In the morning we visited Mount Washington which affords spectacular views of Downtown Pittsburgh. We rode the Monongahela incline down to Station Square where we had brunch at The Grand Concourse, located in the former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Train Station. After an afternoon visit to the Oakland District, home to The University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University and Schenley Park, we headed to Heinz Field where Dick and Torey hosted a great tailgate party before the ND-Pitt game which, sadly, the Irish lost.

Grand Concourse Restaurant, Station Square

Occupying the former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Station, Grand Concourse represents an unmatched dining experience and a historical excursion. Constructed in 1901 and still possessing the original look, the station’s accents of brass, marble and mahogany create Pittsburgh’s most unique dining experience

Duquesne Incline

The Duquesne Incline is an inclined plane railroad, or funicular, located near Pittsburgh's South Side neighborhood and scaling Mt. Washington. Designed by Samuel Diescher, the incline was completed in 1877 and is 800 feet (244 m) long, 400 feet (122 m) in height, and is inclined at a 30 degree angle. Originally steam powered, the Duquesne Incline was built to carry cargo up and down Mt. Washington in the late 19th century. It later carried passengers, particularly Mt. Washington residents who were tired of walking up footpaths to the top. Inclines were then being built all over Mt. Washington. But as more roads were built on “Coal Hill” most of the other inclines were closed. By the end of the 1960s, only the Monongahela Incline and the Duquesne Incline remained.

The Point, Pittsburgh

Point State Park (locally known as The Point) is a Pennsylvania state park on 36 acres in Downtown Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA, at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, forming the Ohio River.Built on land acquired via eminent domain from industrial enterprises in the 1950s, the park opened in August 1974 when construction was completed on its iconic fountain. Pittsburgh settled on the current design after rejecting an alternative plan for a Point Park Civic Center designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
