100 Things to Do in Pittsburgh Before You Die, 3rd Edition - by Rossilynne Culgan (Paperback)

About the Book

The story of Pittsburgh's transformation from a smoky steel town to a modern, high-tech city draws people from around the world to this corner of southwestern Pennsylvania. Pittsburghers are known for their deep pride in the city, and with so much to do and see (and eat!) around here it's no wonder why. The third edition 100 Things to Do in Pittsburgh Before You Die features itineraries and tips on what you'll discover in the Steel City. Scale Mount Washington on the Incline, a century-old cable car. Admire the artwork of Pittsburgh native Andy Warhol. Kayak the three rivers. History buff? Travel back in time to the drama of the Whiskey Rebellion, which unfolded right here. Dig into a plate of perfect pierogies, then treat yourself to America's "greatest cake." Maybe yinz will even pick up a little Pittsburghese. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Francesca Dabecco and Rossilynne Skena Culgan grew up in different parts of the region but both found themselves so compelled by their hometown that they made careers writing about it. They combine local expertise with the spirit of discovery. With this book as your guide, you won't miss a thing on your quest to make memories in the 'Burgh.
