Define "stuck".

I'm there for business, and don't know anyone, or anything to do.

Well, Martlet.

Do you like the Bar Scene?

If you do, Head to the Southside...

Club Cafe has good music and good atmosphere, Fatheads on 18th and Carson has lots of beer imports and domestic Homebrews on tap. They've got a anwesome Menu too.

If you wanna see a Museum head to Oakland and stop by the Carnegie History You cant miss it if you go theyve got a huge Diplodicus Dinosaur out front. On the Northside (Across the River on 7th Street) is the Andy Warhol Museum.

I used to live there, If your staying Downtown, head by River City Inn (On the Corner of Market and Blvd of the Alllies) and talk to Harry the Bartender, hes cool and he can tell ya anything about the city hes written plenty of Pittsburgh Sports and Trivia books.

Another good bar is the Cigar bar and Mick Mcquires (both located in Market Square).

Cigar bar? Is that as the name implies?

Also, the Carnegie Science Center on the Northside, Is a fun place to go. Right next to it is the Sports Science place too.
Thier both more for Children but can be fun for older people too.

At the Sceince Center, they have a 50's era US Submarine, it was originally a WW2 boat. If you take 279 into the City and go through the Tunnels into the city you will see it on your left as you come out onto the Bridge.

And yes the Cigar Bar is what the name implies. Other fun places to go is the Strip District. Lots of Clubs and bars.

There's a good amusement park in Pittsburgh, but don't know if it would be open yet. It's called Kennywood, has a really great coaster.

Yeah thats outside of the city, I've never been there myself. It got by a Super cell Storm in 2002, Killed a few people. Then they had a collapse of a building within the park, and that killed a few in 2003.

I think it opens on Memorial Day.

There is nothing to do in Pittsburgh. Youre kinda fluffied.

Maybe go see a Penguins game? You can probably get a front row seat for $5.
