One wedding was held in a cathedral with a reception at the Wydham Grand Hotel in Downtown Pittsburgh. The other wedding was at a small country church with the reception at the Springdale Veterans Hall. The difference between the two....food and beverages.
Honestly the food, beverages, and service and the Wyndam were awful. Nearly everyone complained about what was served and the fact that you couldn't get any kind of top-shelf liqueur. The only saving grace was the view of The Point from the room the next morning. In addition trying to park there was murder.
The experience at Springdale Veterans Hall was completely the opposite....great food, plenty of good liqueur, and top notch service. I have say that the hall itself is pretty darn cool to have a function in. I REALLY enjoyed all aspects of the reception there.
All things aside I wish both couples nothing but the best as they begin their life journeys together!!!!
On the other fronts that I'm prone to yammer on about on these pages:
Tried a great beer a few weeks back. Its called Dead Guy Ale. It's from Rogue Ales out of Oregon. Good stuff!!!! I had two with dinner and was good for the rest of the evening. Grab a six pack or two for Halloween!
I finished one of my two Chaos Daemon Princes for my WH40K Army. I'm really pretty pleased with it. The second one I'm doing as a custom piece. I plan to post some pics when I get them both done.
Went to dinner at Azon Wok this past week. Gone there many times and the food and service has always been great. Not this last time however. Food was really bad....and I mean REALLY BAD! Service was poor and the portions are WAY smaller than before. Don't know what happened there but I am in no hurry to go back.
If you're shopping at Pittsburgh Mills and want some Chinese Food you need to head over to TJ's. Wonderful buffet, awesome service, and everything comes at a great price. Love this place!!!!
Well the old Buccos were one and done again. The Pens are off to a rocky start. The Pitt Panthers look decent so far. The good old Steelers are plodding along and getting some wins even without Big Ben. Sports in da 'Burgh!
I'm out. Live long and Prosper!
