One Day in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! (Duquesne Incline, iconic FOOD, & Randyland)

Hello from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Pittsburgh is hands down one of our favorite larger cities in the United States. With three rivers, 446 bridges (the most in the world!), historic buildings, and gorgeous green hills all around, it's so dang picturesque. And while we have been to the city before (for Adam, many times), this was our first time truly exploring the city together, so we spent one day doing as many touristy things as possible!

Yes, we now know that Primanti Bros is pronounced Primanti Brothers. Any comments that are cruel or harass us will be blocked.

This popped in my recommendations, glad to see people exploring the city I'm from!

I will never forget coming through the tunnel from the airport and the city unveiling in front of my eyes...it was beyond stunning!

[JustinBrehm]

I think it is Fort Pitt Tunnel where you have 5 Seconds to choose from 20 roads to pick from. I'm about 45 minutes away from Pittsburgh and some of those roads always give you a panic attack😂😂😂

So excited that you stopped through Pittsburgh! It is absolutely one of the US's most underrated cities. There is so much beauty and history all in one spot. Also glad to see you went to the original Primanti Bros in the Strip. My mom grew up going there with her aunt during the 60s when it was super grimy and full of factory workers! I would love to see you go to the allegheny mountain area of PA sometime. Super similar to West Virginia in terms of outdoorsy fun, but also full of its own unique history. Especially if you like railroads!

As a life long Pittsburgher. I really enjoyed this. You captured the essence of our city very well.

I grew up in Wyoming but spent my summers in Pittsburgh with my grandparents who lived on Mt. Washington. I have always thought of Pittsburgh as my second home. Nice vlog of one of my favorite places.

[bobgardin]

Pittsburgh is one of those great, underrated cities like Cleveland. Other Pittsburgh attractions not to miss include Matress Factory Art Museum, Market Square, and the Carnegie Museums and other sites near the universities.

Pittsburgh really is an underrated city. A great place to visit.

As a Pittsburgher (or Yinzer, if you will), you guys represented our city well! Thank you for seeing her for her uniqueness and beauty. We are very proud of our little City of Bridges. I've lived all over the US but I will always come back home! Thanks for coming to see us! Love your content!

That was fun to watch! My husband and I grew up in the area! (When we got married, we moved to Ohio for his job). During Spring Break one year, I took my 3 kids to Pittsburgh to have some fun. (We’d return for the holidays but we never had time to do much during the holidays but visit with family). We stayed with Grandma and did the incline and Station Square. At the time, a ball player with the Pirates owned a restaurant in Station Square so that was pretty cool to him to go there for lunch. I worked in McKees Rocks area for a summer (long time ago) and would buy pirogies at any number of churches; they would all sell them on Fridays and there was a church on every block because each nationality had their own church. When we moved to Canton, OH (we’re in Columbus now) and I would talk about pierogis, nobody was familiar with them! LOL. I was not familiar with Randyland! Looks like I’ll have to take a trip back to PA; grab my high school friend and get back to the strip district and then do Randyland! Downtown Pittsburgh sure looked nice; you had a great weather day! I do love the “3 rivers”!

Originally from Pitt. Pittsburgh is one of the best US cities. So much to do. The Incline, Robert Wholey's, Heinz Hall, Phipps Conservatory, Schenley Park, North and South Park, numerous nearby state parks, great architecture, many universities, and a million parks, forests and events. We are going to retire back there.

[sshoover]

As a yinzer, you two did a fantastic job! Pgh is one of those cities that locals always come back. Having to relocate multiple times for work, I always find my way back. What makes the city great is truly the people!

“These are just pockets of delicious happiness!” That’s my kind of food and the fries “in” the sandwich is right up there too! “BOOM” Adam! Haha…good job! This is such a beautiful city! What a fun way to spend the day! Aunt Laverne is so cuuute! She will be happy to know she made it in!

[emilyzapinski]

Gotta be honest, when I heard Pittsburgh, I thought, meh. After this vlog, it's Pittsburgh, wow! That's travel for you, explore and learn.

[barbarapeterson]

Thank you. I just found your channel. WE live IN THE BURGH! Pittsburgh is hard to explain; mostly beauty; and the SUBURBS are beautiful too. IT'S NOT to big and it's not too small. SHARED TO THE BURGH!

[CapricornGirl]
