This Sunday we'll do a Schenley Park run, starting at the famed Wendy Bennett Trailhead (where Hobart meets Greenfield Rd. at the foot of the Schenley Park Oval) to catch the end of the fall color extravaganza. There had been talk about visiting some Halloween inflatables, but really, how many times have we excitedly gone in pursuit of those absurd gigantic blown-up ghosts and witches, only to find crumpled up plastic on the ground in the early hours. Maybe we'll see one anyway on the way back to coffee hour.
Last week was the East End Penn Avenue Corridor restaurant discovery running tour, made calorie-free by taking place when not one of them was open. On the culinary trail were: Living Social, Paris 66, BRGR, Spoon, Plum, Notion, Union Pig & Chicken, Salt of the Earth, Verde, Quiet Storm, Avenue B, Dinette, a glimpse of Cafe Zinho, and that didn't get them all. Those of us who lived in the Burgh in the olden times never dreamed of this kind of gastronomic opulence. Virginia is planning a similar tour for us downtown, where evidently even more bistros, brasseries, trattorias, rathskellers, and cafés are popping up.
Coffee discussion ranged far afield, with the following endorsements:
- Prezi - move over, Powerpoint
- Coming Nov. 3: EQT Ten Miler - new Pittsburgh race event - who will represent?
