What's up Pittsburgh drivers?

I'll be attending training for my day job near Pittsburgh in June for a few weeks and need some ideas for things to do on the weekends in town. I figure nobody knows the city than those who "work the streets". Tell me where to go, what I must see and can't miss, and what I can skip.

Thanks all!

The Arts Festival is running June 1-10 if that's when you will be here; of course, Pirates game at the ballpark...the ballpark is one of the best in the country, even if the team that plays in it is not; the section of town known as southside is filled with pubs and decent restaurants; the strip district on a weekend is fun, lots of shops and food. At night, there are clubs and such but its a nice and fairly calm place to spend a weekend day. Give us an idea what your interests are (music, food, sports, museums, etc) and we can give you a better list.

All of this sounds great. I was thinking about a ballgame, I'm limited to weekends, but I see at least one home game while I'm there. I like music, food and drinking, but I'm 37, so no clubs...I'm more a bourbon and low lights type.

I would say visit the inclines that go up to Mt. Washington get a good look of the city at night. If you can afford to do a little trip outside the city hit up the nearest Big Shot Bobs if you like chicken wings the flavors galore are something to see. They also have one in the Southside on Carson St.

Alla famiglia On warrington ave is the best restaurant in Pittsburgh. Best Italian food probably on the whole east coast.

I've heard only good things, but damn is their food pricey. Make sure you catch some weekend surge before showing booking a table.

Stay away from Warrington Ave in Allentown. Pgh police moved Zone 3 HQ there for a reason.

seriously? It's a not so great neighborhood but your on main road. If your not looking for trouble there won't be any trouble.
