Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Local City Guide & Company Reviews

I-9 Anyone Ah, bingo. What else is there to do on a Tuesday night in wintertime if you're Catholic.

Learn How Get a grip. Chase the ball with the right stick. Then, sink that putt. Be a man at leisure.

The French Touch So light, so delicate. The doors of Hell. The Thinker. So much detail. Plus, his lesser known works. Spend the day.

Watch out for the last step Just kidding, but if you start counting, you'll trip.

The Culture If you've been a little unsure just what's up with the new generation, come on out. Dip a toe into the waters of the pool of youth.

What's in a name? Both gutterals are claimed in this name. You can order by grunting here. They won't mind. It's a dry-heat thang.

Whenever You Need It You can get it at Denny's. This town has the A-B-Cs of chain stores. Here's D. Best if used at 4:00 a.m.

Buenos Snackos Dang, Compadre. I don't know what the name of this li'l hacienda means, but I'm a reg'lar.

A Little Bit o'Flatland Food I always said we need to bring Kansas City to Phoenix!? Whatever they were thinking, they were right. Love that BBQ.

Great Slices And so far from Little Italy, too. But, it's worth every penny. They named the place Camelback, because there was a stuffed camel near the door of the old place. Everyone tried to take it and they had to call out, "hey, you. Put the camel back." Hence, the name. (They don't own up to it, though.)

Great Gimmick A pizza with wings? I get it. Carryouts so good they fly out the door.

If I Do If I be mindin' my bizness and don't go back in here, I be losin'.

The Best My kids love it. Fake urban scenes, high on the fantasy quotient. Indoor action. Shoot to "vaporize." No one gets hurt. Great for birthday parties. Lots of bass on the sound system.

Clever Name Name sez it all. Links and Clubs. Heaven.

Huh!? This is an attraction? Maybe for junior political-science majors. Perhaps that's enough of a draw for some.

Remember Honor the firefighters. They took a hit on 9/11. Nice pun in the title, too.

Whoo-Hoo Nice name. Sip inside and dream away. You can certainly lounge, but you'll be hard-pressed to find the bikini.

Le Wow I like Le Girls for le consistent cocktail.

Dance and Drum I've had the elemental experience. While drumming, I saw the dancers respond immediately. Slip those discs. Makes me drum with more abandon. Come on down to drive those heavy rhythms like a car 'til the tires melt. Then, you can sit there with your memories.

Injera Bread What is this wonderful bread? I've never had it before. It was great for sopping up the Dorowat gravy. Abay -- A for short -- has a great little place. Maybe he'll be as successful as his brother E.

House of Thomas When we were younger, we called these restaurants the House of Thomas. Isn't that a stitch? In those days, we couldn't afford even to steal our food. Now we can. So, the other night we took a little trip down memory lane and ate here. We paid. The place was clean.

Big Sam's Hey, where does a 500-pound Sam eat BBQ? Anyplace he wants to. Har, har. Get it? But seriously,, he eats here really just like I do. And I only weigh 400 pounds.

Kmart Pizza? Boy it saved me and the Missus some time last Saturday to eat our Little Caesars while shopping at K-Mart. Who do we thank? K-Mart or Little Caesars? TYFEALC. TYFSAK.

A Pie This Good Who knew someone in Pittsburgh could southern brown a pie the way I like it? Do it again, Danny, this time with anchovies.

Bowling and Beer Put the two together, bowling and beer, until the pins and the bottles look the same. Great place. Nice folks. Stay away from Charlie, though. He'll "strike" with the ten beer bottles he drains. Gets a little noisy in the bar late.

Aces Wild Knees up, Mother Brown. Aces are wild at the 3 Dueces. I'm comin' on. Yee-ha! My kind o' place.

Great Greens When I was caught in that huge I-78 parking lot t'other day, all I could think of after I ran out of gas was the consistency of the greens at Windyhill. Is it obvious I'm single?

The Latest Thing This is even better than Guerilla Theater from the 1960s. You can get a tribal thing going here. I'm a drummer. I use Attack-brand heads. I feel one with the Attack Theater. So will you.

Something Else My wife and I had a great time at the amphitheater both times we went. Funny thing is, and you won't believe it, the parking lot seemed to have more Chevys in it than any other make of car. I drive a Ford. It was easy to find.

Thank You Andrew Kudos to Carnegie for the museum. Thanks to the city, the staff, and all others for the great programs. Check out the Web site for coming attractions.

A Confession Being a man of the world, I no longer eat vittles, grub, snacks, etc., or "on the go." I now only eat cuisine. It tastes better that way. I like to eat on tablecloths. Yes, there's truly something in a name. And, speaking of names, Bangkok Classic lives up to its. Trust me, Classic beats Bangkok "Regular" Thai Cuisine hands down.

Pizza on the Road You fellers toss a fine pie. I'll be back on the return trip. How far do you deliver, huh? (Just kidding?)

One Question The pizza was to die for, but one thing had me scratchin' my head. I kept looking for the Bucks. I didn't even see one. What's up with 5 Bucks? I did see some deer on the way to Cedar Breaks, though.

Nice, but Just a Lounge I kept thinking you'd have one of those big movie screens. But, I figured it out. Joke's on me, I guess. I get carried away with myself sometimes. Nice lounge. Cold beer. Friendly people.

Ticket Service Don't you just love ticket services? They're so nice to you. They give you so many opportunities to serve them. Every city's got one.

God Bless Mick Riley No red fescue on these links, no sir. And, the greens are so well manicured. The 19th Hole is the most welcoming and comfortable I've ever "attested" a score in. Finally, even though my visiting countrymen, Mike and Johnny, "entertained" the room too much in the Irish way, Mick Riley's employees remained the welcoming gentlemen they always are.

Kudos Thank you for leaving out folk music. The folk-music scare of the 1960s about did me in.

Accept No Substitute Only in this canyon will you find the authentic Hog Wallow. Other hog wallows in other canyons are mere pretenders to the throne. All rise.

One Question Isn't it too close to Roswell to use a code name like Code 51 for a club? I think so. But, if you do stay, you'll find everyt
