Neighborhood of Make Believe Tours at WQED November 7 & 8

I think this might be your last chance to check out the set of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood! I have seen some pieces of the set before but it would be pretty cool to see the whole thing at the WQED studio.

Links Worth a Look – September 16th

Here are some links/articles/blog posts that are worth a look:

Mattress Factory – A Museum of Contemporary Art: ARTIST SPOTLIGHT :: Damien Hirst – I wish I had seen his work when it was at the Mattress Factory – the fly one looks cool and kind of strange at the same time. My favorite art from the Mattress Factor was the dinner party one that was set up there a few years ago. If anyone has a link to that please share.
Strange Pennyslvania Pittsburgh Premiere! | Dave and Dave’s Excellent Blog – Dave and Dave have a new special about strange things in the great state of PA. I had a chance to chat with the Daves about this new special – I think there are going to be some great segments. Check out the premier on Sept. 25 at 8pm
WTAE turns 50 « BurghBoy Blogs – Happy 50th Birthday to WTAE!
find the time to rhyme – David Pohl is an illustrator, an educator, a DJ, a performance artist, an installation artist, a blogger, a gardener and oh, yeah, a drummer! This is his blog.

What is your favorite Restaraunt

WQED has a poll on their websites for the best restaurants in Pittsburgh. This is your chance to vote for what you think are the best restaraunts in town. Click here to cast your votes – you get to enter anything you want, no check boxes here. This is a great way to help support some of your favorite local businesses. I have no idea why they need categories for best chain – so I suggest you skip that one. This list is also missing a category for coffee shop – which I think is an important thing to recognize. Here are some of my answers:

AMERICAN: Cappy’s – I love the pretzel sticks
BARGAIN: The Pretzel Shop
CONTINENTAL: Does anyone actually still use this term?
DOWNTOWN LUNCH: Franktuary – Hot dogs, fancy potato chips, wifi, awesome.
MEXICAN: MadMex – because they celebrate important holidays like ground hog day and leap year.
MICROBREWERY: East End Brewing – while this is a brewery not a restaraunt, they definitly do amazing things with beer.
OUTDOOR DINING: Harris Grill – Definitely the best patio – letting you draw with chalk was an added bonus
POST-THEATER DINING: Palate – Pittsburgh is very lucky to have this place
PRE-THEATER DINING: Palate – trust me, its tasty
SPORTS BAR: The Sharp Edge – Sports with out being too crazy (and its smoke free!)
BEST OVERALL: The Union Project Cafe – I give this the best because this place is all around awesome – amazing food, wonderful people, great cause, great new chef.
