All good things must come to an end, and such is the case with the bartending career of Angelo Cammarata. At 95 years young, he's the world's oldest bartender, but he plans to finally throw in the bar towel some time in the next couple of weeks. As an interesting AP story points out, Cammarata served his first drink - a bottle of Fort Pitt beer - at his father's grocery store just moments after Prohibition was repealed in 1933. He's been slinging the sauce ever since and only rarely indulges in alcohol himself, one of those secrets to a long life that we'd rather not hear on a Saturday. ]]> Victor Ozols 2009-08-29T14:24:24-05:00 40.4412091 -79.985628 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/3/27/05210/4718

"Adventureland", written and directed by Greg Mottola, who also directed "Superbad", is a comedy about a recent college grad (Jesse Eisenberg) who gets a summer job at an amusement park working for two weirdo bosses (Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader. Then, just when his summer job seems hopeless, he falls for a co-worker ("Twilight’s" Kristen Stewart). "Adventureland" was filmed in and around Pittsburgh in the fall of 2007. Here’s your guide to adventure in Steel City.

What to Stay:
Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel, is located in the restored Fulton Building at 107 6th St and is, apparently, fit for a President. Though price may be a little high for Pittsburgh, about $199 a night, the Renaissance has a prime location near the city's theaters, Heinz Field, PNC Park, and Mellon Arena. ]]> cmb 2009-03-27T09:11:28-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/2/2/19566/16456

Pittsburgh is getting used to this winning thing. Now that the low-key rioting has settled down, the Iron City will honor the Super Bowl champion Steelers with a parade through downtown this afternoon.

The Steelers' second Super Bowl championship parade in four years will follow the usual route of the city's St. Patrick's Day parade, starting at noon near Mellon Arena, winding through Downtown and ending at Gateway Center. 250,000 fans braved the cold to cheer on the Steelers after they last took home the trophy in 2006, and a similar crowd is expected today.

Meanwhile 4,000 forgiving fans welcomed home the NFC champion Cardinals at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport yesterday, but Phoenix and Glendale officials said they won't be throwing a consolation parade for the Super Bowl runner-ups.

The Pittsburgh Steelers won their sixth Super Bowl title in a nail-biter late Sunday night, and the 20-degree weather didn't stop Pitt fans from filling their hometown streets all night.

The city's Oakland section, near the University of Pittsburgh, was ground zero for post-game revelry, where thousands flooded the streets, waving the yellow and gold and lighting what they could on fire. Police, who has barricaded several streets so that fans could celebrate without jumping on cars, reported no major incidents, just a few good-natured couch fires.

Down in Tampa, the Super Bowl itself went off with minimal bad behavior, as less than 30 fans were arrested, including two who tried to snatch someone else's tickets and sneak their way into the big game, and one particularly drunk driver who somehow managed to drive her way into a police horse.

Ah, the Super Bowl, gotta love a night that includes couch fires, driving into a horse, and dozens of arrests, but is considered surprisingly orderly.

At this point, it’s Friday and you’re watching the Super Bowl on TV--no Tampa for you. That’s okay, because we have the rundown on the best places to watch the game in Pittsburgh. Yesterday we revealed our picks in Arizona and warned you to get there early, but if you’re going to watch the game in the Steel City--reserve your barstool the day before. ]]> kjb 2009-01-30T09:19:49-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/4/18/115548/812

We were remiss when we dedicated the Democratic presidential primary on April 22 to the city of Philadelphia. How could we neglect the rest of the great state? So here's a Heinz-Warhol edition to warm the hearts of western Pennsylvania.

We recommend not bowling or hunting with anyone you meet at one of these hot spots:
