Pittsburgh really flies under the radar when one thinks of great cities of America. A beautiful downtown, and you really can't beat the restaurant scene. Lots of museums and things kids would enjoy if you have a family. It is a very difficult city to drive in, but there's Lyft and Uber of course. It's also an intriguing matchup between two programs who have been down for awhile, have a pretty respectable past, and are hopefully on the upswing.

Was there several years ago on a business trip. Had one of the best times I have ever had on a trip. Great city.

There is also a really neat incline train that takes you to the top of a hill. It reminded me of Gatlinburg. From the top of the hill you get a fantastic view of Pittsburgh, Pirates baseball field and the Steelers football field. Also I used Priceline when I was in Pittsburgh and got a 5-star hotel room for less than $100 a night. It was one of those deals where they didn’t reveal the hotel name until you booked it.
