March is both the month of March Madness and National Noodle Month! So we thought, why not celebrate both with some slurpin’ fun? That’s why we’ve joined forces with The Food Tasters to create the PGH March Madness Noodle Challenge!

While it's possible to never, ever venture beyond the neighborhoods of Squirrel Hill and Bloomfield for your noodle fix, there are so many more noodle restaurants spread across the 'burgh. Here are just 31 of the many Pittsburgh restaurants that make soup-er delicious noodles.

May the month of March be filled with unpho-getabble pastabilities!

But this isn’t just about destruction — it’s about rhythm. The pace of slice master is hypnotic. You start to feel the beat of the game, syncing your movements with its flow

What a fantastic idea for National Noodle Month! I'm already planning my noodle bracket. This challenge will definitely keep my brain active trying to hit all 31 spots. Maybe I should take a Mental Age Test afterward to see if all that strategic eating made me wiser!
