I'm stuck in Pittsburgh for the next ten days.
Help?
-
Define "stuck".
-
I'm there for business, and don't know anyone, or anything to do.

Run around in your Patriot's shirt telling people "steelers suk!":lol

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.
-
where are you staying martlet?
-
I'm not sure yet, I just found out today, and I fly out wednesday. I'll have my itinerary tomorrow, and I'll post it.
-
WooooHoooooo!
Holiday Inn, baby.

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.
-
Got stuck in Pittsburg for a night one time. I found that really good beer has no boundries.
Drink up:D
-
No one even has a sister there?
-
Whatever you do,don't go see a hockey game.
-
there is plenty to do downtown, like what was said before...avoid the hockey games!! if you go down the strip district (Penn Ave) go to Area 51 or BAR. as for the south side Marios has good food and Peg's Cafe is a cool place for beer and pool.

But if you do, bring your water bottle so you can squirt the players. They love to be squirted. They love it so much they'll climb right off the ice and come over to shake your hand and buy you a brat with onions.

BAR? Are you talking about Bar Southside?
I lived on the North Side and Lawrenceville, Hockey games are fun but baseball at PNC park is awesome! Its Cheap too.
My favorite thing to do after a long day in class was go to Milano's on 6th Street eat a Hot Pie and drink a couple of Pitchers of Iron with friends head to the Ball Park and Cuss the Pitcher until your voice craps out.
Pittsburgh is awesome, I would love to live there again although it wouldnt be where I mentioned above :eek:

I know, but when your a poor college student, you buy what you can afford. I happen to like it out of a Bottle. I'd drink it any day over Yuengling.
Hehehe I saw a few games at 3 rivers before they imploded it.
Hopefully Martlet won't be talking Pittsburghese when he returns.:D
-
Order an IC Light....not bad Beer.
Dunno why they tore Forbes Field down....greatest place I've ever been to see a baseball game.
PNC park is great...it's a throwback sort of Park.
Used to go to Pirates games when Clemente patroled right field.
Saw some of the National League greats there such as Mays, Kofax etc. in the early to mid 60s'
Downtown has lots to do......ask any Cab driver...they'll take you to the great spots.
