Hidden Pittsburgh

Discover 31 Cool and Unusual Things to Do in Pittsburgh

For example:  Canton Avenue, in the Beechview neighborhood of Pittsburgh, is the steepest street in the United States, with a maximum gradient of 37 percent. Though only one-tenth of a mile long, for every 100 feet there is a 37-foot elevation gain. (Although Baldwin Avenue in New Zealand is commonly cited as the world’s steepest street, its gradient is only 35%, but Baldwin’s gradient does continue for longer than Canton’s.)

Check out the interesting spots listed HERE. The next time you have out-of-town guests you can incorporate a few of them in your travels between the more typical places we all show off to visitors. Or you can plan a half-day "tour" for yourself.

Best Places for Kids on Rainy Days 

Pittsburgh has plenty of activities to offer families when it’s nice outdoors, but we all know it won’t be sunny every day in Pittsburgh. Whether you’re a mom, dad, sibling or babysitter, it can be a challenge to keep the kids entertained when outdoors is off limits. 

One of my personal favorites is Wheel Mill - an indoor "park" for mountain and BMX bikes for riders of all experience levels with friendly staff and riders. My 11-yr old grandson loves it! Click here to see the list of interesting places compiled by Pittsburgh Magazine.
