Pittsburgh (September 2019)

My spouse and I visited Pittsburgh for the weekend in late September 2019. We were meeting up with some friends who graduated from the University of Delaware for the Pitt - Delaware game. We stayed at the Hyatt Place North Shore, which was the first time that we stayed near the stadiums instead of Downtown (but not the last!). We left home around noon, which brought us into Pittsburgh around 5:00 pm, just in time to pick up one of our friends in the Pittsburgh suburb of Shadyside after his afternoon of sightseeing. After we checked into the hotel, we had drinks outside at Steel Cactus (at PNC Park), then walked across the Roberto Clemente Bridge for dinner at Pork ‘n Beans. The game was on Saturday, and Pitt won 17 - 14. That night, our generous friends treated us to an anniversary dinner at The Commoner (at the Kimpton Monaco). On our way out of the city on Sunday, we took the opportunity to enjoy an al fresco brunch at unique The Abbey on Butler Street.
