Pittsburgh

From crafting their own wineglasses at the Pittsburgh Glass Center to the historical Carrie Furnace Tour, Laurita & Lauren make the most of their weekend in Pittsburgh. They stay at The Oaklander and Kimpton Hotel Monaco, enjoy meals and city views at Monterey Bay Fish Grotto and the famous Primanti Bros, and even have time for a ride on the Duquesne Incline and a Pirates baseball game.

Primanti Brothers has been serving up its legendary sandwiches since 1933, right in the heart of Pittsburgh. Originally catering to early-morning produce workers, this iconic spot has grown into a must-visit destination for locals and travelers alike. From classic steak sandwiches like "The Pittsburgh" to newer fan favorites like the Reuben, there's something for everyone.

Explore the iconic Carrie Blast Furnaces, a National Historic Landmark that played a crucial role in Pittsburgh's iron and steel industry. Built in 1907 and operational until 1978, these blast furnaces are among the last pre-WWII examples left in the United States. The site also includes a Black Experience Tour, which shares stories of the Great Migration and the experiences of Black workers.

The Pittsburgh Glass Center offers both beginners and seasoned glass artists the opportunity to create beautiful glass pieces. During their visit, Laurita and Lauren try their hand at creating wine glasses. They also explore the fascinating history of glassmaking in Pittsburgh, a city once responsible for producing over 80% of the nation's glass.

Laurita and Lauren head up Mount Washington to experience the breathtaking views of Pittsburgh and delicious cuisine at Monterey Bay Fish Grotto. This iconic Pittsburgh restaurant, with its floor-to-ceiling glass walls, offers a stunning panorama of the city where the three rivers meet.

From its 446 iconic bridges to the historic Duquesne and Monongahela Inclines, Pittsburgh is a city built to connect people across its scenic, rolling hills. With black and gold colors proudly representing the city and its sports teams, there's no better way to experience Pittsburgh's spirit than with a visit to PNC Park to cheer on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
