Incline is cool. Group shoot is even better. The strip district would be an interesting thing to do Saturday morning, but I'd rather go to Reading Terminal Market or the Italian Market of 10 years ago. South Side is where all the bars are, not bad if your into that thing. Some of the museums are worth it. Carnegie Science Center is like a mini Franklin Institute with a real Navy submarine attached.

Yeah ... I never got the Primanti's thing, either. Even if you are one who likes his fries and slaw in the same bun as the sandwich meat, flavor counts! There are so many terrific foods around here, why eat what looks like somebody threw out?

As for the sub, it is very interesting, and the volunteers who man it know a LOT about the subject. If you have never been in a sub, it's worth taking an hour to walk through.

thanks for the suggestions. we have cheesecake factories out here in SE PA so I'll be skipped that.

Like wings ?

I could stand for Quaker Steak and Lube on Friday

One in Cranberry, and one on Rt 51 (the original I belive)

I'm fat..I like just about anything!

that being said, I think I'll be busy all day on Friday doing some stuff with lycanthrope. I can mention to him that you might be up for Quaker Steak on Friday and let you know.

The original is in Sharon.

I personally think that QS&L is kinda a chain now and not as good as it once was. Same thing happened to Primanti's. Primanti's is still the local flavor though. If you want awesome wings(or food in general), Fat Heads in South Side can't be beat.

I think Quaker Steak is still good, perhaps the stigma is different, but it is not like they started baking the wings and using a different sauce. Great place, but Fat Heads is worth checking out.

Quaker Steak is a little overrated, but a cool place nonetheless. My favorite wings in this area come from Big Shot Bobs House of Wings, they are in Coraopolis, but I think they have another location somewhere else. I think my favorite place to go to drink in Pittsburgh is the Hofbräuhaus in Southside. Awesome beer, and an all around good time.
