There is only one correct answer when it comes to "what is the best kind of ketchup"...especially in Pittsburgh. No need to be on the HUNT for any other...it's Heinz. Visit the Heinz Museum for everything Pittsburgh. We know that Pittsburgh is home to winning sports teams, but it also was home to the invention of the polio vaccine, the first heart transplant, the ferris wheel and gas stations, to name a few!
One of the bride and grooms favorite date places! For guests visiting from the DMV area, unfortunately there are no pandas.....but there are Polar Bears! Bride and Grooms favorite animals: Lions, clouded leopards, ocelots, giraffes, red pandas, pygmy hippos. We hope you find the zoo emu-sing.
The nationality rooms are a group of 31 classrooms in University of Pittsburgh's famous Cathedral of Learning. The rooms are designated as a Historical Landmark and for good reason, they are stunning! Each room is decorated & furnished to represent a specific nationality or ethnic group. Guests are welcome to walk around and explore or book a guided tour! Both the Bride and Groom had many classes in these rooms. Their favorites include: the Austrian, Armenian, Syria-Lebanon, Hungarian, Israel Heritage, Indian, and Chinese Nationality Room(s). Bonus points, if you want a conversation starter at the reception, call the Cathedral "Cathy" to any Pitt alumni who graduated before 1990 (like the Bride's parents) and see how it goes over...
We didn't make the mistake of inviting anyone from Philly, right? There is only one "correct" Pennsylvania city's sports team, and in case you needed a reminder, check out the iconic Heinz Field of the 6-time SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS: the Pittsburgh Steelers. (Note: Pittsburgh-ers do not recognize the recent "name change" - it will always be #HeinzFieldForever).
