🥒 Picklesburgh Gets A New Venue

More locals are relishing in Picklesburgh every year, so the festival is moving to the Boulevard of the Allies to accommodate the crowd — the street will be shut down for three city blocks between Stanwix and Smithfield streets, July 21-23. The 35-foot Heinz pickle balloon will fly over PPG Plaza.

💖 Adda Enters It’s Taylor Era

Taylor Swift fans can now find themed drinks at all Adda Coffee & Tea House, like an “Out of the Woods” dirty Chaga chai, “London Boy” iced London fog, and a “Lavender Haze” lavender chai tonic. Cheers before the show and all summer long!
