Bojangles Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yeah, so this is one of those threads where I tell you that I'm going to be in Pittsburgh tomorrow and need to find some jazzy things to do until I go to this gallery opening thing in the evening. So, hook a nurga up and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topfloorbasement Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Went to the Bicycle Cafe so far and was pedaling around the south side area. Where the fuck do I buy beer here??? No gas stations or corner stores have it. oh word.. OTB bicycle bar is blocks away from where i am right now.. i gotta piece of (f)art hanging on the wall in the back i can see in that pic.. you gotta buy 6 packs from bars or like pizza shops.. fat heads at carson and 18th has a dope section of beers / make your own 6-pack type deals.. or you can buy cases from distributers.. there's one on 20th or 21st. others bars in s.side to check are or at least the ones i can stand are: dees - between 13th and 14th on carson. smiling moose - same block. ruggers pub - on 22nd, 2 blocks off carson towards the river.. lave lounge is kinda cool too - between 22 and 23rd on carson. there's also a bike trail along the river you can access from 18th street..

topfloorbasement Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 and NOES: i have no clue about travel time as i've never been to boston.. pittsburgh to philly takes about 5.5 hours.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracksmoka Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 yea and philly to boston is like 5 or so... maybe more depending on how you get to ct via ny. Its a pretty long drive, but im heading out to chicago wends and thats 16 in a truck. Anything under 10 really isnt that bad, and under 5 is a breeze to me anymore. Traveling is awesome. Ive been to pittsburgh, it was the type of place i would like to write on things... not the type of place i would want to go for touristy stuff. Primanti bros looked super greasy and gross when i was there... i didnt really eat a sandwhich or anything, but it looked highly unhealthy.

FUCK! that SAMMICH! its like 12 hours, if you're not trying to make that show i'd def. go to Philly first for a few days then head to Pittsburgh, as apposed to driving straight to Pittsburgh. edit: actually i guess it depends on where you'd rather drive home from.
