Ryan's Guidebook
Food Scene
You simply cannot come to Pittsburgh without trying a Primanti's Sandwich. It started as a Truckers tradition with the whole meal on the sandwich so it was easy to eat on the go. The original location in the Strip District is open 24 hours a day and had a "if you are not ready go away" way about it. I've tried every sandwhich and liked them all. The Double egg and cheese is my favorite. They do have a Vegan/vegitarian option in the black bean sandwich.
There are other locations throughout the city that are bars and the suburbs that are more like resturaunts as well but they aren't open 24 hours a day. There is even one in Ft. Lauderdale for the Pittsburgh Expats.

Neighborhood
Every Saturday and Sunday morning, Smallman Street in the Strip District is lined with street vendors on both sides. It is a great place to buy local arts and crafts, sports memorabilia and food. Primanti's and Pamala's which are 2 local places where presidents and celebrities often dine while in town are also nearby.
Also, the Heinz History is an excellent place to learn about our local history. It has multiple floors covering subjects like our industrial history, the French and Indian war and local sports teams and individuals from the area.

The Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh is the home of the Universities and largest hospitals in town. The University of Pittsburgh, Carlow College, Chatham University, and one of the top technology schools in the country, Carnegie Mellon University which is named after famous locals, Andrew Carnegie and Andrew Mellon.
While there, you can visit the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. There is also a shrine to one of our great sports heros, Roberto Clemente. The right field wall where he roamed the outfield for the Pirates at old Forbes field still stands.
Also, Pitt's Cathedral of learning is the tallest educational building I'm the world. It has many classrooms that are set up as traditional classrooms from around the world. They are used for classes but can be visited when they are not occupied. There are also assorted Resturaunts such as local favorites Primanti's and Pamela's.

Aside from the beautiful views of the city, Mount Washington is its own little town. It has all of the amenities needed so that you really do not need to go to the city, but if you want to, it is just a few minutes away.
There is a Pharmacy, a Grocery Store, a Post Office and a Bank.
Bigham Tavern is a 5 minute walk and all of their food is delicous. They have great wings and Wednesday night is their Wing special. You can look it up on YouTube as it was on Travel Channels Food Paridise in an episode called " Cheat Day" . The chef is one of my best friends. It is a great place to watch a game or have some beers.
Shiloh Street which is a 5 minute walk in the opposite direction near the Monongahela Incline has tons of options. there is a Subway, a Diner, Packs and dogs for quick eats and beers by the bottle, a Wines and Spirits store (PA Liquor Store), the local Post Office, an Ice Cream shot, Red Beards which has excellent food and a couple of other little bars. Coughlin's law is an outside bar/resturaunt not far from Shiloh Street.
You will usually find me at a local place on Shiloh Street called Niko's Cafe especially on Tuesday nights for Taco night or Wednesdays for Perogie night. Get two large soft or hard tacos and a pitcher of domestic beer for less than $12+tip. it is one of the cheapest bars around but note, it is cash only and allows smoking. There is an ATM inside.
