Rolling Into Pittsburgh

[TheGov3304]

Hope to have a good crowd of orange in Pittsburgh, any forum members attending?

I'll be attending w/my 4 year old son (his first game). I have lived in the Pittsburgh area for a few years now but have never attended a game at the Pete (did see them in the NCAA tournament a few years ago in 2012)... Hoping to see a lot of Orange in the stands!

Awesome, I am also in the Pittsburgh area and will certainly be wearing my Orange. We have to get your son a win for his first game! Enjoy

one hour to latrobe

I'll be there, and I'll be sticking out like a sore thumb. I'll just leave it at that for now.

Love to hear this, gotta make more noise than the pathetic "zoo"

Let's just say, I'll be making the zoo a little less pathetic

I will check the zoo booing someone and you will appear? Lol

 

[TheGov3304]

I will be there with my sister, her husband, my girlfriend, and my sister's friend who went to SU.

My GF went to Indiana. If she doesn't willingly root for us, I will dump her and move in with OttoMets.

Indiana PA or Indiana-Indiana?

If Indiana PA, already beat this year...bragging rights

 

[SoBeCuse]

I might go. Anybody got tix? 2 hour drive for me.

 

[TheGov3304]

Hoosier town!

That victory over Oladipo and Zeller is still sweet

 

[OttoMets]

Scoopadelphia I know you'll be there dodging the local hooligans

 

[SoBeCuse]

I think so. Already planning my meals, of course. I need OttoMets, Mrs. OttoMets, and Teemu the Finn to show me around to all the best eateries.

My cousin lives there and I've been there probably 25 times the past five years or so for work projects as well. Love the 'Burgh. I can tell you where to go depending what you're into. Good foodie city.

The only correct answer is 376.

Meat and Potatoes is always a good choice. I haven't been into the city proper in two years, though, so I'm sure there's newer stuff out there.

Yup it is! There is this whole area called Lawrenceville which has blown up lately. Butler street. You take Penn Ave away from downtown and the Strip District (awesome of course) maybe 7-10 minutes to Butler St. Tons of stuff there including a grappa bar even.

Speaking of proper, Proper Brick Oven and Tap Room is always a good choice.

Lawrenceville is one of the hidden gems of Pittsburgh. Great bars and restaurants

That's right, I heard Cure is good. My wife (who went to Duquesne) has a couple friends in Lawrenceville. That's worth a look.

Nice. Yes it is good. Tender too. My cousin is a dentist in Shadyside. She tells me what's up and I have a bunch of CMU alum friends in the area there.

Yup. Probably my favorite area but I need to check out that brick oven pizza spot you mentioned. That is my fav style of pizza by far. I've been to Mercurios and a newer place in East Liberty. Of course have had Mineo's/Aiello's. The dummies think Pittsburgh is all about Primanti's and Pamela's.

Another place I recommend, and we could go all day...but Luke Wholey's Wild Alaskan Grille on Penn Avenue. If you are a seafood fan, of course.

Well how's your sister's friend look? could parlay this game into two dates.

This could potentially be 3 dates, right?
