I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but beards seem to travel in packs. Or at least congregate in the same places. Pittsburgh seems to be a big city for beards in general. Maybe it's all the cold weather? The rain? The proximity to mountains? Or maybe it's just that I've only become attuned to the presence of a fine beard since moving to Pittsburgh. Whatever the reason, I've noticed that there are definitely certain places where you are sure to encounter a nice selection of beards. Therefore, I've decided to start compiling a list of the best locations to discover beards around the city. If you go to one of these places, I can't promise you will spot a beard that suits you, but you will most assuredly find a beard or two.
Hemingways Cafe
The Library (the bar, not the place of study)
OTB
REI
Trader Joes (It might actually be part of the uniform)
The Cathedral of Learning
William Penn Tavern
The 71A (we've already blogged about it twice)
Schenley park
On a bike
Any bar when a hockey game is on
That's all I've got for now, suggestions for additions are highly encouraged.
