This was my sixth NFL Draft but first ever time setting foot in Pittsburgh, and I didn't have much in the way of expectations going into this trip.
I really enjoyed your city! While most of our time was spent in the draft venues themselves, we were really impressed with how the city handled the layout and organization for this year.
The weather was incredible!! Also, shout out to the Visit Pittsburgh DMO team - I work in a similar industry and am familiar with how much work goes into marketing for a major DMO and, while their work will go unnoticed by almost everyone most likely, I thought they absolutely crushed it. I could see their work in so many places.
I want to specifically thank u/Tough_Arm_2454 for recommendations they made on a different post I had a couple weeks ago asking for recs.
We ended up spending time in Bellevue, Brighton Heights, Strip District, Grandview Ave, and downtown.
Rode the Dusquene to the top, walked Grandview, and rode the other one down. Rode the Clipper boat thing. Ate at the original Primanti Bros. Walked around inside PNC Park and Heinz Field. Checked out the Heinz History Center.
Favorite food was at Shiloh Gastro Pub above the Mon-Incline. Liked that we could get ice cream across the street, too.
The only negatives I have about my short stay in Pittsburgh is that every Uber driver was weird AF, your grocery story situation leaves a lot to be desired, and buying booze shouldn't be so difficult.
Anyways, thanks for having us Pittsburgh! Your town represented well and maybe some day I'll be back.
