Best Place to Host an Adult Bowling Party

Legacy Lanes (formerly South Hills Bowl) in the South Hills area of Pittsburgh, PA is the nicest bowling alley around. I held my boyfriend's 25th birthday party there, and it was a night to remember! Legacy Lanes is unique in that they have something called "Boutique Bowling". The bar is in a completely separate room from the rest of the bowling alley, and in that room are 7 private bowling lanes, comfy couch seating, a full sports bar and restaturant, tvs, and additional plush seating. They have several options for reserving lanes in this room for a party or other event. The option I chose included 2 hours of bowling, a pizza for each lane, pitchers of softdrinks, and shoe rentals for one low rate per person. It was great! The only thing not included in the deal were alcoholic drinks, but no one had an issue with getting their own drinks from the bar. They offer pitchers of beer at a great price, too. If you're looking for something different to do on a Friday or Saturday night with some friends, I definitely suggest you check this place out!

For All You Pizza Lovers...

If you're looking for a place to sit down and enjoy great pizza with family or friends, go to Mellow Mushroom!!! You can order single slices or whole pizzas. Their single slices are HUGE...I recently ordered two slices and took one to go! They have an awesome selection of pizzas, from BBQ chicken, to mega veggie, to mighty meat lovers...it's almost impossible to leave unsatisfied. They also have DELICIOUS alcoholic drinks!! I recommend the Purple Haze. In addition to the food and drinks, the restaurant's atmosphere is very enjoyable. It has a funky, relaxing style that doesn't feel like a typical pizza parlor.

Pasta Too Makes This Italian Girl Happy

I'm Italian on my Dad's side.  If there's one thing Italy is known for, it's amazing food!  And Pasta Too Family Italian Restaurant in Bethel Park, PA knows great Italian food.  First off, the portions are just the way they should be... HUGE!  Every time I have ordered a chicken dish -- usually Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana or Chicken Romano -- it comes with 2-3 chicken breasts.  You definitely get a lot for your money.  Most entrees come with a "side" of pasta, too (hence the name).  This "side" fills up its own dinner plate.  Speaking of their pasta, anyone who knows me knows that my favorite thing in the world is Pasta Too's Penne alla Vodka.  YUM!!  Not only is the food delicious, but I have never waited long to be seated or to get my meal (relative to the crowd).

Red Robin... YUM!

I just recently ate at Red Robin for the first time, and then I ate there again a week later. The service was good, the food was great, and it is one of my new favorite places to eat. Everything they offer is made-to-order, so you can add or subtract from any menu item. The "Chicken Casprese Sandwich" and the "Bruschetta Chicken Sandwich" are both delicious. My only complaint is that they are piled so high that they are difficult to eat! With bottomless fries, or your choice of any other side, you can't go wrong. The "Ultimate Margarita" is pretty good. I wish they offered a "skinny" margarita option, though. All-in-all, I definitely recommend it!
