Hello, I'm working in Pittsburgh for the next three, maybe four months. What are the can't miss things to do and places to eat in the city? I always prefer to get recommendations from real people who live in the city I'm visiting.

Umami in Lawrenceville, Gaucho downtown, stroll through Randyland in Mexican War Streets/Northside, tacos at Las Palmas in Brookline, Maggie’s Farm for rum (it’s rum for people who don’t like yum-seriously delicious), get wings and IC Lights at Stinky’s during a Pens game, go to Bicycle Heaven in Manchester.

Spend a Saturday or Sunday morning in the strip district. Walk into Penn Mac and some other stores that have been there for over 100 years. There are no bad choices.

Get a beer and a sandwich at Primanti Brothers the next time there’s a Penguins game.

Il Pizzaiolo in Market Square (or really any of their locations) and if you're a sweets person I 1000% recommend La Gourmandine. can't go wrong with anything there, but their big raspberry macaron is *chef's kiss*

and for coffee, if you're in the North, don't miss Cafe Conmigo

Also...welcome to Pittsburgh!

I think bicycle heaven is temporarily (hopefully)closed due to flood damage. Check there FB. Also, if Duo's Taqueria is reopened after renovations, they have really good Mexican street style tacos. Like really good.

Try Dish (Italian) on 17th St on the Southside, serves until 10:30pm even during the week, a rarity in Pittsburgh. The food is great and the space is cool. Smaller. Make a reservation or sit at the bar. Brothers who own it are from Sicily.

Morcilla on Butler St in Lawrenceville is great for Spanish and tapas. Also has a good bar to sit at for dinner, and if you are flying solo some night.

Depends on what you like! Pittsburgh has so much. I myself love diners - and Bob’s Diner in Carnegie is fantastic.

Hi!!! Welcome to Pittsburgh ❤️❤️ you must do the strip district on a Saturday and Pamela’s for breakfast. We have so much to offer! Station Square has a ton of great places as well take a walk down market square and the point! Have an amazing time here

As it’s been getting colder I’ve been dabbling in soups. This is a brie and mushroom soup paired with balsamic onion & mushroom toast. It was super tasty and really hit the spot. It can also be used in place of cream of mushroom from a can in recipes if you’re looking for a different taste.
