While the official start remains 8 pm at Cafe 210, Primanti’s, Federal Taphouse, and Doggies, both the Cafe and Primanti’s will be hosting pre-Crawl parties starting at 6 pm.
When I started showing up for the Crawl a few minutes before the official start and discovered that there were dozens of people ahead of me, I knew that things had to change. So far the last 5-6 years, the Cafe and others have agreed to host pre-Crawls. If you’re sitting at home, itching to get started then just hurry down and join us. I guarantee you won’t be alone.
For the pre-Crawl, the Cafe has booked local band Livewire starting at 7:30 pm. I’m looking forward to catching their show.
If you’re looking for something substantial to line your stomach with before the Crawl, then I strongly suggest that you stop down at Primanti’s for their pre-Crawl and chow down one of their famed sandwiches.
