Pittsburgh - the most surprisingly wonderful city in America.

[@andybaker2456]

We have an American branch of the family (it's a long story!), and one of my cousins lived in Pittsburgh for several years. I went to visit her there a number of times, and absolutely fell in love with the place! So much character, beautiful parks, interesting neighbourhoods, friendly people, etc. etc. At one time, BA operated their LHR-PIT service using a 747-400, although it also made a stop at IAD. Sadly, the leg from IAD to PIT was often pretty much empty. My fellow countrymen had no idea what they were missing by not visiting Pittsburgh!

[@attachetravel]

I still can't get over how much of a sleeping giant Pittsburgh is. It's such a gem. Hope we can do our part to get more people there!

[@doke889]

My city. I’m glad you saw why we Pittsburghers never shut up about how much we love Pittsburgh. There’s only one.

[@attachetravel]

I have to say, the people we met were all so damned friendly. I loved it. SO refreshing.

[@kayflip2233]

Pittsburgh is nice and a quick drive to Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Philly and New York if you want a weekend getaway.

[@attachetravel]

I hadn't consider its proximity to all those other great cities. I was surprised how far east Pittsburgh is.

[@Corneliusclewsbury]

8 hrs is a quick drive?

[@kayflip2233]

@@Corneliusclewsbury Most of those are 5-6.5 hrs. Montreal is probably a stretch.

[@banana_junior_9000]

Such a great city.

It really is, so underrated.

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

[@attachetravel]

Awesome, thank you!

How many innings do we think he stayed for? I'd say two at the most.. :X Greetings from NYC!

What?! No way, stayed for the whole game! I'm a big baseball fan so being able to get down onto the field was an awesome experience.

I like Pittsburgh a lot. I’m curious did you visit and enjoy the view from Mt.Washington❓

[@attachetravel]

We did! Wonderful vantage point.

[@saangtoaikaa9211]

Tipping is NOT mandatory. Restaurants must declare in advance on the menu or signboards if they automatically add Gratuity in your bill for large party sizes.

[@attachetravel]

Are you saying you don’t tip at restaurants and bars in the US? 🤨

[@saangtoaikaa9211]

@@attachetravel From a legal point, tips are always discretionary everywhere in the United States. Tipped minimum wage is lower than regular minimum wage because servers expect to exceed the difference through generous tips from diners. Yes, I tip around 12% to 15% if it is proper table service where servers come to your table to take your orders and then bring your food. No, I don't tip if it is plain counter service or takeaways where you pay first and then pickup food from the counter. Nobody can force you to tip. High-end dining establishments typically add gratuity in your bills for table party sizes greater than five.

[@loganmilesMX]

Pittsburgh!! Thanks for stopping by. The surrounding suburb areas are unique too.

[@attachetravel]

"Thanks for stopping by" - that is basically the sentiment we got from everyone we met. You guys are great.

For us in eastern Europe, Pittsburgh is beloved for hughe amount of our relatives that moved there from the beginning of 20th century

[@johnbenton5102]

Truly one of the most under appreciated cities in my humble opinion. So glad it's getting its highlight here on one of the best travel channels around. Thanks for all the kind things to say about the city.

[@attachetravel]

It really is!

[@Vajamjam]

People throw around the word underrated a lot -- many without really understanding what it means. But Pittsburgh is truly an underrated city. The skyline, the architecture, the food, even the sports teams and stadiums! It's almost like people are trying to keep it a secret how cool it is

[@attachetravel]

It's so true, it really felt like a secret that we were stumbling across.

[@comeconcon569]

Pittsburgh has one of the most beautiful city skylines, especially at night. I've been there before.

[@attachetravel]

Agreed, it was like a completely different city at night.

[@CG68810]

Pittsburgh is a city of neighborhoods. You need to comeback and visir them. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Oakland, Regent Square, Lawrenceville, East Liberry, Mexican War Streets, Southside and Mt Washington are all so unique and distinct. Based on your Pittsburgh experience, I know you will love them all! Comeback and visit them!

[@attachetravel]

Y'know, after we wrapped filming we wandered over to Millvale. That was a gem, loved it.

[@CG68810]

@@attachetravel Yes Millvale is a very interesting place. There is a fabulous French bakery there called Jean-Marc Chatellier's French bakery.

I need to go!

[@attachetravel]

It's such a great city

[@kaitkallquist6278]

My home, I moved 3 years ago to live at the beach and have regretted it every day... I plan to go back. The only down side of pittsburgh is winter and the roads. Lol but it's home.

[@attachetravel]

It's a great, great spot. Loved it.

[@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.

[@justingee6905]

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

From Philly and went to Pittsburgh for the first time last march. Loved it. Clean , everyone is friendly, and it’s easy to get around despite the twisty hilly streets. Btw your Brussels episode motivated me to visit the Delirium Cafe there last year! Keep the content coming 👍🏾

[@attachetravel]

It's a real revelation isn't it. So glad you enjoyed Delirium and Brussels!

[@Micheleh2o]

I spent the vast majority of my adult life in Pittsburgh, and not a day goes by that I don't want to "go home" (I had to move almost 5 years ago). Love your channel, and LOVE this!

[@user-ud7ko4cq1n]

Pittsburgh's downtown area? AMAZING, beautiful, dynamic, wonderful. Pittsburgh's surrounding neighborhoods? Often decaying, crime-infested, post-industrial hellscapes. Pittsburgh is a great downtown to visit, but you have to be careful where you wander into once you leave the tall buildings area.

[@nnnimroddd]

Did u stay at The Industrialist Hotel?

[@DroopyPenguin95]

As always, excellent video. I especially like what you did with the clean, deep audio. You really manage to seperate Alex (or whoever is talking) from the background, without completely removing the background. What diffusion filter are you using? The image looks fantastic!

[@12799MaDeuce]

Surprised you liked our public transit system and bike infrastructure - most locals find both to be extremely lacking. It's only really useful in the downtown and immediate surrounding areas. Anywhere remotely suburban is extremely underserved. Locals dislike Wigle because it's owned by the same guy who owns the Pirates and he's been a bad owner. Also you pronounced "Primanti" wrong lol

[@attachetravel]

I thought the public transport was great, no complaints. So what is the correct pronunciation of Primanti? 🤔

[@frednich9603]

@@attachetravel the "man" in primanti is pronounced like "man" not "mon"

More than a decade ago, I went to Pittburgh to visit Pitt, and stopover on my way to OSU. There no local restaurants then. Just chains like Applebees. The area with all the buildings had no restaurants. We asked around, and no body could tell us where to eat. They told us go to outskirts of suburbs to strip malls.

[@Micheleh2o]

Oh, how I wish you ran into me back then!

As a long-time viewer currently based in PA, based on the other destinations you've covered so far on this channel, I was pleasantly surprised to see you make a stop in and a guide to Pittsburgh 😸Thanks for making this guide ❤ A bit of feedback: 15:55 "take the tax, and double it" - This is ultimately a nitpick in light of automatic gratuity, precalculated tips, and/or just pulling out the phone calculator, but sales tax in Pittsburgh iirc is 7% (6% for PA state sales tax, and 1% for Allegheny County). Doubling that would make for 14% tip pre-tax, which is below the 15% hard minimum earlier shared. I don't know if I'd change the advice given sales taxes in places like NYC (and I think Texas?) approach 9%, but I figured it'd be worth highlighting that the rule of thumb, being a rule of thumb, doesn't always perfectly hold 😅 Keep up the awesome work 🙌

[@attachetravel]

That's a great piece of feedback, thanks! ☝️Listen to this guy, people!
