I love to go out. I go to Mad Mex for their half-price specials after 11. And sometimes we go to Ritters' Diner or Eat 'n' Park at 3 in the morning. Nothing like greasy pancakes and a gallon of coffee to start your day off right.






I love Pittsburgh. I am from a small rural town in New Jersey, and Pittsburgh is unlike any other city I've been to before, including New York. I usually tell my friends that in Pittsburgh everything you need is right at your fingertips. It can be reached by foot, bus, bike, rollerblades or car.
