Restaurants
Pittsburgh is food lover's dream. There are fantastic restaurants all over the city, and more and more opening every day. If you're looking for a great place to eat, start with Pittsburgh Magazine's Best of the 'Burgh lists. Of course, you'll never be able to tell anyone that you actually lived in Pittsburgh if you haven't eaten at Primanti Bros. at least once. For a truly unique and delicious dining experience, eat at the Carnegie Mellon-affiliated Conflict Kitchen. Be sure to read about their history and mission before you visit.
