Primanti Brothers, Oakland (Primanti Brothers is Pittsburgh icon, famous for its sandwiches on Italian bread loaded up with fries, coleslaw, provolone and tomatoes. The original shop is located in Pittsburgh's Strip District which in years past was a very busy commercial warehouse area . Truckers delivered their goods in the middle of the night and had to get back on the road quickly so the Primanti's designed their sandwich to be eaten with one hand, while the driver drove the truck with the other. By combining the sides with the sandwich, a Pittsburgh staple was born. Of course, the restaurant offers a slightly humorous take on it, offering the explanation that the Primanti brothers simply forgot the plates and forks one day. Primanti Brothers made the list of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die in the USA and was featured in an article in the August 2003 edition of National Geographic magazine.)

Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, Oakland (Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum (or often simply Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall) is a National Register of Historic Places landmark in Pittsburgh. It is the largest memorial in the United States dedicated solely to honoring all branches of military veterans and service personnel. It was conceived by the Grand Army of the Republic in the 1890s as a way for Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to honor the dwindling ranks of its American Civil War veterans. The Memorial today represents all branches of the service and honors both career and citizen soldiers who have served the United States throughout its history. Architect Henry Hornbostel designed the memorial in 1907. Dedicated in 1910, the building is in the Beaux-Arts style and is heroic in scale.)

The VFW-Organized in Oakland in 1914 (The VFW name was created on September 17, 1914 at a conference at the Schenley Hotel in Pittsburgh. The new organization was a merger of two prior veterans organizations, both beginning in 1899: the American Veterans of Foreign Service and the National Society of the Army of the Philippines. The former was formed for veterans of the Spanish–American War, while the latter was formed for veterans of the Philippine–American War.)

Carnegie Library, Oakland--one of thousands of libraries funded by Andrew Carnegie (A Carnegie library is a library built with money donated by Scottish-American businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. A total of 2,509 Carnegie libraries were built between 1883 and 1929, including some belonging to public and university library systems. 1,689 were built in the United States, 660 in Britain and Ireland, 125 in Canada, and others in Australia, New Zealand, Serbia, the Caribbean, Mauritius and Fiji. Few towns that requested a grant and agreed to his terms were refused. When the last grant was made in 1919, there were 3,500 libraries in the United States, nearly half of them built with construction grants paid by Carnegie.)
