​@@Mongoose-ct6us Of course it depends on what exactly you plan to do, but most of the major tourist things will not require a car. Buses and walking will get you very far in Pittsburgh. Google Maps shows pretty easily what's accessible by transit, but within the city there's not much that you can't get to by transit.

We aren't "east coast", we aren't quite "midwest", we are Pittsburgh. A unique blend of many generations, cultures, and overall hardworking people. Not perfect (we have our fair share of problems), but a great continued work in progress. From glass, to steel, to what now is a city driven by our world-class technology, education, and healthcare industries. It's like a phoenix that keeps rising over and over again. Very liveable, affordable and a wonderful place to raise a family. Hope you make your way back again. You did a great job scratching the surface. Plenty more to explore and enjoy.

Pittsburgher here. I think the fact people are so passionate about Pittsburgh is precisely why it's such a great place to visit and live in. We love our city, and its icons. The Steelers, Kennywood, Mr. Rogers, these are just a few Pittsburgh things that aren't just things to see, they become part of the fabric of the city itself. Even the fire hydrants are black and yellow. Kennywood arrow signs are scattered throughout town. Mr. Rogers murals, quotes, and merch are everywhere. You don't get that same feeling in other cities.

I grew up in the northern panhandle of West Virginia. Just south of Wheeling. Wheeling is where the interstate first breaks off from our little route 2 and head towards the “big city.” To us, Pittsburgh was always that cool city of Oz on the horizon, two hours away. close enough to drive but far enough away to be special. Loved going there as a young adult when I had friends who lived in Oakland during college. Fun going as an adult with my wife and my kid and staying at the Embassy suites downtown and going to the zoo and eating at Fogo de Chao. I love Pittsburgh. It’s truly unique and was a major part of my character building growing up.

no they are. everyone at Pittsburgh’s mediocre universities acts like they go to harvard

[@electriquenikki]

what a beautiful tribute to the city. Fig & Ash looks SO good, I love that concept and that lamb shank looks decadent.

[@unclelarry9138]

Great city and suburbs. The whole region is solid.

[@hobojungle1]

Been recently day dreaming and even beginning to plan a move to Pittsburgh from TN. My job is going full remote/work from home so I’ll have the opportunity now.

[@attachetravel]

Do it, do it!

[@andrew8501]

It's good, but no income tax and closer to good mountains gives TN the W

[@whoopydingdong3138]

Don’t do it. it’s so tragically depressing and boring. Even compared to nashville. also I hope you don’t mind constant gray with a absolutely no color for 6 months

[@lifeofluxuri]

@@hobojungle1 ignore that Pittsburgh troll down there throwing shade on everyone’s sunny outlook. Pittsburgh is what you make of it. There is plenty to do and it’s a city that still feels suburban. I’ve lived in Nashville now for 4 years and I’ll be honest……hate it. So overpopulated. Takes forever to get places. Downtown is a disaster at pretty much all hours because of the city’s lean in on full tourism. Nashville is the new Las Vegas and all they really need is the Casino to back that up.

[@lifeofluxuri]

I’m moving back in Jan. I say go for it!

[@nonstopjoliver]

I can't believe you did a video on Pittsburgh and didn't the entrance to the city from Fort Pitt tunnel on the way in from the airport. Best introduction to a cityscape I have ever seen.

[@RobAlling]

Thank you for your glowing review. Pittsburgh is everything you showcase and so much more. Please come back and do a feature about our beautiful architecture (Cathedral of Learning - University of Pittsburgh, Phipps Conservatory and Greenhouse, and of course the many gorgeous churches). We are also a city with 91 neighborhoods; many still reflecting old world cultural heritage.

[@mstrfstr310]

Important note that looks like may have been missed, there's an entire busline redesign project underway. We also have one of the only bronze-rated BRT systems (the east busway) in the nation, with construction of the University Line, which will serve Oakland and destinations east, just getting underway this year. Public transit in the burgh is getting a big facelift.

[@KP-hi1om]

I live in Pittsburgh but I am from L.A. I have never lived somewhere where the people take such pride in their city. No matter what race, people are proud.

[@definitelynotdistracted]

This is great, I’m glad my city’s getting some of the recognition it deserves. The graffiti on the sign at 4:46 was so real lmao.

[@AngiDas]

Thank you for coming to our city. It seems you had a great time. I hope you come back soon.

[@scottkaravlan936]

You did an excellent job explaining the public transit and the payment system. From now on I'll be forwarding your videos to friends who are visiting. Thanks for stopping by.

[@greggorsag9787]

Grew up here, have been in many world capitals and big cities, lived in Manhattan, Philly, and Boston. Came back to Pittsburgh and haven’t regretted it a bit. It’s wonderful physically and has outsized art and food cultures. And, of course, great sports cultures. But you are correct that the people are really the big highlight. Somewhat less cynical and more open than in most East Coast cities, welcoming and generally warm and talkative. A big plus is that the fun here is *accessible*. It’s cheaper and more manageable than most big US cities. And Western PA also has lots of natural attractions, if you know where to look. Honestly, as a Pittsburgher, I’m always a little conflicted when I see videos like this. If this story gets too widely distributed, maybe it gets ruined by overdevelopment and increasing costs. For now, though, the balance is still fabulous.

[@justingee6905]

"...they bring it back with some paperwork for you to complete..." I'm dying! 🤣

[@attachetravel]

I mean...it's true!

[@martinc.720]

Diners: I agree with everything you say about them. They are wonderful places to go to. This may sound silly to some, but one thing I do when I visit the US is have a burger at a diner. In my home country, ground beef served in restaurants has to be cooked well done. Of course people can cook it at any level of doneness at home, but I like to have the experience of being at a restaurant and having a burger cooked at the level of my choice.

[@attachetravel]

I love a good diner burger.

[@Musingfornoreason]

The owner of Fig and Ash also owns the Deutschtown Deli which has some of the BEST deli sandwiches in this city imho

[@BrentTV]

The best city! 🖤💛🖤💛

what are you smoking

[@loganbertolotti9414]

i love how the comments are almost all people from pittsburgh and never from people who’ve visited

[@TheZzzleep...]

Never been there but in look it reminds me of Portland and Seattle with rolling green hills but with more broad leaf trees rather than northwest conifers.

[@dogybark]

I recently moved to Pittsburgh about a year ago and it has been one of the best decisions ive ever made. Every neighborhood is its own unique experience and culture to it and I keep finding more and more cozy spots as I explore further. We got set up with a house in south side slopes with a rooftop deck and everytime I sit out and look at the gorgeous night skyline, I am in awe.

[@E000rik]

Really great lighting in the breakfast scene. The camera work on your videos has gotten better and better.

[@attachetravel]

Awesome, thank you!

[@spencerwallace4805]

Another thing I'll add, the locals here DO NOT like wigle whiskey. They make great whiskey, sure, but they are owned by bob nutting. Bob Nutting owns the pirates and is almost 100% responsible for them being ass year in and year out

[@ohSnow]

The Intro was chill inducing, Glad pittsburgh was able to provide soo much even though were rather small compared to many other cities!

[@imunchienandalusia]

It's a beautiful place. I sold my place in Nashville a few years back and moved up here.

[@lifeofluxuri]

@@imunchienandalusia literally leaving Nashville after 4 years to come back to my city. Starting 2025 back in my stomping grounds :)

[@imunchienandalusia]

@@lifeofluxuri I think you're going to be happy with it. It's a lot more chill, less road rage. Of course the taxes still suck haha but it's such a beautiful city. Nashville has a great dating pool and a lot of new construction but I don't have much of an urge to move back there. Good luck with your return.

@@imunchienandalusia Yeah I lost my MIND from being in the literal ugliest place on earth for too long. it’s unnatural and causes psychological damage. ever hear of zoochosis? that’s modern america for ya. And the rust belt and midwest is the worst of the worst. ugly ugly ugly depressing modern buildings and parking lots surrounded by dead looking trees and a landscape of complete gray for 6 months. nothing to do. disgusting culture in every way whether it’s architecture art food music fashion. pretty much everything about this place is hell

May get lost in the comments, but if you’d like a deeper dive on Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods, Dean Bog has a series here where he explores just that. The history is as rich as you felt while visiting.

[@mingosquire1461]

I love Pittsburgh beautiful city and good food

Massively underrated.

[@davidecasassa8679]

Not sure why the $3.75 fare for the airport bus was not stated in the video, even as the cab fare was. Fact is, the 28X is not only super efficient; it's an incredible bargain as well.
