| - The Strip is one of my favorite places to visit to window shop for specialty foods and goods. Come here early on a Saturday and walk up and down the street, sampling street food, produce, and plenty of Pittsburgh sports gear. My favorite spots include Pennsylvania Macaroni Company, where you will find a vast supply of Italian imported goods along with gluten free and allergen free pastas, chocolates, and meats. Stop by Sam Bok, an Asian market that has a chicken-on-a-stick grill outside that also serves mung bean cakes and other Asian street foods. I have been going there for years and it is still an incredible treat. The Strip is also home to the original Primanti's sandwich shop location (fries, coleslaw, choice of meat, all on Mancini's delicious bread!), so if you are visiting Pittsburgh, stopping in is a must.
You will also find my favorite concert venue in Pittsburgh, Altar Bar, in the Strip district, which is inside of an old church. If you're feeling old school, walk towards downtown and go to Eide's and browse old records, comic books, and collectibles.
