  • I fell in love with Pittsburgh with my first visit (**and this review is based solely on my 2 visits**). Cited as America's "Most Livable City", this former "Steel City" is now the latest hotspot for the food and tech industry. Prices are affordable (heck I was able to eat at upscale restaurants at the same cost of eating at a casual/nice restaurant in NYC!) The first time, I took the Megabus* here (8 hours) and got here pretty late. The second time, I took the Amtrak (9 hours). Most stores were closed when I arrived (8-9pm) but I felt somewhat safe walking through the Cultural District although there were some questionable people lingering by the bus stops or corners. Nothing I don't see much in NYC. Public buses run pretty frequently for $2.50 each ride (more if traveling past the first zone). UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center) is the largest employer in the area. Their office building is part of the skyline. Unlike NYC, the skyline is very well controlled and has a clean look. The three rivers (Ohio, Allegheny, and Monongahela) converge at the iconic fountain at Point State Park. PSP is more than just a park surrounded by water. There are promenades and fresh green lawns all around. Best of all, the view of Pittsburgh is beautiful from here, especially in the daytime/early evening. For a nighttime view, I highly recommend the Dusquesne Incline across the river. They have red cable cars going up and down the hill ($5 roundtrip) and operate until 12:45am on weeknights! Oakland and Shadyside are also very nice. Pittsburgh may be a small city but it has everything to keep an urban girl happy. I loved the sweet and cozy feeling that warms my city heart as I walk down the streets or up the hills (reminds me of San Francisco). I can definitely understand why Pittsburgh is ranked as America's most livable city and one of the 10 most unexpectedly romantic cities in the world (Forbes). Driving around downtown is a pain though since Google Maps has some satellite issues. -------- *Megabus arrives and departs in front of the West Lobby of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, a little bit north of the Penn Ave & 10th Street intersection noted on their ticket confirmation page.
