Dig in With Graver: It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood for Chipped Ham Pizza
Pittsburgh Magazine: On Oct. 3, “It’s a Beautiful Day to Be You: Inspired by Mister Rogers, Daniel Tiger & Donkey Hodie” debuts at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh on the North Side. It says goodbye on Jan. 3, 2027 and will visit other cities across the country.
Fries on pizza?? I can see fries in sandwiches. Hell I grew with California burritos, but pizza is a whole different deal. I was confused by this article at first. By the header it makes it sound like there’s pizza at the children’s Museum. I’m also really confused as to why the exhibit is open so limitedly. From the article, it seems like it’s only open twice a month before going to other cities. I’m also not sure if visiting a cemetery after a yinzer pizza is the most cheerful way to spend an afternoon in Pittsburgh. I wish I grew up watching Mr.Roger’s neighborhood. Everyone I’ve heard talk about growing up with it always speaks so fondly of it. I have seen a few episode of Daniel Tiger, which I believe is inspired by Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, but there’s something it’s missing. The animation can’t quite capture of the imagination of puppetry.
This article had a lot going on, and I don’t know if I’ve ever heard anyone suggest the children’s museum, pizza, and a walk around a cemetery as an ideal way to spend a day in Pittsburgh. However, I am excited to see Mr. Rogers’s legacy continued and for a new generation to experience his world of make believe. I’ve watched both Mr. Rogers and Daniel Tigers Neighborhood, Mr. Rogers was on on Sundays before church, and my younger brothers often watched Daniel Tiger. The message explained in both shows are both so important about being kind and that you are special. On the pizza side, I can’t say that a chipped ham pizza sounds very appetizing, especially if paired with a cemetery walk. Also, the photo of the writer's pizza might be one of the most Pittsburgh things I’ve seen. Even after living here all my life I don’t fully comprehend the need to put fries on literally everything.
