Going to Pittsburgh, PA next week for the U.S. Transplant Games in downtown Pittsburgh. Any restaurants, sights, museums etc. that we shouldn't miss out on? Thanks for your help. |

Rep Power: 50 | | DH and I love Primanti Brothers. There's a picture of their famous sandwich here : Primanti Brothers Restaurant - Pittsburgh's Most Famous Sandwiches
They put cole slaw (not the creamy kind) and french fries on the sandwich. Good prices too. |

Rep Power: 12 | | | Thanks. We will be there for 5 days. We'll be sure to check it out. We see a Pirates game on Friday night. I love Major League Baseball. This should be fun. |

You can get your Primanti Bros. sandwich at the ballpark too instead of going to their restaurant. Have fun!!

Rep Power: 50 | | Did you see that John McCain and his wife were just in Pittsburgh...and they ate at Primanti's?
Also....since you're going to PNC, I thought I'd add what my DSs always tell people. They say that in the men's room there are big windows in front of the urinals over looking the ball park....so you can pee and see. You'd never believe how many people believe them that that's how the park got it's name.  |

Rep Power: 12 | | Got back from Pittsburgh yesterday. The transplant games were awesome. We did go to Primani Bros. for sandwiches. I've never had a sandwich with french fries on it! That was cool. The strip district had great shops. The Duquesne incline was beautiful. The only hard part was trying to find our way around the streets in the city. Lots of construction.
The ball park was wonderful. The Pirates lost on Friday night but they won on Saturday. The fireworks were the best I have ever seen.
Thanks for all the tips and advice. You guys are great! | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
