The Pittsburgh trip

[diabeticman]

I should have posted this earlier I just didn't think anyone would be all that interested.


My wife has been picked. 18 months to learn more about Pittsburgh than my wife and I ever wanted. Pittsburgh is a nice place to visit for a game or event but to go there once a month for 1-3 days is just annoying as hell.

I went to visit family south of pittsburgh after dropping off my wife and I went back to Pittsburgh later in the afternoon. I ended up parking by the Greyhound station and I did find a place that made a chicken sandwich I want to have again. I'm terrible at remembering names but it was a french place I think.


So any suggestions of places I should try or anything you'd like to suggest just let me know.

1. There's a nice brewery there...

it's in an old church. I guess just google it... that's what I'd have to do to tell you the name. I was only in Pittsburgh once, but that was the best place we went.

2. I've heard about that place. I've been thinking about doing there.

I also want to try the

-Cheescake Factory

and

- Pirmanti Brothers

any other suggestions?

The court house won't pay for a hotel room but I will because it is probably easier for us in the long run.

8. The Pittsburgh Trip

I saw your note about your upcoming trip to Pittsburgh. There are some great places to eat in downtown Pittsburgh. I love Diamond Market and and almost all of the restaurants in Market Square. On Thursday and Friday there is a ton of activity in the Square. Hopefully, if you have an experience there, it will change your mind and you will think it is worth the trip. Regarding parking, there's a web site you can go to to tell you where to park and in real time it will tell you how many spaces are left in that lot. http://www.downtownpittsburgh.com/getting-around/parking This web site tells you a lot about what is going on as well.

Also, try going on www.visitpittsburgh.com to learn what is going on in the City. You can also call Nancy Reynolds 412-281-7711 ext. 5520.
