Quick stops in Pittsburgh?

[KCT]

I will be passing through PBGH in just over a week. I plan to have lunch at Primantis and am wondering if there are any other places I should stop.

I don’t have lots of time, but an hour or so is possible. Any good ice cream or dessert shops? (though after eating at Primantis, I doubt I could eat dessert…)

Any good shopping? Local must sees?

I hope you’re going to the Primanti’s in the strip district. If you only have an hour or so, that’s the place to be. Lots of local specialty stores, places where you can get dessert (I recommend Enrico’s). Two great historic Catholic Churches, St. Stanislaus and St. Patrick’s you could visit. Here’s a link to the Churches: saintsinthestrip.org/.

Yes, I’m going to the original Primantis.

Thanks for the church links. Stopping in to see them would be super!

I googled Enricos . . . I may never make it out of PBGH!
