The building in Pittsburgh are so much more impressive than ours. It's amazing how much later that city developed and how much nicer it is. I guess they have the natural advtange of so much rock everywhere in the hills. Just about everything was brick or stone. And not just run of the mills square brick but complex, intricate patterns of brickwork.
I really think I could live there.

Chicha LimeñaCategory: drink
On Friday night we had dinner at AJs Burger & Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken
I had the rotisserie chicken with rice and sweet potato fries which was amazing.
The prices seemed good and they had something for everyone in the family from traditional pervuvian to Mexican and American bar food like burgers and mozzarella sticks.
They also had this really interesting blue corn drink called chicha limeña. Definitely worth checking out if you are down there.

Flux Pavillion - AE Stage PittsburghCategory: dancing
We went to see Flux Pavillion at the AE stage in Pittsburgh on Saturday. I thought that Wilkinson was playing which was the real reason I wanted to go. Sadly he couldn't make it to his American tour?
We stayed for a couple hours but I'm honestly just not a Flux Pavillion fan. The music just doesn't flow for me. Also, it was so weird going to a EDM concert instead of a rave. The DKs had sets then you just waited in between. I can't remember the last time I went to a EDM event where there were large periods of no music and lights on in between the sets. It was like a concert during intermission.
The visuals were nice at least.

Everyday NoodleCategory: food
We ate at an amazing dim sum and noodle restaurant called Everyday Noodle in Pittsburgh last night.
I love dim sum and they make everything there fresh. The kitchen is viewable with a big glass window across the entire dining room. I
It's really interesting to watch the dough being made.
The dining room was so crowded we had to wait a half hour for a table in a line that went out the front door. While waiting can be annoying, I think is usually a good indicator about a restaurants quality.
The tofu skin with woodear mushroom was delicious.
The soup dumplings were also amazing. They are basically steamed dumplings full of soup. I had the crab and pork and plain pork ones. we also had veggie dumplings that were really good but they didn't have soup inside.
Get in your car now and drive there.
