Re: Things to do in Pittsburgh...?
Primanti Brothers, and you must do the Dusquene Incline, it's a ride of a lifetime.
Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Re: Things to do in Pittsburgh...?
So at 24 I think I read you should def go out to Carson St if you are into that kind of stuff. Lots of good bars just make sure you end the night at Mike and Tony's for Gyro at the end of the night it's a hangover miracle cure. If you are more the intellectual sort I suggest Carnegie Museum a def must, one of my usual stops. Hofbrauhaus in South Side works is nice so is Cheesecake Factory and Mitchell's Fish if you like seafood. Incline is a must at NIGHT. Hard to suggest things with not knowing your interests. Zoo is ok I liked the Polar Bear setup. I would also go over by the stadiums for a little bit it is nice over there. DeLuca's in the strip has awesome breakfast. Lots of little places great for lunch on Carson St. I am sure I am missing a ton of stuff like I said hard to know without knowing your interest. Primantis is worth trying but with all this hype I am afraid you will be disappointed. Best on I had was at the Market Square location Pastrami.... My OP

Re: Things to do in Pittsburgh...?
yeah..I definitely DID NOT like primanti brother's when I was out a few years ago.
maybe I'm spoiled from the good sandwiches and hoagies from Philly...as someone else mentioned, I wouldn't recommend Pat's or Geno's because I personally think they're inferior to some other shops.
I'll check out some of the suggestions you guys recommended. I definitely don't club so that's out of the question..
historical things are cool to me, so keep those suggestions coming.

Then you should go see the Fort Pitt Museum and original blockhouse at the point. And I know it's been said but definitely stop in at the Grand Concourse either to eat or just to check out the architecture.

Re: Things to do in Pittsburgh...?
Agreed, from everything I hear there's no doubt it's worth it. But still, 40 minutes each way means I'm gone for 2.5 hours for an hour of shooting. Now I can be at ACRC in 10 minutes so an hour of shooting costs me an hour and 20 minutes tops. I can get out to shoot a lot more that way and usually on a Friday afternoon I'm all alone out there. Plus for what I do I can live with the limitations at ACRC.
Besides, this way Andrew can see two westie ranges if he wants to!

Re: Things to do in Pittsburgh...?
I still love Primanti's.
The Heinz History Center is very cool. http://www.heinzhistorycenter.org/
I am also a member of ACRC but have made it out for the last two group shoots at PMSC. Well worth the time.

Re: Things to do in Pittsburgh...?
I did the obligatory Primanti Bros visit one of the times I was out west, definitely different, cole slaw ON the sandwich, but I didn't think it was anything to write home about. Oh and if ya want a soft drink, ask for a pop, not a soda.
The group shoots are something you should check out, we're not talking about joining.
I've been to 3 of the group shoots, I'm from the western edge of Philadelphia, 4 and a half to 5 hour drive, the shoots are from 9 am to 1 pm, I had a blast at each one, again it's a once a month thing, more for the meeting of folks than the shooting, but hey if 40 minutes is too much .....
Andrew, do the incline and check out the view at night, GROPA and EM took Jean & me there one time we were out there, cool view.
