Dave & Dave visit not one, but two unique movie theaters totally unlike your area cineplex. They also board a boat, or is it a bus, or is it a duck? Whatever it is, it is a cool way to see Pittsburgh. Then they wrap things up with a tennis challenge. Men vs. women... or should we say Daves vs. two women pros? Yikes!

March 1
OnQ SUPER BOWL XL SPECIAL!
Dave & Dave (along with OnQ's Michael Bartley & Frank Caloiero) are bringing you an entire half-hour "OnQ Special" devoted to our trip to Detroit for Super Bowl XL.

So break out the Terrible Towels and share a special half hour with us as we show you what we saw at the most important Pittsburgh sports moment in the last 26 years!

They have a four-court indoor facility in Carnegie and their members include lots of champions! The Daves challenged the two "ringers" that are in the photo with us and they seem to still be smiling! I wonder why? Maybe because Frank set up a camera in the pit to get a shot. (the evidence is in the lower right photo!)
March 30
Zookeeper Michelle Farmerie, (pictured with Dave & Dave) introduces us to "Little G," a new baby orangutan who calls the Pittsburgh Zoo home.

Before Madden NFL 06 for your Xbox, or even before the Nerf football itself, there was electric football.

Definitely not a shot-and-a-beer joint or a college hangout, Cefalo's (owner Lenny Cefalo in the middle of the photo with Dave, Dave & the two lovely ladies) caters to an adult, upscale crowd in the mood for fun, music and fine dining.
