I spent few hours in Pittsburgh. Only thing I saw is the oldest Hindu temple in USA. City looked similar to most other cities in US.
Best : Mario
Worst : The rest of their hockey team!

(sorry..hope you get more usefull answers.)

MT Wasgington has the greatest views of the city but is a fairly high priced area. with all the hills the roads are hidous in the winter to get around, getting into the city from there not fun. The worst thing about Pittsburgh is the traffic getting into the city. To get into the city from anyhwhere you must go through a tunnel and for unknown reason drivers will slow to a crawl before entering the tunnel. ( the speed limit does not change) Road constuction an ongoing project. the pothole is the mascot.Pittsburgh has some of the best hospitals in the country along with the airport and it's sports teams. There is always something going on as far as night life and free stuff at teh point or mellon square. I am sure you will find the right neiborhood for you.
If you are in Pittsburgh during the first weekend of August and enjoy boating, be sure to attend the Regatta. There are high speed boat races on the rivers, anything-that-floats races, air shows,food fairs, and generally a great time.
Although there doesn't seem to be a law against conducting business on Sunday, most businesses and attractions in Pittsburgh remain closed on Sundays. Some stores were open during the day, especially in The Strip. The Andy Warhol Museum was open, but by the time evening rolled around, we found it very difficult to find someplace open where we could have dinner. Even the restaurants in our hotel were closed. The upshot is that if your itinerary includes a Sunday, plan on it being a low key day. We had planned on Sunday as our main sightseeing day and we ended up being a somewhat disappointed.
Though the Pittsburgh Pirates may not have the best record (don't tell that to a fan), baseball games at PNC Park can be a fun time for all ages. Even people who are not fond of baseball have a great time!
Inside PNC Park, there are also numerous restaurants. You can try some famous Pittsburgh Pierogies, ice cream, or another delicious treat. Almost all Pirates games give away free stuff as well (hats, blankets, bobble heads). However, the food is often over-priced, but when is it not? Everytime I go to a Pirate's game, I get the Pierogies. You get around six, which is a pretty good deal for your money. Plus, they are delicious. We don't have Pierogie races for nothing!
In my experience, when going to a game at PNC Park, it's better not to drive. A cheap and quick way to get to PNC Park would be to take "The T" to Wood Street, then walk across the Clemente Bridge. Parking is often scarce and expensive. Don't worry about walking Pittsburgh at night; it is very safe. I've done it since I was around 15.

Ok, so maybe this isn't the real name of this piece but mention it to any Pittsburgher that spends time downtown and they'll know what you're talking about.
This fountain is located at the PPG building and sits in the middle of the concrete filled plaza.
