But in retrospect, it’s become a cult favorite remembered for helping launch the careers of both Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt.

Eleven Meats, Eight Cheeses and 13 Toppings Go Into One Massive Pennsylvania Sandwich

Eleven meats. Eight cheeses. Thirteen toppings. All of it lands on one hoagie roll in a small Pennsylvania town, and somehow it is supposed to hold together. I believe that sandwich deserves its own parking space. The shop behind it builds hoagies on Mancini’s bread, a name that carries real weight around Pittsburgh.

Review: Midnight Radio’s ‘Night of the Living Dead N’At’

Pittsburgh is known as the birthplace of the modern zombie movie and a top choice for Halloween movies. So it isn’t surprising that Bricolage Production Company chose to parody Night of the Living Dead, a classic horror film directed by George A. Romero and shot in and around Pittsburgh. Bricolage Production Company’s Night of the Living Dead N’At opened Midnight Radio’s fourteenth season in residency at City Theatre, and there is no shortage of zombies, raunchy humor, and Pittsburgh references. Night of the Living Dead N’At is a must-see treat (with a few tricks) for anyone who loves horror movies and enjoys the playful humor of a good parody.
