A Doggone Good Day With Beer

On one of the first warm days after what has been never-ending and cold winter, we got to go outside and take our dog to the dog park (in our case, the Highland Park Dog Run). And thank goodness we got to go out; our little dog has been chomping at the bit after being limited to short walks. The dog park was super muddy, which made it even more fun!

Our night at Pennsylvania Beer Alliance’s PGH Beer Blogger Dinner

We love beer, and so we were happy to have been invited to the PGH Beer Blogger Dinner last Wednesday on December 6th.

Just a heads up that East End Brewing also has a location in the Strip District, the East End Brewing Taproom, so make… Read the rest

You Can Now Legally Drink at the Speakeasy in the William Penn

But I am amazed how many people don’t know that the new(ish) bar in the basement of the William Penn Hotel which is named Speakeasy, really was a speakeasy back in the day. I love old hotels. I love visiting old hotels. I love the book “Eloise,” which is about a girl who grew up in the Plaza hotel in New York city. I love the stories about the New Yorkers who lived in the Plaza hotel for years. (Check… Read the rest

April 25 is Gobblerito Pumpking Day at MadMex

UPDATE: Looking for details on the 2019 Gobblerito Day? Head over to Very Local for an update to this post. Yes, Pittsburgh, for one day only, you can celebrate Thanksgiving in April. The Gobblerito is the much loved thanksgiving-dinner-in-a-burrito that MadMex offers each fall. But according to the most recent newsletter from Big Burrito (the parent company of MadMex), Tuesday, April 25, 2017 is Gobblerito Pumpking Day. It’s Thanksgiving in April as The Gobblerito comes out of hibernation for just one mad Tuesday, and brings along the last of our Southern Tier Pumking stash.
