Visiting Pittsburgh would be the last thing I’d want to do...I am really honest....the last thing I’d want to do. Giving myself a root-canal would rank higher than visiting Pittsburgh. Why not hit Lancaster County? Just not Pittsburgh.
There is an Andy Warhol museum. You could also tale a side trip to the Frank Lloyd Wright house Falling Water.
Pittsburg is actually not bad. the rivers and hills are stunning of themselves.
Go to the Phipps Conservatory it is one of the most impressive such facilities in the world, and the park surrounding it is beautiful as well.
Well, I’m from Toronto and Pittsburgh is just a few hours away. I seen Buffalo (yeah, it’s OK), I will not set foot in Montreal or Detroit, Cleveland - maybe next year, and New York and Philly - been there, done that. I’ve never been to Pittsburgh and it looks nice based on its Wikipedia profile.
Seriously?
I’m taking my Wife to the mountains of Colorado.
Watch out for the pirates.
“Watch out for the pirates”
And the stealers.
Also, my Canadian dollar stretches a lot further than it used to south of the border these days.
PNC Park where you can experience history as the Pirates extend their North American professional sports consecutive season losing-record steak in the finest baseball park in MLB, according to an extensive evaluation by ESPN.
Wikipedia would make Calcutta look nice. Skip the Pitts. Since you’re already in Canada, go to Quebec City for a couple of days when it gets warmer. Nice, small walking city.
If you still want to visit the US this time of year, keep driving past Pitts to Virginia or Kentucky.

You don't need StubHub; it's the Pirates. There are always plenty of seats available.
My son and I went there for a Steelers game back in the fall of ‘94. We spent the day at the zoo. Don’t know what it’s like now, but it was pretty decent then.
Agree, but it’s a lot easier for a tourist to pick a decent seat and know how much they’re going to pay.
For dining, I would recommend The Georgetown Inn, Mt. Washington. Good food, reasonable price, not too formal, great view!
No matter what these other clowns say, yins'll have a good time here in the 'Burgh!
