I came across some kids who had lashed a hand truck to a red wagon and were at the top of a steep hill discussing who would go first.

Yep, that's Slanted and Enchanted (the upcoming record store)

And for those who care, one of the new co-owners is a big game hunter and poses on his Instagram with the leopards, zebras, and hippos he has killed: https://instagram.com/grwillard

Well shit. Is there at least a window lol. It's getting a bit bright for my taste, but it's still pretty good!

Don't miss grabbing a sandwich at Primanti's - it's a Pittsburgh legend.

You along with probably everyone else in the department. Let’s see if the case moves forward and if there’s any accountability.

Your first priority should be bringing me cookies from Levain and noodles from Tasty Handpulled Noodles.
Then go to the science center.

Duh.
I never said it was just about tea.
False accusations.....False accusations.

And a reminder to everyone that any fast food employee caught doing the same thing would be fired immediately, and THEY don't carry weapons.

Check out Lawrenceville: Butler St from like 35th to 45th St. Lots of restaurants and such. Also take the Duquesne Incline up and down to/from Mt Washington (park at the bottom off West Carson St)

Granted under new ownership. It’s the same people that are opening a record store where MWFA used to be.

I wish there were a way to have an observer account, and I didn't need to confirm my name/address. It's a good method for determining which neighbors to avoid.

I think Point State Park is worth checking out. Cool view of the city, rivers, and fountain. I also think Mt Washington is a must. You can park at the bottom, basically across from the Point, and take the Duquesne Incline to the top. Then you can walk as far as you want to get some awesome views of the skyline. If you really want your exercise, you could even use that parking lot for the Incline to visit the Point too. Just have to cross the Fort Pitt Bridge via the sidewalk.
I also think the Strip District would be worth visiting. It’s busier on weekends, but it might still be lively on a weekday. Lots of food vendors, markets, shops, etc. and plenty of souvenir options.
Oakland and the University of Pittsburgh, if you have time. I’m biased but I think the Cathedral of Learning is an architectural masterpiece. You might not be able to do a tour of the nationality rooms because of classes - I’m not sure what the summer schedule is like - but you could still check out the ground floor and maybe even the view from the Honors College floor near the top. Nearby Schenley Park will be bustling with life too. The view of the city from the Overlook is gorgeous and really close to the sports fields, so I love the atmosphere there. Also in Schenley Park is Phipp’s Conservatory if Botanical Gardens are your thing.
There’s too much to do here to fit in 6 hours - basically any single one of our museums could fill that. I steered away from suggesting them in order to provide multiple points of interest that won’t take as long to check out. But if you’re into museums, we’ve got some good ones. My personal favorites are the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Heinz History Center.
Hopefully that provided at least a few ideas for ya! Hope you enjoy your visit!

Ignore all the virtue signaling here. Most folks are having cases of 20oz bottles of water delivered by Walmart by some twenty-something who already has a bad back.

Not really that complicated to make, especially if you buy the cake. Off the top of my head, though, I know the LeMont and Rib Room (located inside Meat and Potatoes) have baked alaska. Would avoid the LeMont, can't speak to Rib Room, but it looks very impressive (they set liquor on fire and pour it over the baked alaska tableside).

What a great, upstanding guy. Glad he got his job back after being a peeping Tom on the clock!

Yes, I'm pretty sure that possessing your keys while being in your car is a DUI.

Just get a filter for your tap, and cases of individual waters have been fine to buy for emergency use
