Description:

Shopping, restaurants—the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown await you in Mount Washington. So hop on an incline and head to the neighborhood that’s more than just a view.

The Big Mac Museum The Big Mac Museum
- From: NanceeD
-
Description:
The world's favorite monster burger was born about 40 miles south of Pittsburgh, in Uniontown, where franchisee Jim Delligatti introduced it as a menu item in August 1967. They decided to open their museum on the Big Mac's 40th anniversary in North Huntingdon, rather than at the birthplace, because this store gets more traffic.
This is a working McDonald's restaurant. The exhibits in the walnut display cases can be a little awkward, as you often have to lean over tables of other customers.
You will see a Big Mac toaster used from 1970 to 1997, a Big Mac Sauce Gun (it looks like a grease gun), and assorted business awards such as, "A Long And Tasteful Partnership: Coca-Cola and Big Mac."
For fans ingesting Big Macs since the early days, there's an Ascent of Packaging display tracing the evolution of the wrapper through its styrofoam container incarnations, to the recycled, ecologically sensitive burger boxes, and then back to paper wrappers. The Ingredient Mantra ("2 all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese…") is a wallpaper pattern in the dining room.
One case displays bobble-heads of the Delligatti management team, presided over by Chief Big Mac. A life-size bronze bust of Delligatti occupies a center table, with a Big Mac in his hand . Another table remembers Pittsburgh mayor Sophie Masloff, who declared September 25, 1992, to be "McDonald's Corporation Day," and renamed the city "Big Mac USA."
In an indoor corner of the "Playplace," stands a 14-foot-tall Big Mac The World's Largest Big Mac spotlit and set upon a large silver pedestal. But the windows around it are tinted so that you cannot see it from the highway, but you'll want to go inside anyway to enjoy the ambience, the gleeful children and the look on tired parents face from chasing the excited kids from place to place.

Description:
"Twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun." If you're old enough to remember that advertising jingle for McDonald's, then you know that the Big Mac, invented in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, is good enough to inspire a song to be written about it as well as to have a museum in its honor!

The Ingredient Mantra ("2 all beef patties, special sauce, pickles onions on a sesame seed bun") is a wallpaper pattern in the dining room.

Description:
If you are looking for an impressive restaurant to take visiting relatives that offers great views and fabulous food, head to the Grand Concourse Restaurant in Station Square, the former Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad Station. As you walk into the restaurant, look up at the ceiling at the beautiful architectural details, including stained glass windows. A stunning staircase leaves a grand impression and is a great spot to take a photo.
The Grand Concourse offers a world-class menu featuring top-of-the-catch seafood, steak and poultry specialties, homemade pastas and a spectacular wine list. This dining establishment has a soft ambiance that is cozy and romantic. The Sunday brunch is a sumptuous feast that will make you want to come back often.
The River Room offers the best views and is even better at night when all the city lights are shining. This is not a restaurant to go to if you are in a hurry. Plan to be there a while as you treat yourself to a variety of courses. And you definitely want to save room for dessert. The most famous dessert is the Smithfield Street Bridge, a yummy chocolate replica of the city's oldest bridge, which also runs right into Station Square. Get two forks so you can share it because there is a lot of skyline to devour and one person may not be able to polish off this rich concoction.
You will find out why they call it "Grand" Concourse because it truly is a grand place!

Hungry for pizza? Cravin a pepperoni pie with a little bit of grease and crust thick enough to sleep on? Then I suggest Pesaro's Pizza on Butler Street in Lawrenceville. You will not be disappointed. It is the best pizza in Lawrenceville. They also have a shop in Oakland.
I had friends in from out of state (WY) last week and they ordered Pesaro's pizza and were raving about how good it is. If you're not in the mood for pizza, Pesaro's also has great wings, gyros and more.
Pizza shops can be found everywhere but you've got to try Pesaro's. The cheese is thick with a shiny coating of oil on top and the crust, oh my God the crust......well let's just say you won't be able to speak once you take a bite because your taste buds will be in pizza heaven!
Ring up Pesaro's. Oh and you may want to put them on your speed dial and in your cell phone contacts while you're at it! Yum yum yummy!

Description:
The Strip District is one of my favorite places to go on a Saturday morning. It is bustling with activity and filled with wonderful aromas. You can pick up everything from fresh fish to cheese to biscotti to flowers. Everything you need for dinner with friends you'll find in the Strip.
There's also lots of little shops and stores to explore. You'll find gourmet chocolate, exotic spices, ethnic ingredients, coffee, books, sports memorabilia and more. There are restaurants all along the way where you can duck in and have a bite.
You won't find fresher produce anywhere and the prices are great and it all comes from local folks. So you can buy fresh and buy local.
The Strip District coms alive at night. You can dine, dance or just sit outside and enjoy a warm evening. The area is pretty compact so once you park you can walk along the Strip without having to drive from place to place.
There's something for everyone in the Strip. Find your favorite things and be a frequent visitor!
