Strip District
Heinz
The Strip District was one of Pittsburgh's first industrial centers; later it became a rail hub for produce. Though trucks still stop at its Smallman Street docks, today the Strip is festive. From morning to mid-afternoon, old and new specialty groceries, restaurants, street vendors and sundry purveyors open for business. Places like: Wholey's, the eating man's aquarium; Pennsylvania Macaroni, whose deli counter takes you around the world in cheese; and La Prima Espresso, a real-live Italian joint that's the best place to call Starbucks a poseur. Fortify yourself with culture at the Heinz History Center and the Society for Creative Craft, because if you stick around for the Strip's merry night, culture will be the furthest thing from your mind. Eleven boasts a classy wine bar, and the enduring 31st Street Pub is where you'll find live booze-and-tattoos punk rock. Around the clock, everyone gorges together on Pittsburgh's famous Primanti's sandwich – with fries and slaw on the inside.
