16 great reasons to visit Pittsburgh
I’ve stopped counting the number of cities I’ve fallen in love with. But I think Pittsburgh might be the first city to have loved me back.
On a Sunday morning in February, the sun broke through rain clouds, and I walked along Pittsburgh’s waterfront to a 10-foot tall bronze sculpture of Mister Rogers tying his shoes. I heard his voice through overhead speakers. “Did you know that wondering about things is one of the first steps to understanding them?” Birds chirped, a freight train rumbled, and I looked upriver toward the sparkling skyline. I’d intended to make this a quick stop, but I couldn’t step away from that familiar voice.
Steel City remains gritty. On dreary days in Western Pennsylvania, the pitter-patter of rain is the soundtrack for a setting that’s scorned for its gruffness, car-eating potholes, legal smoking in some bars and obsession with the 1970s Steelers. And yet. The city is full of gems: world-class art museums, three inviting rivers and cuisine worth writing home about .
After I left Mister Rogers, feeling confident and loved, I went to a community yoga class at the Ace Hotel. In a playful style, the instructor told us to wiggle our fingers like we were “tickling the sun” and stretch our arms like we were “making room for wings to break out.” As light streamed into the ballroom, she ended class by telling us to remember, “You are not only enough, you are almost too much sauce for your own cup.” Thank you, Pittsburgh.
