogue’s Hanukkah day one celebration, despite only having a periphery involvement with the organization. I, for one, didn’t even know what latkes were. (they’re delicious potato pancakes) But what I found was much more than a hilarious food-based pun: it was a community celebration steeped in tradition. Beth Shalom Preschool & Synagogue… Read the rest

February 9, 2012 Lindsay

The folks at the Big Burrito restaurant group are good at special events – check out their latest newsletter for a run down of all of their restaurants – reservations are suggested.  ( I just looked at OpenTable for Tue. Feb 14 – there are a few seating left for early – before 5pm or late – after 9:30pm at Soba, Casbah, Umi.)

Cookies and Cards Reception for the CHS Holiday Gift Card Drive

November 28, 2011 Lindsay

Pittsburgh Holiday YouTube Fun

December 29, 2009 Lindsay

Image by richeditor via Flickr I am sorry I didn’t get to post this before Christmas but the Eat N  Park star commercial is a classic – so we can still enjoy it after Christmas too. (I love that EatNPark continues to air this commercial each holiday season – read more about the commercial and lots of other smiley things on the EatNPark Blog here). And here is another holiday video that is sure to bring some joy (and I believe it was filmed here in Pittsburgh too!) what is sure to become a new holiday classic – Let the… Read the rest

Best Holiday Commercial EVER!

December 20, 2007 Lindsay

Of course it is from Pittsburgh! According to the YouTube comments this commercial has been running since 1982. I was thinking that I had not seen this commercial on TV yet this holiday season. A quick search of YouTube solved that. Eat N’Park’s Public Relations has even put together a schedule of when the commercial will air if you want to watch it on real TV.… Read the rest
