I liked the Strip District, but I was not nearly as Blown Away by it as some others. It seems like a great neighborhood for locals to do there ethnic food shopping. But for tourists, I'd say there are far better parts of Pittsburgh if you're short on time. I had dinner at Roland's Seafood. It underwhelmed.
I certainly don't regret my trip to the Strip District but I wouldn't go far out of my way to get here.
