There’s a lot to love about Pittsburgh. We’re diverse, boisterous, and fraught with some of the most pressing issues of our time. None of that diminishes Pittsburghers’ deep passion and pride for our city, whose story is still being written. Every day, you’ll hear from the team highlighting what makes this beautiful, complex city we call home just a little bit better. Get in touch with us at pittsburgh@citycast.fm.

Podcast Host
A place in my city not enough people know about:
West End Overlook. Amazing views, none of the fuss.
The best TV show about the ‘Burgh:
"The Pitt," obviously. I also loved “Downward Dog.” Every scene was a Pgh love letter.
Something we do better than anywhere else:
Win championships.
Executive Producer
Where I’d take you to eat in the ‘Burgh, and what I’d order:
Apteka, to eat all the vegan schnitzel our hearts desire.
Something we do better than anywhere else:
Throw a fry on it.
Best book about Pittsburgh:
The Belt Cookie Table Cookbook. It’s chock full of recipes for your next Pittsburgh wedding, or just for your personal enjoyment.
Senior Newsletter Editor
A place not enough people know about:
City of Asylum. It’s part book store, part restaurant, and part event venue providing refuge to writers who have been exiled from their own countries.
Where I’d take you to eat in the ‘Burgh, and what I’d order:
Bae Bae’s Kitchen in Downtown, Pittsburgh. I’m ordering the japchae noodles, crispy tofu with plum sauce, and a side of cucumber kimchi.
The tourist trap in town that’s actually great: Pittsburgh’s inclines. Everyone has to take a ride on the incline when they visit town.
Producer
A place not enough people know about:
Allegheny River Trail Park (formerly Allegheny RiverTrail Park), bonus points if there are swings out on the fishing dock!
Where I’d take you to eat in the ‘Burgh, and what I’d order:
Everyday Noodles for noodles (duh), but the soup dumplings are absolutely a must-have.
The tourist trap in town that’s actually great:
Everyone should go to the National Aviary and say hello to Elizabeth, a very curious blue-billed curassow.
Senior Account Executive
A place not enough people know about:
The Government Center, an awesome record store/coffee shop/bar on the North Side.
Where I’d take you to eat in the ‘Burgh, and what I’d order:
I'd take you to Badamo's, and we'd get the best Sicilian-style pizza in the city.
Something we do better than anywhere else:
Make absolutely incomprehensible roads.
