Happy St. Patrick’s Day from BurghLife! Hope yinz are recovering from all your green-themed shenanigans yesterday. Cubie Life might be just the hangover cure you need, so check aht their “St. Pat’s Attack” comic below…
We’re proud to announce that we’ve joined forces with Cubie Life (created right here in the ‘Burgh!) to bring you some funny sh*t!

Beginning on Ash Wednesday and continuing from the following Friday every Friday until Easter you can find great fresh fish and other seafood at fish fries held in Catholic churches, fire halls and community buildings all over the greater Pittsburgh area. Fried fish sandwiches are the primary mainstay of these popular Lenten fish fries, but you’ll also generally find other seafood and non-meat items such as pierogies, shrimp, clam chowder, crab cakes, haluski, coleslaw and macaroni and cheese. Try a different fish fry each Friday!
The best place to start when searching for a new fish fry to try is the annual Parish Fish Fry Guide published in the Pittsburgh Catholic. This popular guide provides details on Lenten fish fries hosted by nearly 100 parishes in Allegheny and surrounding counties of Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Another great resource is this free map of Pittsburgh Lenten Fish Fries created by Hollen Barmer.
Fish fries in Pittsburgh aren’t limited to Catholic churches. Many other churches offer fish dinners this time of year, as do some volunteer fire departments, area restaurants and community organizations. In Collier Township, for example, the Presto Volunteer Fire Department hosts several Friday Fish Fries for eat in or take out. CNH Javor Hall, located at the corner of East and Foreland Streets on Pittsburgh’s North Side, will be selling fish and shrimp dinners every Friday during Lent. Check WPXI’s Fish Fry Guide and KDKA Fish Fry Guide 2012 for additional listings.
If you don’t want to limit yourself to Fridays, then Pittsburgh restaurants with a good fish sandwich include the Original Oyster House in Market Square downtown, Benkovitz Seafood and Wholey’s in the Strip District, and McGinnis Sisters locations in Monroeville and the South Hills.
A wise, pArTy-cRaZy man once said, “To experience an epic bar crawl once in your life is lucky, but twice…NIRVANA.” Ya know what, Mahatma Gandhi — you were right, and BurghLife’s 2nd Annual SnowCrawl Bar Tour proves it! GO RIGHT TO THE EVENT PICS>>>
We had at least 200 people join our 1/26/13 event, and in keeping with tradition, SnowCrawl v.2 really was epic. From the South Side’s four best bars (you heard it here first) hosting us — Carson City Saloon, Local Bar + Kitchen, Casey’s Draft House, and Levelz Sports Lounge — to the games, specials, prizes, and everybody’s favorite lush-of-a-snowman, BrrghMan the Snowdude, the 2013 SnowCrawl really was a blast-and-a-half. Thanks to our bar sponsors as well as Tony Savatt, Inc./Iron City Brewing — BurghLife appreciates the support! We’ve also heard some excellent feedback on how to make future crawls even better, and believe you me, we’ll be incorporating alllllllll of that tender lovin’ goodness into our special BurghLife Bar Crawl recipe. (If you attended but haven’t completed our survey yet, please do — CLICK HERE FOR THE SURVEY. We’re giving away a free T-shirt to one lucky survey participant!)
But the main point of this post is this: YOU. HAVE. TO. SEE. HOW. AWESOME. OUR. EVENT. PICS. TURNED. OUT. Seriously — go there now. NOWWWWWW. CLICK HERE for our events page/pics. Full credit goes to the guy with the camera (obviously, duh)….BL event photographer extraordinaire Scott Nicklos. Thanks, Scott – sick job, as always!
And stay tuned to www.BurghLife.com, www.facebook.com/BurghLife, and www.twitter.com/BurghLife for much more to come!
We found a post on buzzfeed that Summer Anne Burton put together and just to “borrow” and share with yinz guys.
Not only did McCutchen finish last season with a .327 batting average (the second best in the National League) and 194 hits (the most in the NL). He also had 31 home runs, 96 RBIs, and 20 stolen bases. BUT… what is even more impressive is the fact that he is one of the most CHILL dudes in baseball. Just look at some of his instagram pictures.
Crosby accompanied a friend who plays in a league at the Dek Star rink in Pittsburgh, but his goalie gear disguised his identity. Crosby played the entire game in goal (and held a shutout, though he never faced a shot), and the other team had no clue who the replacement goalie was. Eventually, the referee recognized Crosby in goal and all hell broke lose. OK… not really, but it sounded cool.
