We drove 4 hours to Pittsburgh today. After those 10+ hour drives out west, this drive seemed like a walk in the park (there I go again, mixing my metaphors).
We had heard about Primanti Brothers sandwiches so we just had to try one (http://incline.pghfree.net/index.shtml). It was outstanding. Great bread, a healthy portion of meat and cheese (only provolone), cole slaw and french fries (either on the sandwich or on the side). I had my fries on the side, Nancy had them on the sandwich. If you're ever in Pittsburgh, it's worth a stop.
We had to do something historical while we were here. We decided to ride the Duquesne Incline (http://incline.pghfree.net/index.shtml). Lots of historical pictures and newspaper articles about Pittsburgh. There's a beautiful view of the Three Rivers area from the observation deck at the top of the incline. It's very cool. I wish Cincinnati would rebuild the Mt. Adams Incline!
Right next door to the incline observation deck is the Coal Hill Steakhouse (www.coalhillsteakhouse.com). We had a drinks and an appetizer (the Jalapeno Clam Dip) on the outdoor deck. The Clam Dip was very good ... the view was outstanding. I'd go back for dinner!
Padres and the Pirates tomorrow!
