Description:
SOUTH SIDE. Carson Street Deli turns out true, NYC-style deli sandwiches for reasonable prices. Need more tempting? Try this on for size: the Godfather features imported Dilusso Genoa salami with provolone, oil, oregano, and roasted peppers on a baguette. È buono, indeed! N.B. Not on the South Side but want a shot at one of their delicious sandwiches? |

Description:
SOUTH SIDE. The menu tells of Tessie Mae Hullficker, a woman who turned the family service station into a restaurant to serve her favorite TV dinners and BBQ. Indeed, Double Wide Grill does have a "TV dinner" served on a metal, divided tray, but don't be fooled – the food is nothing like microwave dinners. On weekends, for example, brunch offerings include the mammoth-size Trucker Breakfast (two eggs, meat, and home fries) as well as huevos rancheros, steak & eggs, and the self-explanatory Large Stack O Pancakes. |

Description:
SOUTH SIDE. The staff at this two-story independent bookstore will not only help you find what you're looking for, but they'll also make suggestions and order almost any book you want. Additionally, the store offers free classes, lectures, and readings each month. The place is so helpful, in fact, that Pittsburgh City Paper rated it the Steel City's best local bookstore. |

Description:
STRIP DISTRICT. Chili braised chicken empanadas, conch fritters, and seared rare salmon medallions are a few of the interesting menu choices you may find at this chic Caribbean spot, a reformed nightclub smack-dab in the middle of Pittsburgh's Strip District. Hot and cold tropas (like tapas, with a Caribbean/Asian twang) are the popular choice here. They have an impressive list of tropical cocktails and a good beer selection, and outdoor seating perfect for summer dining. Lots of vegetarian options. Happy hours Mon-Fri offer drink and tropas specials, and you can step right out onto the dance floor if the mood strikes you. |

Description:
STRIP DISTRICT. Primanti Bros. is probably the most famous restaurant in Pittsburgh, and its main location (known as Primanti's on the Strip) is open 24 hours to satisfy even the most dire of sandwich cravings. Their claim to fame is creating an entire meal in a sandwich – in addition to meat, you get fried potatoes and Pittsburgh-style coleslaw (no mayo) right on the sandwich. Regulars suggest the double egg (surprisingly good early in the morning!), pastrami, and cheese steak versions to get an authentic taste of this Pittsburgh favorite. |

Description:
STRIP DISTRICT. Boasting LA swank in the 'Burgh's Strip District, this club will make you feel like a VIP but without the annoying paparazzi invading your privacy. Trendy spenders from all age groups gather to mingle on plush couches that are custom built for indoor and outdoor seating for over 200 guests. An extensive wine and martini list, VIP bottle service and storage, and gourmet tapas prepared nightly until 2am encourage patrons to play on the dance floor and around the bar. Nominally higher prices are more than fair when you consider how cool you'll look among the hotshot fat cats and celebutants of Pittsburgh's elite clubbers. |
