Any Pittsburgh CP'ers who can give some guidance?
 

I'm heading to Pittsburgh this weekend for the first time in my life to catch a Pirates game. Been a fan the same amount of time since I starting liking the Chiefs back in 1970 when I was a little kid. I want to knock this off my bucket list and coming to KC and Arrowhead is on the list for this year as well...

I'm driving into town on Sat around 10 am and leaving around 5-6 pm Sun after the game.

Any recommendations for a nice hotel near PNC park and a few sites to hit as well as a nice restaurant. I already know about Primanti Brothers

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.....

Its a great park.

I stayed at the Fairmont in downtown and walked across the Roberto Clemente Bridge right to the park. Its a half mile walk.

My advice is skip Primanti Brothers. Church Works Brewery is kinda cool, the food is just so so but the concept is a novelty.

When I visited Pittsburgh for a 2 night stay in 2009 I hit the following:

Pamela's - Awesome breakfast!

Primanti Bros - you know what you're getting. Good, not great - and now they even have locations in FL so it's not as unique.

Fat Head's Saloon - Awesome - headwiches - huge - Awesome!

Wings, Suds, & Spuds - overrated. Better wings in Tampa.

Actually, here's my write-up of the trip:

Please poop & pee on everything you can,while you are there. That is all.

If I ever go back to visit Pittsburgh near the top of my list is Pamela's for breakfast.

This...Pittsburgh sucks ass.

Can't go wrong with this idea.

Im here now at Pamelas

Great recommendation!

Good time to go. Looks like it finally might be thier time.

Awesome place I just discovered is Meat and Potatoes on Forbes just down from 6th in downtown. PNC is my favorite ballpark east of the Mississippi. If you don't have tickets try to get them in the PBC Level. Best value in sports.

Im going to meat and potatoes looks great thanks

BUCS WON 3-1

The French Toast at Pamela's is borderline heavenly.

Not that this as anything to do with it, but I saw Bill Cowher, his wife and one of his daughters there just after the season in 2003.
