It’s a rainy weekend here which is bad news because when visiting a city I tend to want to walk around a lot. We’re mostly hanging around the Shadyside-Bloomfield-Lawenceville areas. They seem to be relatively poorer areas of Pittsburgh.
Much of the housing is row-housing and many of the shops are closed. Walking around the streets at night it looked like many of the houses were empty too. Many, maybe most of the houses had no lights on. Although the neighborhoods were very walkable, and it was a nice night, we saw very few other people walking around.
We went to a delicious Indian restaurant last night called “Taste of India”. Doesn’t every city have an Indian restaurant called that? Then we went to a brew pub built in an old church. Although it was impressive to see. It was large and fairly full, but I didn’t think the beer was all that good. We got a sampler and couldn’t get really excited about any of the beers.
Today we’re planning on seeing the strip district. I’m hoping to try one of those Primanti Brothers sandwiches. And tonight we’re going to see something known as OUTrageous bingo which is some kind of bingo/dragshow hybrid.
