Food We’ve Made Famous

No restaurant better represents Pittsburgh than Primanti Brothers. Designed to help feed truckers making deliveries in the Strip District nearly a century ago, the restaurant put its sides (fries and coleslaw) on the sandwich so a whole meal could be enjoyed in one bite. Since then, coleslaw and fries on sandwiches has become a unique Pittsburgh foodie trademark. APTA rail attendees can easily visit the Market Square location or the original Strip District location by venturing via public transit or on foot.
