Christmas in the Steel City

Looking forward to heading to the Burgh for my 3rd straight year.

Flying in on Christmas Eve and staying until Boxing Day. (Do Americans call the 26th Boxing Day?)

Can't wait for the game on Sunday. We win and the division is ours!

Question to those out there, anyone know what time stores and markets will close down, for instance in the strip district, on Christmas eve (Saturday)?

Also any suggestions on where to find a good Christmas Dinner after the game Sunday night?

 

Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking. The last two trips I haven't seen a lot open late in the downtown area.

Thanks! I love the Burgh. 3 years now in a row, hoping to make it a yearly tradition.

 

What a great Christmas experience in Pittsburgh this year!

Had a couple of great experiences @ Primanti Bros - Always special!

On Christmas Eve, me and a couple of friends were walking by the Omni William Penn hotel and saw they were blocking the street off. We stuck around and didn't all the Steelers players and coaches pull up one by one! Great experience. Most of the guys were all business. Tomlin, Foster, Cockrell, Shazier & Chickillo stood out as acknowledging the small crowd. Chick actually came over and took pictures and signed autographs for people.

Had a great game day. Did the walk from downtown over towards the stadium. Another great time at the Grille 36 pre-game. Great time at the AE Stage too. Unbelieveable time at the game in section 108. Great people. Pulled out a fantastic win!

That was 3 years in a row to the Burgh, this one certainly being the most special. Don't know the next time I'll get back, but keep on being great Pittsburgh! Love ya!
