I've only ever drank at Tako, been meaning to try their food for a while. I recently tried Condado for the first time a few weeks ago and I liked it well enough. Downtown isn't where the party's at, though.

Everything in Pittsburgh was really cheap too which was great. I wouldn't mind visiting again for sure. I was there in November, and only for a night, but it seems like it'd be a fun place to visit in the summer. I want to see a game at PNC park since baseball stadiums on the water usually rule.

Fifty Three posted:Aw, I like that place. Hofbrauhaus and Penn Brewery are where it's at though. The former if you're fun and like singing and standing on benches. It's not so much their beer. I love their Tripple. Their food seems to have gone down hill over the last few years, IMHO. But they still have a solid pierogi pizza. Citizen Tayne posted:Candado's tacos are quantity over quality and their refried beans are sweet. Pretty gross. I can't remember what I had exactly. Definitely not their refried beans, but I thought it was decent. But maybe it was comfort food because it was after the game 6 loss to the Caps... and I was with a Caps fan.

Grist House, Draai Laag, East End, and Maggie's Farm Rum are where it's at. Pittsburgh has an overwhelming number of craft breweries, and I'm pretty sure it has the most bars per captia in the country (there was an article about it). Plus a bunch of bike trails, though that's a pretty divisive topic because a lot of people are idiots.

I just started cycling this year and the trails are a blessing, because they keep you from getting run over by the insane drivers. I don't bother with the places you listed above or Butler St because I'm an old fart.

I went and saw a Preds game in Pittsburgh a few years ago and went to Butcher and the Rye downtown, which was pretty hip/bougie. Also we saw Perron, Lapierre, and Despres there.

I went to a game there in April of 2014 and it was a beautiful park. First pitch was also pushed back 90 minutes for rain so I was competely tanked before the game even started and it ruled.

Apparently we have a ton of great places to eat in Pittsburgh, unfortunately my wife has Celiacs so we don't get out to most of them. Having said that, There's a place in the strip district called Gaucho that makes some unbelievably good food, and it is pretty reasonably priced; if your in Pittsburgh and have the chance, I'd suggest eating there. At least for lunch anyway, no idea what they do for dinner. Also I'm a homer, so I think the pens are going to repeat, but Rinne is absolutely terrifying. Well that and PK skate stomping a few more penguins during the series. E: it dawns on me, I'm probably eating jalapeño cheez-its for dinner, so my food recommendations may be suspect.

At least for lunch anyway, no idea what they do for dinner. Same menu. You can get a huge ribeye for lunch or dinner! I don't have celiac's but too much yeasty carbs are bad for me. So I can sympathize a bit. I would also recommend* Greet Forrest Churrascaria or if you need to be downtown, Texas de Brazil for their Brazilian meat heavy menu. Meat and Potatoes, Pork n Beans, BRGR, Burgatory are really solid. Good lunch places that have meat & potential gluten free options are Salem's, Dijlah (mid-eastern / mediterranean). I prefer Dijlah most of the time, their Iraqi Kabob and Lamb Teka are excellent. *I have not been to Green Forrest, yet, but have heard it's better than Texas de Brazil and the latter is pretty drat good for $45 all you can eat meat.

25 years ago tonight, game 1 of the '92 SCF, the Pens mounted a tremendous comeback against Chicago. From Being down 4-1 about half way through the second period to Super Mario scoring the game winner on a fantastic set play from a face off with 12 or so seconds left in regulation. Greatest game in penguins history IMO.

CBJ don't have to protect David Clarkson and I don't think the Leafs have to protect Nathan Horton, among other teams/players, so I'd assume it's the same.
