    Yes, we now know that Primanti Bros is pronounced Primanti Brothers. Any comments that are cruel or harass us will be blocked.

      If you ever go back to Pittsburgh, you have to check out Pennsylvania Macaroni Factory. Also great place to get sushi is called Penn Ave. Fish Company. Also you have to try Burgatory. They have alcoholic milkshakes that to die for

      I've lived in Pittsburgh for 20 yeahs now and worked at the Strip District primantis for a few years. Even I say it wrong sometimes. For people to genuinely get on you about saying the name of our horrible sandwiches incorrectly...well, I'd like to say it's not representative of the people here, but... Yeah. Sounds about right. Sorry bout that.

    So excited that you stopped through Pittsburgh! It is absolutely one of the US's most underrated cities. There is so much beauty and history all in one spot. Also glad to see you went to the original Primanti Bros in the Strip. My mom grew up going there with her aunt during the 60s when it was super grimy and full of factory workers! I would love to see you go to the allegheny mountain area of PA sometime. Super similar to West Virginia in terms of outdoorsy fun, but also full of its own unique history. Especially if you like railroads!

    That was fun to watch! My husband and I grew up in the area! (When we got married, we moved to Ohio for his job). During Spring Break one year, I took my 3 kids to Pittsburgh to have some fun. (We’d return for the holidays but we never had time to do much during the holidays but visit with family). We stayed with Grandma and did the incline and Station Square. At the time, a ball player with the Pirates owned a restaurant in Station Square so that was pretty cool to him to go there for lunch. I worked in McKees Rocks area for a summer (long time ago) and would buy pirogies at any number of churches; they would all sell them on Fridays and there was a church on every block because each nationality had their own church. When we moved to Canton, OH (we’re in Columbus now) and I would talk about pierogis, nobody was familiar with them! LOL. I was not familiar with Randyland! Looks like I’ll have to take a trip back to PA; grab my high school friend and get back to the strip district and then do Randyland! Downtown Pittsburgh sure looked nice; you had a great weather day! I do love the “3 rivers”!

    I enjoy all the Pittsburgh people coming out for this video. I live in Brooklyn now, but nothing beats the views I get at home. You captured it well. Lots of other goodies to explore. I would recommend: Andy Warhol Museum (Yes, he's from there.), Real Hoagies (Giorgio's on Western Avenue ask for an Arnold Palmer they make the best) and Tourist Hoagies (Peppis), Breakfast (Pamela's Diner (crepe style pancakes)) and also DeLucas (You gotta get up early and there will be a line, but it will be worth it), Sushi from Andys at Wholey's in the Strip (He's been there since the 80s and will talk your head off if he doesn't have a line.), sweet spot for history buffs Carrie Furnaces (on the drive you'll see the peaks of Kennywood.) I could go on and on.

    You went to the original Primanti's! Did you meet Toni, the legendary chef who seems to get to know everyone who comes in there? She is just awesome. And you did it right with capicola - or as we Italians say, gabba-GOAL. Fantastic sandwich-eating form, K!
    A near-perfect day that we had - go to a Pirates afternoon game (get the BBQ Pierogi Hoagie at Manny's behind center field), hang out at Market Square, get Primanti's takek-out there and take the hike to have dinner right at the point of Point State Park. Just special.

    I actually work right across the street from that P-Bros. It's my favorite of their locations, one of the only places to get food 24/7 in the city.
    But the real story as to why they put everything on the sandwich was the men who were up 20 stories working on these buildings needed a free hand. So the owner started putting it all on one sandwich and basically did their own Pittsburgh version of a gyro so it could be eaten with only one hand. So basically the same thing, but it was to solve a problem for the local workers.
    Gotta say though, I've lived here for a decade and I've never been to Randyland lol I guess it's cuz it's right there, i don't feel the need to go right away lol

    I lived in Pittsburgh for close to 11 years before moving down to Raleigh about 5 years ago. I miss the city but not the region. When we had family and friends visit, we would always take them to ride the incline up to Mt. Washington and show them the skyline at night. Can’t beat it. Your shot at 0:58 is the Gulf Tower. I worked in that building for several years. Also worked downtown closer to the Point and walked through Point State Park everyday on the way to and from my car. Not so fun in the winter, especially walking across the bridge. Glad you enjoyed Primanti’s, never got into myself.

Because the city is so hilly, there's a network of about 600+ public staircases that the workers used to use to get up and down the hills. It makes for a really cool and unique urban hike, and a lot of great views from the top. Also, I'm glad you went to the Strip District Primantis!

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  3 года назад

      You could go either way. Downtown is pretty walkable or requires a quick Uber, but there are some sights, parks, and neighborhoods (like shadyside and other cool spots) that would require a drive. If you could get a good deal on a rental and have free parking, it would probably be cheaper than Ubering around. But if the rentals are insanely pricy, you could get by without one. Although it may be cold to walk around a lot.
      We didn’t have any issues parking our massive van surprisingly and didn’t spend much on parking fees at all! Another thing to consider is the airport is pretty far from downtown so that Uber ride alone could be $$$.
