Instead of Jake running all over Pittsburgh to find coffee, thought would help him out with a list of places to check out.
Kiva Han - named after the world’s first recorded coffee house, Kiva Han, reputedly opened in Constantinople (Istanbul)in 1471. Funky, quiet good for reading scripts, txts, etc, it does have a hangover burrito (do you know anyone who has hangovers and likes burritos?) and if you just can't stand it, Starbucks is right across the street the coffee ogres they are.
61c Cafe - Located in Squirrel Hill it was name on of the 100 great things about Pittsburgh in 2006. Let's be honest that's a tough thing to do for a coffee shop in a city where The Steeler, Penguins, Primanti Brothers, Pitt, Iron City Beer, Perogies, are dominate. Great coffee and inhouse baked good straight out the owner's grandmother's recipe box.
Beehive Coffee - Pinball and Coffee. You bet. Their decor is a funky mix, some retro, some modern, and all of it mismatched. The staff are unconventional, and friendly. Hmmm this reminds me of suspenders, tie bars, and shabby sweaters. They also have an Artomat. A reinvented vintage cigarette vending machine that now gives art instead. But word to the wise they have webcams, including a bathroom one, to see if you actually do wash your hands.
Quietstorm great coffee, brunch,music and its Pittsburgh's favorite vegetarian/vegan place again and again. And it has milkshakes. That reminds me of a hurricane and an actor who couldn't work the milkshake machine at a McDonalds. Wait back to coffee. And how can you not love a place that has an owl in it logo.
La Prima Espresso is one of the best espresso and cappuccinos in the Three Rivers located in The Strip District and all over the Pittsburgh area. traditional classic Italian coffee and sweets.La Prima roasts its own beans as well, and supplies coffee to many of the better Pittsburgh restaurants.
And the there Nicholas Coffee Company They've been roasting and selling gourmet coffee beans in Pittsburgh since 1919. Their Market Square landmark store is in downtown Pittsburgh has daily roasted coffee, and also offers teas from all over the world. And who wouldn't like the easy anagram of Nicholas.Speaking of the tea.
Te Cafe Pittsburgh's best for loose teas. Located in Squirrel Hill, it has over 100 varietals so there must be something that will substitute for the jones for Intelligentsia's King Crimson .
So you see there would be no need for all the those photos of you and blondes (legal or otherwise) trying out different coffee places. You and brunettes, bring it on. Annie, Josh, your other co-stars, .....big Southern stirrers with funky accessories...you get the idea.
I like coffee, I like tea...
[Sorry this is from last post. I commented but too late!]
ReplyDeleteLOL wouldn't the kids be happy to see Stepfather Jake when he meets them at the yogurt shop?! None of them come near him, going in or out. In fact one of them walking in, Jake is on one side in front of Deacon but Deacon is leaning away from Jake and crouched into his mom. "Stepfather Jake" uh huh, right.
they have webcams, including a bathroom one
ReplyDeleteJakey Jakey... go to Beehive's bathroom with a worker bee and get your horny on and your stinger out and let the honey flow so we can watch it on YouTube and see what the buzz is about, ok?
Interesting discussion about the yogurt pictures. Twisted you bring up some interesting points. Exactly about the two coffee and the 2 in the bag. And the two in the bag might not be coffees, but other drinks in cups. It does look like he met them there as scheduled appt. And family friendly vibe is so not there.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Ava really doesn't want to be there. And she is never photographed with Reese by herself anymore. I think she is not a fan being a photoop anymore.
And the thing that is interesting to me is she looks like she is wearing a uniform. It looks more after school meeting than Sat. spent together.
^sorry not coffee, yogurt cups. Have coffee on the brain. But who can eat all that yogurt Jake's carrying?
ReplyDeleteYogurt pictures are from Thursday, September 3.
ReplyDeleteThese coffee and tea places sound great, Spesh! :)
ReplyDeleteWith youon the analysis Special. Looks to me that it was a scheduled meet for pics that didn't really come off. Maybe Jake didn't realise that Reese was going to drag those poor children along, hence the not so happy family vibe.
ReplyDeleteSuppose now we now why these didn't form the basis of a cheesy, vomit inducing tabloid cover.
Enjoying the recent posts, can't believe you can come up with something new everyday.
Oh hell yeah that's a school uniform. Seriously, were the photos sold as being taken on a Saturday?! A big "oops" and "You're fired!" to the PR flunkie who mangled that minor detail.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised how Deacon stays away from Jake, moving away and holding hands with his mom. It's like he's not even Uncle Jake anymore. He's just a tall man that mom knows.
Poor Ava. The awkward years.
ReplyDeleteThe Flynet pics were dated for 9/3 a Thursday not a Saturday, where did you get spending a Saturday together? In one pic Deacon looks like he see's the paps. It was meant to be a afterschool op, otherwise they would have went home and had Ava change her clothes.
ReplyDeleteWasn't this the same day there was that Video of them at Mozza and the paps were yelling about weding dates or was that the night before?
For all that people think NY is a great place, there can be a real sameness to the food and coffee places, which this post illustrates. The Beehive sounds like a lot of fun (except for the cameras). I love pinball, and that is just not something you see too much of anymore, and certainly not in a coffee shop.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the photos later, but interesting observations about them. I wonder why the change in attitude again. And no wonder they didn't want them released, sounds like there was only one passable one in the bunch.
She's going to look back and wonder why she thought those kneesocks with the shoes together were awesome.
ReplyDeleteWasn't this the same day there was that Video of them at Mozza and the paps were yelling about weding dates
ReplyDeleteWhat vid is this? I gotta see it!
^^^ hollywoodtv video on youtube
ReplyDeleteOkay, I just went and looked even thought I should be doing other things. Ava really does not want to be there, Jake and Deacon are also not looking to happy either. Gotta say it, it is just wrong to do that to kids, especially for someone like Ava who is probably at that awkward age, realizes it, and probably doesn't want to be photographed.
ReplyDeleteeverytime I see pictures of Ava I cringe, you just remeber being that serious, slightly geeky girl with glasses that the nasty girls in school are just waiting to pic on. there's nothing that saddens me more about Reeke than the way Reese allows her kids to be pimped out, and how Jake seemingly goes along with it.
ReplyDelete61c, Beehive, Quietstorm, La Prima Espresso - I can't make up my mind, would have to try them all. ;)
ReplyDeleteAll I had seen on Flynet was that first pic and I thought wow, he's really walking far ahead of them.
ReplyDeleteNow I see these and it's painful to look at, isn't it? Jake looks awful. Reese even looks grim. Deacon is leaning way into her. And why is everyone leaving Ava in the dust?
I mean, when you look at it, that one pic Ava is still coming around the car still on the street and no one's hanging back to make sure she joins the group alright? Come on. She looks so alone in these pictures; I really feel for her.
I think her glasses are sweet. They remind me of my niece. My niece is only 9 and she got her glasses last year. LOL, my nephew is always flaunting the fact that he's the only one out of all of us who doesn't need any optical assitance yet.
Right, those kids look real comfortable with Jake. When are they going to stop trying to sell this outdated, old code dated stuff?
oops, didn't preview like I normally do, darnit.
ReplyDeleteassitance = assistance
serious, slightly geeky girl with glasses that the nasty girls in school are just waiting to pic on
ReplyDeleteBullying is great for kids. It builds character.
I just think its interesting that she is not seen with her mom by herself, which makes me think that biggest problem is between her and Reese and going out,because she knows why Reese does it. Sometimes I think Reese uses Jake coming as a way to get Ava to come.
ReplyDeletePinball and coffee works for me, but its not really the typical quiet "international coffee" moments
Pittsburgh is not going to be super refined like Jake might be used to, it's grittier, but there are pockets of some funky arty places. Think Austin would really like it.
IMO Jake had to go to PIT for the "lover/gf" role auditions but will be back in LA/Anaheim tonight.
ReplyDeleteit's grittier
ReplyDeleteJake, don't piss anyone off.
Spesh, you've missed your calling - besides being a writer, you could be an event planner. With a side trip to Fallingwater, Pittsburgh I would love. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, just for future reference for all parties involved as we enter this period of everyone filming:
ReplyDeleteMiles between:
Wilmington - Pittsburgh 531 mi.
Wilmington - Philadelphia 653 mi.
Philly - Pittsburgh 254 mi.
Advantage obviously to Reese/Jake.
It is funny how we don't ever get JJ posts on Reese/Ava shopping. At least not for awhile now. It's always Reese and Deacon. But Deacon has been at that age where he really has no say in anything, lol, and he's not going to be aware or care about any outside interferences.
Whereas Ava is at that age where she knows. She sees and she knows. Plus, if she's anything like her mama, I wouldn't be surprised if that little girl already has quite the mind of her own.
Good observation Travelocity. Filming doesn't start till 21st and I think he will be at D23 too. Maybe he was getting house set up too since he'll be there until Dec.
ReplyDeleteJake: 2 yogurts and spoons in hands. Bag has a shitload stack of napkins. No pics of Jake getting in Reese's car. Camry just like his parked nearby. No keys or car remote out. = someone was in Jake's car.
ReplyDelete*sees pics and wonders why he didn't get any yogurt. cries*
ReplyDeleteNo way in these pics does Reeke look like a couple much less a family.
ReplyDeleteNotice that Reese and Deacon are wearing the same thing they were for pictures of them shopping together? Wonder she picked up Ava afterwards.
ReplyDeletestack of napkins - someone has spent time with little kids
Back to Pitt travelogue coffee, Fallingwater, the Warhol Museum, the Incline, Heinz Stadium, PNC Park, The Dirty O, Shadyshide for shopping, The Strip, Polish Hill, and a trip to Pittsburgh's Little Italy. (where is the only place I've ever seen Mussolini t-shirts for sale)
^^Sounds like fun. :)
ReplyDeleteHi PG - thanks for asking. I'm still here, sometimes I go by another musical handle, like Heavenly Choir, but usually if you read a post by someone who talks about music so much they bore to tears, that would be me. ;)
Yes, Ronnie Spector did sing with Eddie Money (Take Me Home Tonight). I love "Be My Baby" as well. She's amazing. Pretty too. :)
Found the Whole Foods here, everything's gonna be ok.
ReplyDeleteYogurt pics: Reese is parked in a red striped no parking zone.

ReplyDeleteI'm awkward in Pittsburgh
Jake Gyllenhaal came through my checkout at Whole Foods. I thought I was going to vomit in my own hand. So, I made the dude who was bagging for me take the order by saying "I gotta go."
I've only every seen two movies he's been in. It's not like I am a giant fan or something.
Todays Lesson: Go to the Andy Warhol museum. Learn more about making celebrity into an everyday occurrence.
Reese too was in a hurry to finish photo op.
ReplyDeleteLOL, that guy must buy everything at Whole Foods.
ReplyDeleteMusic Luvah!!!! Oh, okay, I was talking to you this morning, then. :-) Cool.
And I was listening to "Baby I Love You" earlier today and I heard her do that "wooo ooo oooo" that she does on "Take Me Home Tonight". Classic.
I'm fixated on that song right now, can you tell.
Isn't it odd that these yogurt pics are on some Fashion Spot website? Whaaaa? Why is that? What an odd site to post these. I don't get that. Does anyone have any ideas and can explain this to me?
Yogurt pics are at IHJ. Poster on WFT said: "1 question: in Jake alone pic what's in the front crotch of his pants? A hardon, a newspaper/magazine/script stuffed down the front or what?"
ReplyDeleteDear Ted:
ReplyDeleteCan you give us an update on Baby Tile?
—Kitty
Dear Crybaby:
Just that I can't wait to read the kid's tell-all. Daddie Fearest, I assume it'll be called.
From the D23 expo - costume display from PoP, if you click on the picture you can see how much detail and hardware went into these costumes. The look heavy and hot for hanging out in the Moroccan desert.
ReplyDeleteD23 PoP Costume photos
Tomorrow will be the preview.
You can see the outfit a little better here:

Those are tight britches. ; )
There are pictures from shows/movies like Lost, Alice, Tron in this gallery as well.
All those belts LOL. Good thing Dastan didn't have to go thru metal detectors to get in the palace.
ReplyDeleteAll those accessories and none for me!

ReplyDeleteSpecial we know you wanted to call it Coffee Crawl or Tea Bagging.

ReplyDeleteI'm your accessory.
In crime.
heh
Coffee Crawl or Tea Trailing
ReplyDeleteSpecial we know you wanted to call it Coffee Crawl or Tea Bagging.
Damn it, you know me too well. ; )
I love this version of One More Cup of Coffee. I've seen them live, but never heard them do this one, and it's not on any of the cds I have (I don't think!).
ReplyDeleteWere those yogurt pics the ones that were labeled exclusive initially. They are too dour so I guess they didn't sell them after all. People never seem to smile around Reese, unless it is a posed smile. Agree, this is not a family, just a group who happen to be together.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting to see if Jake's accent is revealed at this Disney thing and whether it is his voice or a dubbed one.
Did anyone check out this week's Us Weekly?
ReplyDeleteI've been to Target but not gotten to do the ol' thumb through yet. The weekend will not be able to pass without a couple of check out counter scans, though, lol. I don't know about anyone else.
ReplyDeleteSex and the City 2 is on the cover this week it looks like. I've been seeing some mentions of SAC2 this week on the internet and that movie doesn't even come out until next year. I wonder if they're filming right now or something?
Good morning! It's Friday! woohoo! There's hardly a better workweek feeling, is there? I am so glad to be missing work this week. That place has been wearing me out mentally although I do miss the new cube mate. He's funny. Always makes it interesting and he's fun to work with. That's just invaluable in an office, you know?
This song today (well, I guess it was yesterday) is a hoot. How on earth do you find these things.
I forgot that today was 9/11 until I was just on cnn.com.
ReplyDeleteIt was 8 years ago today. Can you believe it's been 8 years?
I've been seeing some mentions of SAC2 this week on the internet and that movie doesn't even come out until next year.
ReplyDeleteSex and the City 2 comes out the same day as PoP.
There was nothing in this week's US but Abbie Cornish's movie opens a week from today so they may be planning a full scale Reeking to coincide with that. All good Reeking has pictures from a few different situations so the yogurt pictures may be held for that. Remember the France fireworks pictures and how they held onto them for the Jake Moves In story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Tabby!
ReplyDeleteI saw a poster for Abbie's movie this morning, she looked gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI went to walk at my park this morning and what a fantastic walk, what a great morning it was/is, lol.
ReplyDeleteThere's a roundabout next door where I live and I use that exit alot. They had small American flags circling the grass/fountain in the center and that sight put a big lump in my throat. It was beautiful.
Then while I was in the throes of my walk, I happened to catch a glimpse of something scurrying up the pathway ahead. I just figured it was a raccoon or possum and so I kept going. I get up to the top of that small hill and what did I see but this flock of little wild turkeys!!!!
I could not believe it! They were running and then they stopped for a moment and I hurried up & counted seven of them. Then I talked to them and they started running again! LOLLLL! Have you ever seen little wild turkeys running from behind? It's hilarious! They waddle!! Their little tails go back and forth and they look like they're dancing. It was just one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
And then, what happened? Pop! Out came an eighth one from the prairie grasses right in front of me and he went bee-bopping after them, just a' running as fast as his little legs would take him.
LOL! I felt so bad and I told them I wasn't going to hurt them. When I got up further, I could still see one of them in the grasses where they had veered off to.
They weren't males, I guess because they were all real slender.
I just was elated to have seen that. What a joy it is to come across God's creatures in their natural habitat like that. I felt like an intruder and now I am afraid I'm going to think of them at Thanksgiving time.
:(
That is so cool PG, I've never seen wild turkeys. It's over two months until Thanksgiving, so hopefully you'll have forgotten them.
ReplyDeleteHow bad am I that the first thing I thought of when you said turkeys was Austin. :-D Remember that Austin Nichols turkey that someone occassionally posted links to? I wonder whatever happened to him.
Q: What is a jake turkey?
ReplyDeleteA: A jake is an immature male.They look much like hens,but are slimmer. In the winter,young of the year stay with their mothers in large flocks,roaming the winter woods in search of food. Adult males form gobbler flocks,and stay to themselves until spring,when mating season begins.
WikiAnswers
lol. Wild Turkey.
ReplyDeleteWhat Austin Nichols turkey link are you referring to, Destiny? I don't remember that.
Hey, on a more serious note, Destiny, were you in NYC when the terrorist attacks happened? Do you ever talk about it? Have you ever noticed any respiratory issues if you were there when it happened? I was just really curious. That is so scary now to think that you might have been down there when it all happened.
I was also wondering if you passed any memorial events on your way into work this morning?
They have that Concert for New York City on dvd now; I've seen it at Barnes & Noble. I just loved the way that Macy Gray sang "With a Little Help From My Friends".
I also remember Melissa Etheridge having so many problems with her equipment and I think her microphone but that gal just kept plugging away. She was a real professional because so many other artists would've just gotten fed up.
I also remember how phenomenal The Who were during that concert. I'm not a Who fan but that performance of their's was outrageous, it was so fantastic.
No thanks on that springtime stuff. I'm happy gobbling and flocking with the males.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! An immature male is called a jake turkey, you're not fooling up there, Animals!
ReplyDeleteLOLLLLLLLL!!!
Oh man, that is classic. That is too good to be true.
They were. They were real slender and the one that I saw in the grasses had those colorful little dangly things around his mouth, I don't know what you call that stuff. The little gobbler, warbling things.
This is like Wild Kingdom. See? We all learned something today.
That is just awesome. So classic.
Thank you, Animals. That was great.
:)
No thanks on that springtime stuff.
ReplyDeleteSnicker. Jake, you're such an exclusive socializer.

The Turkey Lives
Have to laugh about the turkeys. This area once housed a large population of wild turkeys and every once in a while a large group of about 15 -17 will walk though our neighborhood. They are not very graceful and I've seen them "fly" over our roof to get to the back yard. They sort of hurl themselves over the roof.
ReplyDeletePost on AT re blind vices. I guess they are getting close to the archive they have been working on. It's photos of people who are vicers, including Jake of course, who is referred to as whipped. Ted also says "not only do we never make this naughty stuff up (ever)", so I guess that answers some allegations that have been thrown at him.

ReplyDeleteReunion tours?! Visiting the old country?! Going thru their 2nd childhood?! You gotta wonder, LOL.

Good job, Cantara. Truth but CYA with a story.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of how the charity lunch people at Nailed said the truth without really saying it.
Wow Ted going to town this week and now Cantara. Reeke will be getting married for sure.
Reeke will be getting married for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice for a while believing in you, Jake. Good luck, you'll need it.
Reminds me of how the charity lunch people at Nailed said the truth without really saying it.
ReplyDeleteTed and Liza? Please explain.
Reeke will be getting married for sure.
ReplyDeleteNah, never.
We know people will ask us the inevitable questions about his sexuality, and all we can say is that as you have read, we didn't ask about it, and never would. Both Ted and Lisa feel he is a people person, he seems comfortable around people, and if we were to guess, we'd say his capacity to love is probably endless, but neither of us knows anything, or can shed any further light on this topic, nor do we want to, he has his own life to live and we both hope he is happy no matter what he chooses to do.
ReplyDelete^^^ Thanks!
ReplyDeleteEverytime you think Cantara can´t get any lower she proves you wrong......
ReplyDeleteCantara has more balls than Jake, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteIMO don't shoot the messenger.
