Being a Tour Guide for a Friend in Pittsburgh

It happens to most of us.  You’re just minding your own business and then suddenly, you receive an email, text message or Facebook message from a very close friend that you haven’t seen in years.  You probably received a message similar to this:

“Hey!  What’s up?  It’s been a long time!  You’re from Pittsburgh, right?  We’re visiting Pittsburgh on business next month and I was wondering if you want to hang out?  I’ve heard a lot of good things about the city but I don’t know where to go or what to do!  Help!”

Basically, your friend is asking you to play tour guide.  It’s hard to blame them, really.  You’ll probably do the same.  Besides, they just want to meet up with you and catch up.  They also just want you to show them what Pittsburgh fun is all about!  Who are you to say no?

Where exactly can you take your friend?  Well, it’s a good idea to try and remember the things that your friend likes.  Is he a sports fan?  Take your friend to watch a game of one of the city’s major league teams and show him or her what “Steeler Nation” is all about.

Also, it’s a good idea to introduce to him or her to the culture of the city.  You can take him or her downtown in order to see what Pittsburgh is all about.  Treat your friend to a few meals from the most popular restaurants in the city.  You should also shop in some of the most popular shopping districts.  If your friend likes shopping, he or she will enjoy shopping in Pittsburgh.
