Follow The Celebs To: Pittsburgh PA For Food - Sports - Attractions

Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: An All-American Road Trip . . . with Recipes! (Food Network)Love watching the Food Network shows like Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and The Best Thing I Ever Ate? It's time to follow Guy Fieri and all the other Food Network celebs, and try out the food they are raving about.

At the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, which form the Ohio River, lies Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, and with so many rivers it's no wonder one of it's monikers is "The City of Bridges".

If you need an excuse to venture out for new food, sports is one way.  Pittsburgh has three "Big Four" sports teams - the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL, Pittsburgh Pirates (MLB), and the Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL).

Some of the unique local attractions include the Duquesne Incline, as well as the National Aviary. But whatever the reason, use our map below to try something different.
