We drove over to Pittsburgh from Canton/Akron. If you're flying there on Southwest, United, or JetBlue, here's the website for the Pittsburgh airport (Website: [] ). Popular sites in Pittsburgh include the "Strip", which is along the Allegheny River just northeast of Downtown. This mile-long stretch is one of Pittsburgh's most popular spots for great food and nightlife. Along The Strip, industrial and warehouse spaces have been reclaimed to support a bustling marketplace and provide the perfect architectural setting for some of the city's trendiest nightclubs and restaurants. (Strip Website: []). On Saturday mornings, it bustles with sidewalk produce vendors, boutique grocers, and buskers. Club Cafe (Website: [] ) features touring music acts in an intimate atmosphere near South Side's lively nightlife strip (Southside Website: [] ). The South Side has many restaurant options to enjoy. Our choices include, for breakfast, Pamela's P & G Diner (Website: [] ). For lunch, go to the Primant Brothers Deli (Website: [] ), and for dinner try Kaya (Website: [] ), which is hip, trendy, and Caribbean. Or try one of Pittsburgh's numerous breweries. I've attached a link describing many of them (Breweries link: []). The Penn Brewery was our favorite. We liked the Penn Weizen the best. Another favorite was The Church Brew Works, which is in the former St. John the Baptist Catholic Church (Website: [] ). Other sites to visit include the Mt. Washington neighborhood with its views of the city (Website: [] ). Take the incline up in the afternoon/evening and then have dinner at the Cliffside Restaurant with its night views of the city (Restaurant information: [] ). I'm not much of a museum goer, but the Carnegie Museums of Art and History are great to visit (Websites: [] and []). Architecture buffs would love to visit Fallingwater (Website: [] ). This is Framk Lloyd Wright's masterpiece home bult over a waterfall. It's located 90 minutes southwest of downtown. Of course, Pittsburgh professional sports are worth watching. Whether it's the baseball Pirates, the hockey Penguins, or the football Steelers, their fans love their teams. We took in a Pirate game on our visit. The ballpark is beauitiful. Pittsburgh is a great city! Enjoy! ---
