Any Pittsburgh Recs?

PNC Park is amazing
you’ll be blown away

only been to Pitt once but I was pleasantly surprised.
the food and drink is good and the people are cool

Meat and Potatoes is great. I also have enjoyed Sienna Mercato as well.

have fun
resist the instructions you will get to go to primantis
it’s ok but not anything to remember

Cool. I won't have a car, but have been told it's easy to get around there without one with light rail and Uber/Lyft. I'll need something to fill 2 1/2 days besides breweries and restaurants, and the Carnegie Mellon area looks like a good area to just stroll around and take in.

Anyone know anything about the Andy Warhol Museum?

very touristy, but you could take a ride up the duquesne incline for excellent views of the city and rivers.

Catch the incline up to Mount Washington and go eat at Alla Famiglia. One of the better meals I have had

Went to Pittsburgh for a baseball weekend last year. Game was at 7; Warhol museum was just blocks away and had reduced admission after 5 PM, so I hit that up before the game. It was pretty cool; maybe an hour or so to burn. I enjoyed learning about Warhol's background as well as seeing his art and how it evolved over time.

Other things-- definitely go up to Mt. Washington for an overlook view of the downtown; and definitely go down to Point State Park at the confluence of the Three Rivers.


When you go to Pitt and see the Cathedral of Learning, you can take the elevator and go up to a high-level public access floor for some great views. And right by there is the remnant of old Forbes Field, where the Pirates played before Three Rivers:


I enjoyed going to "The Hill" neighborhood and seeing the house used in the exterior of the movie "Fences", as well as some great views from a reservoir at the top of a mountain/big hill in Robert E. Williams Memorial Park (this IS a kind of shady neighborhood, though).

On my last day there, actually rented clubs and played a walking round of golf at Bob O'Connor Golf Course in Schenley Park in-town. Ridiculously cheap (like 20 bucks total); but I was NOT used to those hills and they nearly killed me.

Have fun!

This is the wall that Mazeroski hit the homer over to beat the Yankees in game 7 of the 1960 World Series. Fans gather there on the anniversary of the game every year to replay the broadcast. Did you see home plate ? It is still there in the bathroom of a building across the street (its original spot).

The Forbes Field wall was on my list of things to see. Looks like I'll be spending the good portion of a day in that area. Probably check out the Natural history museum.
