The Pittsburgh Pirates play baseball in PNC Park, a baseball stadium in Pittsburgh. The park is named after PNC, a bank headquarted in Pittsburgh. The "P" in "PNC" stands for Pittsburgh.

If you are ever in New York City, you can withdraw money free of charge from any McDonald's ATM with your PNC debit card. A lot of people don't realize this for some reason and end up eating the ATM fee or finding one of the like three PNC ATMs in the city.

A good tip for traveling Pittsburghers.

I like Primanti's pizza. It's unpretentious and tasty.

You can always pick out the suburbanites because they talk about getting pizza and poo poo at the P. The real Primanti's (strip and downtown) don't serve 'za.

i had no idea primantis served pizza until those posts. imo that's incredibly haraam.

let's talk about primanti's for a second. primanti's was owned by i think three or four people. one of them wanted to franchise the loving poo poo out of it. the others, smartly, wanted to protect the primanti's brand and disagreed. enraged, the one owner quit, or was bought out, and moved to cleveland to open the panini's chain, a bad ripoff.

quote:

The original shop is located in Pittsburgh's Strip District, a busy area along the Allegheny River filled with warehouses and produce yards. According to the restaurant, Joe Primanti, born in suburban Wilmerding, Pennsylvania, invented the sandwich during the Great Depression. His brothers, Dick and Stanley, later joined him. The Primantis opened their diner at Smallman Street and 18th Street in the Strip District and served the late-night and early-morning workers who were unloading fish, fruits, and vegetables.[3]

It has also been a tradition for the late night crowd to go to Primanti's in the Strip District after the bars have closed, due to their hours of operation (at one time they were one of the few establishments open after 2 A.M.).

With the passing of Stanley Primanti in the early 70's and John in 1974, Dick decided to sell the business to Jim Patrinos in 1975. Today there are 16 Pittsburgh locations, including at the city's major sports venues PNC Park, Heinz Field, and the Consol Energy Center, as well as several other locations throughout the eastern United States.

Oddly enough, the main downtown/Strip locations don't serve pizza but do serve wings. The wings aren't bad, either.
