| - I've been a huge fan of this little piece of the Burgh ever since I was a kid. My dad would take me down here every Thursday to gather food for Sunday supper. First stop was Allasandria Sausage, sadly gone now, but their homemade hot sausage was amazing. Next stop was Penn Mac, olive oils, hunks of Parm and Romano cheese for topping pasta. Flour and eggs for my great Grandmother's home made pastas.
Needless to say, the strip has a soft spot in my heart. Today, the strip is an eclectic collection of shops, street vendors, bars, restaurants, food trucks, t shirts, sports memorabilia, bakeries, coffee and ethnic markets. The Cork Factory condos are here, as well at the Heinz History Center. The original Primanti's Is here, Lidia's, and two of Pittsburgh's top breakfast spots Pamala's and DeLuca's.
A favorite of almost all locals, if you're a visitor there are two streets in Pittsburgh you must explore, Carson Street on the South Side and the Strip District's Penn Ave.
