These restaurants and bars could be anywhere. I wanted to see what the city looks like, the streetscape, the houses, the parks, downtown, not just food and drink.

[jameysummers]

It took me moving to Massachusetts to realize how great it was to grow up in Pittsburgh. What a great place. I miss yinz guys dahn air.

[TrevorEMayo]

Another mistitled YouTube video. Would have been better titled " Where to go in Pittsburgh and miss most of what Pittsburgh has to offer"

[Donegal]

For anyone seriously interested in Pittsburgh you are watching the wrong video. Everything shown in this video is all hipster places. What was shown here is not real Pittsburgh. We have a lot nicer places to enjoy yourself at than these Hipster places trust me.

I'm from Pittsburgh. I've been living in Brooklyn for the past 10 years. I'm looking for reasons to move back because the cost of living is lower, but this video just made me sad. That bakery wants to make people feel like they're not in Pittsburgh? What's the point? That city still has way too much self-hatred. Pittsburgh seriously needs to go out and get stoned and drunk for a weekend. It needs to have a one night stand with New Orleans or a few beers with Berlin. Pittsburgh needs more happiness. It deserves it.

The whole video, I was waiting for them to start talking about things other than restaurants and bars 😂

[clairejohnston]

Whaaaa? Hipster breweries and cuisine? You didn't go near the real Pittsburgh, such as the Strip District, Bloomfield and the "Sath Side". And not a mention of the Steelers, yet. Obviously this video was made by somebody with their nose in the air.

[LordOfNothingham]

This is so stupid. No Fort Pitt, no incline, Pirates, Penguins, or Steelers. Forget the museums. Forget kennywood. This is the snobbish side of the city.

[noahfair]

Favorite part was when that lady said, “I want people to walk in and forget that they’re in Pittsburgh” in a video about what to do in Pittsburgh.... terrible video

[BenDonahower]

love pittsburgh. lots of great communities. i like the cultural district but south side and strip district are pretty cool too.

[Dirtysecretxoxo]

I feel like this video didn't focus on the mainly popular restaurants in Pittsburgh . Like Peppi's, Primanti Bros., and more! I have lived in Pittsburgh my whole life, and the city has WAY more to offer than what this video shows.

1:15 This dude proudly saying his restaurant helped to gentrify the city... when will people learn that gentrification is bad?

[maurahelman]

im so proud that i was born, raised, and still living in pittsburgh

[kadenwilson]

My wife is from Pittsburgh so we make it out to see her family about twice a year. Can't believe no mention of church works brewing or the macaroni store?! I have to hit those two spots every time we visit.

[StepUp]

I’m from Pittsburgh. This video is not the real Pittsburgh. I’ve never been to and never even heard of most of these places. This should be titled what hipsters and yuppies and trendies can do in Pittsburgh.

[azguitar]

“Secret Under Pittsburgh, ” it’s an amazing book!

[zachdaly]

I just went to Pittsburgh and it was amazing

[thewalrus]

I'm black and originally from Pittsburgh. Yet, it took 5 minutes before I saw a black person in this video. Hmm...

[psilence]

Not what I was looking for as a review but i definitely like the beer and movie spot. Thanks!!

[joelman]

Was wondering what NYT would have to say about home. Found out that they had nothing to say about any of the things people would actually come here for.
