Go to Dannys pizza, get the famous Italian sandwich, thank me later.
There are 2 locations, both are the same recipe. |

Pitt is IMO one of the coolest cities in the US. I lived in Richmond too and hated it.

Pittsburgh Zoo PPG Aquarium is, IMO, better than the Seattle Aquarium. The Children's museum has 3 floors of fun including a water play area on the 3rd floor.
I hope someday I can do some adult-type activities in PGH without having to worry about diapers. |

Primanti's was OK in my opinion. Took my stepson there back in March. Didn't fill me up.

Pittsburgh is one of the few "big" cities that I would ever live in or near willingly. The choices of restaurants and the arts scene there is amazing for a city of its size.

Very cool city. Not the easiest to navigate by car, but I can think of few cities that offer as much as Pittsburgh.
The winters suck though. Lots of cold rain, not enough snow, and it's impossible to plow a city like Pitt because of the narrow streets and hills (I lived in N and Souf Oakland) |

The last time I was there was in the early 80s. Even the "nice parts" were filthy. Looked old and dark (soot maybe) like many rust belt cities/towns did at the time.
That said I suspect they have cleaned it up a good bit by now. |

Fort Pitt Museum for history of the area. George Washington was propelled to infamy because of what took place at nearby Jumonville Glen. He then got his arse whupped at nearby Fort Necessity. So, he came back with Braddock's Army and got whupped again by the French and their Indian allies.

George Washington pretty much started the Seven Years War between France and Britain with that shooting. That War debt was why the British were taxing so heavily in the 1760s and 1770s. |

I go to Pitt frequently, my favorite place is Lidia's of Pittsburgh, they have a 3 pasta sampler that is awesome. Having a beer at the Hofbrauhaus is pretty nice as well. The traffic in the Burg is purgatory, their construction timelines are measured in decades, not months.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just weird how it turns into a ghost town after 5pm. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Some parts do, some parts don't. Downtown is pretty quiet after the workday finished up especially in winter. In the summer there's stuff going on. Of course the Strip District, Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, the South Side never really get too quiet and are more active after dark for GOOD reasons (generally). The gentrification of some of the city has hurt the more eastern burbs with crime but it is what it is. |
