Week In Pittsburgh!

Hey VinceyG, and other ';Destination Experts';, have you considered posting a Top Ten sticky topic the we can name ';Top Ten Must-Do%26#39;s for Pittsburgh';.

That way we won%26#39;t get so many of the same questions over and over.

I would also suggest making a road trip to see Frank Lloyd Wright%26#39;s Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob.

Also go over to the North side and check out the Warhol museum and the Matress Factory (another cool museum, small-ish).

If you are a football/soccer fan looking to see the Premier League matches while you are in Pittsburgh head to Piper%26#39;s Pub on the South Side near Oakland. Most matches will be shown and the beer selection is excellent.

BK, that%26#39;s a good idea - I thought there was one actually.

Scouser, spend a Friday or Saturday night walking the South Side for a pub crawl.

Have an evening meal on Mt. Washington and enjoy the gorgeous views of the city at dusk/night.

Attend a Pirate game if they are in town.

Spend a Saturday morning wandering the Strip District (our market area).

If you%26#39;ll have a car available, get out of the city and head towards the airport area and walk the Wildflower Reserve at Raccoon Creek State Park or the trail up the the spring at the Frankfort Springs area of the park.

Thanks All

Certainly looks like we will be busy... just need to pack now - nothing like leaving things till the last minute...
