Staying at Embassy suites down town
Saturday Morning Breakfast at Pamela's or Deluca's (leaning to Pamala's), Walk the strip and for sure visit Yinzers, Albert's gifts, Wigle Whiskey, Pittsburg Winery, Heinz History Center
Lunch at Primanti Bros
Dinner at Vallozzi's
Sunday, breakfast somewhere in rout to Heinz field, walk to Heinz experience game day and then to Raven's game.

After game up in the air...will need beer and food in route back to hotel. I'd like to got to Peppis for "Rothlessburger" but really don't want to Uber. I'd rather find something on the way. Am I OK skipping Rothlessburger?
 
Yea. You can make a Roethlisberger at home.
 
Go to Deluca's. Ask for Barry as your waiter. GREAT guy!

there is a Peppi's within walking distance of the stadium

The one on Western Avenue is the original location ..
 
Excellent.
Wigle is great stuff, the regular rye whiskey but they experiment with other things. Their limoncello is as good as any I've had from Italy. My son is one of the people who gives tours there on Saturday.
On the way back from the stadium there are lots of good places to eat on 6th St, 7th St., and 9th St. Heard good things about Meat & Potatoes and Proper Brick Oven & Tap Room. Lots of places to eat in Market Square including another Primanti's and the Original Oyster House if you like seafood (I don't) which is ancient Pittsburgh and old as dirt.

The Original Oyster House was the Mafia guys' headquarters in the 1992 movie "Innocent Blood", which I can't recommend as a movie except in the sense that it's so bad it's funny, but I have it on good authority that the scenes filmed in the basement are indeed the actual basement of the Oyster House.



You will note that a number of the actors were seen later in "The Sopranos".
 
Tube Sox..
They have 180 on the books for Saturday night.
Need to make reservation if you haven’t already done so.
 
Also anyone who comes to Pittsburgh preset up a door dash app on your phone. You can simply hotel order in if you don't feel like venturing out say after a game.

I sometimes order Peppi's delivered among many other options............
 
Enjoy Tubesox!

I hope you actually wear some w/ Larry Bird shorts to the game...
