Pittsburgh Cars & Coffee

He was very nice. He had some neat changes to the car. It was very clean and pretty low mileage too! A 95...
I tried convincing ^^^ (Nsx lite ) to invest in the NSX instead of going lambo by swapping cars with him for a 5 minute drive. .
We'll know in time if it worked...

Hey, I am coming to Pittsburgh on Wednesday afternoon. Anyone up for a quick coffee/catch up? PghMiller...I'd love to see your car.
Did he say where he lives? I've seen a red 95+ driving around my mother's condo sub in Cranberry/Freedom area but have yet to run into her and say hi. Maybe this is her husband?

I have plans after work Wed but let me know if something comes together, maybe I can stop by for a bit. Are you staying near downtown?
Yes, am at the Marriott downtown. If we don't connect this trip, there is always another.
You could help a guy out and recommend some places to go (dinner, etc.) I will probably go for a long run while there (am hopeful to run by PNC Park, etc.

I live across the river from downtown. How long are you here and is there anything in particular you'd prefer or need to stay away from? Have you had the Pittsburgh primanti brothers sandwich yet. Always a tourist starter food.
Mike what Lambo and criteria are you leaning towards?
Yeah, Primani's is an option. I was thinking I'd go for a run and then eat...maybe something healthy like a steak?
If you are around, I would love to say hi/see your car.
Rats rats rats...Wed I'm tied up but I live 5 minutes away from downtown across the Monongahela River in the South Side. I'd really like to meet up but also, my car is currently kept at a relative's garage in Cranberry while I finish some renovation work here... Do you pass thru here for work often? Hopefully later in the summer I'll have mine here.
The original Primanti's is nearby you, within walking distance. If you've never had one, you really should. I recommend roast beef, egg, & cheese, with a packet of their hot sauce. If you've had one though I'd say try something different - if you want steak...how about ground steak...Pittsburgh's best hamburger is also pretty close at Tassaro's in Bloomfield, highly recommended. I need to stop by there, it's been over a year for me. I don't know where to suggest for a steak since PGH's best steak is in my kitchen via cast iron pan! Morton's is downtown, as is Ruth's Criss. Yelp will help you out, easily. But I suggest Tassaro's, they're purty good.
I'm guessing you've looked into running options, I'm friends with too many runners here. I'm really a biker but I pay attention to where they run since it's also good for a casual ride after work now & then. In case you haven't looked - running along the river is a good option. Lots of interconnected trails up/down the rivers. I think the network is called the Three Rivers Heritage trail(s). Running by the stadiums is cool (north side of Allegheny River) and access is easy from downtown, just cross a bridge - best would be the Roberto Clemente bridge near PNC park; access to the running trail is easy from there. .

go to http://meatandpotatoespgh.com/ for sure.
Blush has a great lunch buffet :smile:
^ lol. Nice.
Tessaro's good. I like el gaucho a lot, but I think they're currently down for renovations.
There is also capital grill and hyde park near downtown as well, if you're going for a steakhouse.
meat and potatoes is supposed to be good, but I love the view from the beer garden at sienna mercado (food is just okay on their first floor...neat though)

So, I had lunch at The Commoner today (sort of a basement place in the Hotel Monaco...highly recommend it.)
I looked up Blush on my work computer and ...well...thanks PGH Miller. I am probably going to get the IT police calling me and writing me up. But, it was fun for the split second before I realized what I was googling.
Next time I am back, I am going to look you guys up. I really dig towns like Pittsburgh.
Oh, and if you are local and can read today's local paper, look at the "Random Acts of Kindness" letters on page two, section one. Someone just got "served" and is probably going to be dumped by his girl soon.

The blush story is amusing. at least it wasn't pegasus (search at your own risk).
I've never never been to the commoner. I'll have to check it out.
Also, Depending on the paper, what you're referencing may be on the website. Otherwise, you should snag a photo...

Commoner is excellent! i get sandwiches from their corner shop for lunch sometimes. Glad you had a good time in Pitt!

For those of us on facebook, please join our Pgh NSX page, because i'm sure all of us on are facebook MUCH more than on here... plus it's WAY easier to communicate because our Prime inboxes get maxed out to capacity.

We are planning a NSX convoy to the next Cars N Coffee meet this Saturday... we'll meet up somewhere so we can pull into the meet at the same time and park together. and i'll make sure the 2 videographer guys are ready, i'll call them just before we get there.
But I suggest we use the facebook page for Pgh-specific discussions.. it's just an easier platform to use than this junky forum

This'll be the first C&C I'm going to, got space in your convoy for an Ohioan?
Of course! We just need to figure out a time a location to meet just before arriving.
meet starts at 9...Bryan if we roll in right at 9, I assume there'll still be enough empty space for us to park together?
Yeah 9 is fine, 930 is packed!
so where are we meeting? I don't know the area that well... as few left turns as possible would be good, easier to stick together that way.
That might be a bit early for me, sorry...
I used the Sheetz that is just south of Generoasta (a left turn to get to Generosta lot with an arrow)
There is also a open parking lot in cranberry by Radioshack that could probably be used, but I don't know what one can do while waiting for others (straights only, and easier for the Ohio-an, since it's right by the Turnpike intersection w/ 79).
I should see you guys there.
