“Pittsburgh is back with a vengeance as a refreshed locus of modern industry, with its tech boomlet buoyed by Google’s mini-hub headquarters, Uber’s super-future self-driving vehicle technology and Carnegie Mellon’s world-famous robotics and engineering labs,” says Lonely Planet.
“The promise of forward-thinking careers and a seriously good-value lifestyle has started to attract many newcomers to the city; it’s even encouraged the locals who fled to other cities to return home.”
And the dining scene has seen a resurgence as well.

Their take on “the edible side of Notorious P.I.T.” includes more than just the usual suspects (Cure, Morcilla and, yes, Primanti’s). The Ace Hotel’s Whitfield gets a nod, as do DiAnoia’s Sunday brunch pizzas and täkō’s bold “So-Cal surf-shack flavors.”
Also mentioned: 1902 Eatery, Apteka and Smallman Galley.
