More 'Burgh stuff for SPN Pittcon goers
Pittsburgh Goodie of the Day:
Everyone will ask you if you've had a Primanti Brothers sandwich. Make a little time to get one, there are several locations in the 'Burgh and the suburbs. Pittsburgh, where fries and coleslaw are condiments, not side dishes. The story behind the sandwich has to do with where the original Primanti's is located. The Strip District is the hub for everything under the sun, from vegetables to seafood, bread to pasta. Trucks stopped here to off-load their goods. Often the drivers wanted something to take on the road with them. Rather than doing the normal thing and keeping fries and coleslaw separate, the restaurant started putting them on the sandwiches to eliminate the drivers need to need forks to eat the coleslaw. So in a stroke of genius, they decided to add the fries as well to make a meal out of a sandwich.
The closest location to the convention center is the original location at 46 18th Street right off of Smallman Street, the main drag of the Strip District, a 15 minute walk away. The best part? This location is open 24/7 so it is the place to be after the bars close at 2:00 am. Alcohol is served, so if you're going to drink, have your ID. If you look under 30, they're going to card you.
