A Pittsburgh Hot Spot

A thousand of us bloggers and writers have already written about Butcher and the Rye and I feel I should be no different since I stopped in for a nightcap last week. However, I was surprised to see one of my favorite bartender from Meat and Potatoes, Cecil, behind the bar. He just recently switched

Just a Quick Sip

One of the newest crazes in the city is rooftop bars. With the sun making it’s debut for what seems like the first time this summer I ventured out of the house down to Picklesburgh on the Rachel Carson Bridge. It was the perfect day to hang out around the city and see some new

Cinnamon Blueberry Muffins

Nothing is tastier to me this time of year than fresh berries.  I remember as a kid, helping my grandmother and great-grandmother pick fresh blueberries from Great Grandma Jones’ blueberry bushes.  Of course, it was a “one for the berry bucket, one for me” kind of thing.  But, it’s better to do that with fresh

Woah…This BINGO.

I have heard of it for a while now, seen the pictures, and heard the rumblings of hoots over “O69″…But this BINGO was OUTrageous. Once a month the Rodef Shalom Congregation in Oakland fills with people all to host a great night for charity filled with shouts of “BINGO” and cheers from the players when

‘Murica Summer Fashion

I am usually not the one to get on board with style things.  I practically live my life in jeans and t-shirts.  A lot of my rationale behind that is my size.  As a girl who’s been a size 16/18 for the better part of the last decade, finding something I actually like can be

Quick Bite: Proper Brick Oven and Taproom

On the last day of Pride and Three Rivers Arts Festival I found myself in that scary rain storm that cleared Downtown Pittsburgh in about 15 minutes. Steve and I had an umbrella and so the fear of a lightning strike is all we had to worry about so we continued on with our Downtown

Mookshi Wellness Center (Yoga)

Between my husband, and my sister, and a few friends, there has been a movement over the past decade or so for me to do yoga.  I’ve gone to the gym in the past, and done home workouts, but the idea of going to a class has never been high on my list of goals.

Nelly and TLC and New Kids, Oh My

We’ve all had a favorite band.  Actually, we’ve all had a few favorite bands over the years.  Musical groups form and break up.  Our musical preferences evolve and change.  As a young girl, I joined the multitude of other girls – ages ten to sixteen in my love of all things New Kids on the

Jenny Lewis-Opening Night of Three Rivers Arts Festival

On the opening night of the Three Rivers Arts Festival we were blessed with the lyrical stylings of Jenny Lewis. Child star gone rocker her voice is as strong as an ax and her ability to play the guitar stands above all. Her set list included old songs and songs off of her newest album “Lullaby”.
