Cornellians across the country know and love the cherished tradition of Zinck’s Night. What began on the Ithaca campus at Theodore Zinck’s pub, a classic student hangout, has carried forward into alum communities everywhere. It’s a celebration of friendship, connection, and the unmistakable Big Red spirit that ties us together no matter where we go.

This fall, the Cornell Club of Pittsburgh invites you to keep that tradition alive and join us for another Zinck’s Night in the Steel City. We’ll gather at The Forge—a craft-cocktail and Mediterranean small-plates lounge in Lawrenceville—to reconnect with old friends, meet fellow alums from across the years, and welcome new faces to the Pittsburgh Cornell community.

The Club will cover a selection of appetizers to enjoy throughout the evening. Drinks will be available for purchase from the bar. Come share stories of your time on the Hill, reminisce about the friends and memories in Ithaca, and make new connections with local alums.

Whether you graduated decades ago or just last spring, Zinck’s Night is a chance to celebrate what unites us all, the Cornell experience. We look forward to seeing you there and raising a glass together to Theodore Zinck!
