Pittsburgh Zoo was a lot of fun. I knew I was getting a limited experience but I still saw a bunch and some good close up animals and got some good videos like a tiger pissing and monkey fights. The Polar Bear is SUCH a good boy like seriously.

 

If you want other good spots to check out look at:

 

Andy Warhol Museum

Mattress Factory

Randyland

Carnegie Museum of Natural History

Carnegie Museum of Art

Phipps Conservatory

 

I know you mentioned wanting to go to the Science Center...That wouldn't be the worst idea, but just know that the exhibits tend to be especially kid-focused. An adult without any nostalgia for it may not be as enthused. Just my two cents though!

Thanks for the tip - that actually is good to know. I’ll keep that in consideration vs Museum of Natural History

I’m surprised this place makes food this late (Eleven) places are closing so early these days it’s hard to get something after 8. Which sucks, because I like to eat later when traveling. I got the Ricotta Camarillo, Crispy Calamari, Beet Salad, and the entire cheese selection. Now to hope there will be a SVU marathon on tv to eat to.

My office holiday party was there last year and it was great. That same restaurant group also owns Kaya down the street, which is equally fantastic. Depending on your threshold for walking, walking through the Strip (Penn Ave) tomorrow is a big thing, tons of restaurants/bakeries/shops/merchants.

Oh yeah I walked all around there and also the other direction which got me some cool grocery stores and stuff, it’s just I never know what’s good and open late. But it was fun walking around. That day I just went for a big building that looked trustworthy so ate at a place called “Eddie Merlot’s” which I’m assuming is some kind of chain. I had the sea bass though and it was quite fantastic and weirdly their chopped salad left a huge impression on me

Will check these out but really only get to pick two more places and one is definitely pizza. I probably should have asked for suggestions a couple days ago :P

What else you been up to today?

 

That was it so far - now I’m at the Rivers casino wasting a $20 bill at video poker. I didn’t realize they had like full on Casinos here! Then just back to the hotel and then eating either pizza or one of those nicer places. 
 

My cold is not going away, just morphing, unfortunately. So I’m not really hitting it all too hard. Probably pizza tonight due to that and maybe if I’m lucky I’ll feel a little better tomorrow.

Get some garlic knots too, they are next level
