That's great info to have, Maury! Thank you.

 

I highly recommend Mt. Washington. There are some excellent restaurant's there and the view of Pittsburgh is awesome!

 

^Don't forget to buy some Yingling beer. The oldest beer company in the U.S. . They brew the same amount of beer in a year, that Budweiser brews in a day.

 

Did someone mention Primanti Brothers? I have to try this place just once!

 

If you are a seafood lover, this is the restaurant on Mt. Washington

Monterey Bay Fish Groto Restaurant(Seafood)
1411 Grandview Ave, Pittsburgh PA 15211-1199
(412) 481-4414

 

This is where I have got to go!!!!!

 

Wow, what a list!

Thanks for putting it together, Maury!

 

Don't forget about Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright....run by a Conservancy (Google for info) I think that Patty and others went there the last time in the area for FC. Reservations may be req'd for tours.

Also, the memorial to the Flight 293(?number) in Somerset PA....maybe 2 hours to the SW.

 

Thanks for the list!! You dah man.
