Super Bowl Sunday: Find a Snack, Stump Your Friends in Cranberry

Yeah, yeah, we know — no black and gold in the Dome this year. So amuse yourself instead by finding good stuff to nosh on in the Cranberry area and stumping your friends between big plays.

 

So the Pittsburgh Steelers are staying home.

So you're sick of hearing about those Harbaugh brothers.

So you're cold, you're tired of being cold and you don't feel like doing much that involves venturing out in the cold.

Still, that big game scheduled for Sunday IS the Super Bowl, after all, and it's being played in one of the coolest U.S. cities.

Should you find yourself getting into the mood to at least watch the contest between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, you're going to need some refreshments.

Patch brings you some suggestions for spots around town that offer a great atmosphere to watch the game. If we missed one, don't forget to leave it in the comment section below. 

And courtesy of the U.S. Census Bureau, we bring you some trivia facts about the Super Bowl and the cities involved so you can stump your family and friends in between those snazzy new commercials.
