Restaurant and Food Truck Options in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Downtown Pittsburgh is compact and charming, hosting corporate centers, a cultural district, hotels, and great restaurants, as well as a state park and several stadiums just across the river. The city is surrounded by tree clad hills and small towns, each with their own unique feel. The winters aren’t as bad as they once were, but be prepared to go weeks without seeing the sun. Pittsburgh is in the top 5 rainiest cities of the US, and summers can be hot and humid. The people are nice and there is not a lot of crime. It’s safe from earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes (for most part). Be prepared to see a lot of wildlife in the urban suburbs, as they inhabit the hillsides where there are no buildings, such as deer, turkey, coyote, and the occasional bear. Great place to raise a family, with lots of parks and outdoor activities available. The cost of living is very reasonable, and housing is still affordable.

Those moving to Pittsburgh should know it is a city that is often underestimated and deserves a second look. Whether you love sports, architecture, theatre, fine dining, or a bike ride along the waterfront, Pittsburgh is your town! If you come for a visit, ride the incline up to historic Mt. Washington, or take a trip down the river on the Gateway Clipper. Many of my friends have moved away to other cities, and almost all of them have returned because they missed it so much!
