WHIRL Magazine’s Men In Business Networking Event Pittsburgh’s prominent businessmen gathered at Cioppino of Pittsburgh for a “Mad Men” style evening of networking as WHIRL Magazine hosted its first-ever Men in Business event. Attendees mingled in the bar lounge and savored Blue Diamond Vodka Gimlets, while enjoying an array of bites from Cioppino’s kitchen, including lamb sliders, fried risotto balls, antipasti, and pistachio cannoli. Thanks to the party’s sponsor, three lucky gentlemen went home with bottles of Blue Diamond Vodka! The spirit of Pittsburgh’s progress energized the evening as the dashingly dressed gentlemen toasted to camaraderie and discussed the city’s bright future with us. Andreas Beck, CEO of Beyond Spots and Dots, says, “Pittsburgh is filled with diverse businesses led by inspired creative entrepreneurs who follow their passions. With its ‘work hard, play hard’ mentality, every day seems to bring new opportunities and business challenges, while providing a perfect work-life balance.” Adam Bauer, director of digital marketing for Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, pointed to Pittsburgh’s status as an “up-and-coming city,” noting the growing economy and expanding housing market. And, Jacob Mains, owner and chef of The Farmer’s Table concurred. “Pittsburgh has a great, receptive audience to emerge with and grow with.” We’ll toast to that! — L.P.
