Pittsburgh, PA

Generic food suggestion is Primanti Bros. sandwich(OMG fries on a sandwich!), but I'd say skip that and hit Church Brew Works for a beer and some pierogies. Pretty cool joint, converted church in to a brewery/restaurant. Or do both.

Then hit Homewood(neighborhood) for cheap heroin before making a stop in East Liberty for a 3 toothed hooker who will do anything for that stamp bag.

Tuco, go have a good weekend.

I live here, want to go out for dinner? Fat Heads is pretty baller, like Grimm said; I'd avoid Primanti Bros. It's like a "Pittsburgh Staple" but isn't that good. If you're looking for a good bar The Smiling Moose is nice. There was this pretty good Irish chain that a friend and I went to a couple months back, I forget the name now but it was right next to the Southsides works and the Cheesecake Factory.

Wait you're on VACATION in Pittsburgh, wtf man.

I hate to say this, but I bet Pittsburgh isn't all that bad.

Well I guess living here kind of takes the allure of the town away as I see it as a complete shit hole filled with nothing but yinzing stillers, depends, and bucco fans.

There's basically two go to burger places that I have to suggest to everyone that visits here, the first I already mentioned. Fat Heads and the second is Burgatory. Both damn amazing places. I asked some friends if they want to go out Saturday afternoon and get some food, if we end up going you should meet up.

Yinz'er here. Make sure you hit up either Pamela's or Deluca's for breakfast before leaving. Both have locations in "The Strip District" area of Pittsburgh. I personally recommend Deluca's.

You're probably talking about The Claddagh. The wife & I used to love to go there, but we've been disappointed with our last few visits. If you're interested in German food & beer, the Hofbr?uhaus (albeit not exclusive to Pittsburgh) is always good. I recommend it because I think it's a fairly exclusive chain (i.e. not it too many other cities). It too is in the South Side Works. Aside from that, Carson Street in the South Side and Station Square is where most of the nightlife is during the weekends. I imagine school is out for the holidays for the dozens of colleges in the city, so it's probably more quiet than usual. The Cathedral of Learning, the Inclines, the Point, and the many museums in the city are the other points of interest.

Overall, part of Pittsburgh's allure is in the many unique neighborhoods that encompass it - the South Side, the North Side, Shadyside, Oakland, Squirrel Hill, Bloomfield, etc. Each has its own appealing & unappealing qualities...

The pretzel and bier cheese from Hofbrauhaus has magical properties.

It's constantly on those Best Cities to Live lists. Sutekh only sees the yinzers but it's filled with hipsters and nerds now as well. Weird mix. You can walk out of a sports bar full of yinzer rednecks and walk next door to an overpriced hipster craft beer only bar filled with scarved dudes in skinny jeans.

Also it's got more bars per 100,000 residents than any other city in America. And the 2nd most pizza places.

Burgatory is tasty as hell, but I'm a fan of any place that sells those boozy milkshakes. BRGR Bar in Shadyside wasn't bad either the one time I've been, basically the exact same type of place as Burgatory.

edit: Stack'd is another burger bar, only been once for darts and I got pretty drunk but I seem to remember enjoying it. $6 Yuengling pitchers.
