How long you gonna' be in town?

Get my email addy from Madjack.

Go to the Carnegie Science Center - Free Parking (Directly across from Heinz Field).

Catch either movie at the Rangos Theatre (OmniMax Screen). Two showing currently:

1). Magnificent Desolation - Impressions and comments from the 12 astronauts who walked on the moon. (I saw this on Sunday).

2). Mystery Of The Nile

Before either movie, they show a 8 minute clip about Pittsburgh.

THIS VIDEO WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!

Price is $8. You will be there less than an hour. It will be $8 and 60 minutes very well spent. You'll be glad you made the effort.

Check out the Oyster House in Market Square. Oldest bar in the city. Prez Jimmy Carter ate there and said, "Too much fish for one man".

Primanti Brothers Sandwich in the Strip District,,,,,,,You'll never be the same!

Definitely eat at Primanti's Brothers for lunch one day if possible. I would also try to check out the stadiums, and even though you can't get in, it is nice to at least see the Pirates field as it is pretty neat. The new convention center is pretty cool to see as well because you can drive under a portion of it. Check out Station Square along the river (good restaurants and nice scenary) and from there make the trip up the Incline to Mount Washington for the view of Pittsburgh. Lastly, walk to the Point and check out where the three rivers meet. Good luck.

Ryson, we have traded e-mails in the past, if you still have mine drop me a note.

If your out for the evening then Station Square is the only place you need to be. Too much to choose from to list.

If you have big friends with you, or don't mind being shot at then head over to the Waterfront in Homestead, tons of stuff to do there, Station Square is safer. Seriously, The Waterfront is safe enough as long as you don't wander off into Homestead, if you do you will honestly be very sorry, very quickly.
