Where should I go for the best pizza in Pittsburgh?|106655

I will be in Pittsburgh this weekend for the Cleveland game and want to eat the best pizza Pittsburgh has to offer. Also any other suggestions on places to go Saturday before the game. I am taking my 14 year-old son. He has never been to Pittsburgh before. Thanks a ton.

Mineo_s Pizza in the Squirrel Hill section of the city. It_s quite good. :)

For fun on Saturday with your son, I_d suggest going on a Duck Tour (although it may be pretty cold)! They depart from Station Square.

Have fun in the _burgh! (Go Steelers!)

What are a few good bars in downtown Chicago?|116686

I will be staying with a few friends at the Omni on N. Michigan Ave. I would like to know of any good bars/clubs nearby that have reasonably priced drinks. We will be going out on Friday night. I_m not interested in any shoulder-to-shoulder, survival of the fittest trendy clubs, but also not a run down old tavern with no young people. Something with a happy medium. Where we can possibly meet younger women without being completely overwhelmed and intimidated by giant tools on spring break. All suggestions are welcome.

This website is the best! It will give you up to date info on everything that_s happening in Chicago. It will even tell you where all the deals are so you may save a few bucks too.

Well you could hit the Division Street area. LOTS of bars here, so close to each other that if one isn_t to your liking, you can just walk out the door and go the next. Sometimes it_s shoulder to shoulder (particularly the afterwork crowd), sometimes it_s laid back (after 7 or so on a weekday). Lots of women but also lots of older guys trying to hit on the younger women (the area is unofficially known as the Viagra Triangle). But if you_re younger guys, you might have an advantage over the potbellied geezers trying to hit on them.

Here_s a list of bars in that area that you might want to check out:

Some of them are reglar shot-and-a-beer places, some are guys-in-$120-jeans places. Read the descriptions to get an idea.

If you guys are adventerous, you can head to Wicker Park. Lots of bars here as well, but this is more of an indie-band type of crowd (although it has slowly become more popular with the post-frat boy crowd). Lots of bars right next to each other, many with free live bands. (

I personally think some of the best bars of the type you describe are far away from the Michigan Ave. area, but I don_t know if you want to travel so far away from that area.

For decent priced drinks I would suggest Elephant and Castle. I mean nothing will be totally cheap downtown but I_ve been there a few times after work and I didn_t leave broke. They also have great good. It_s located on 160 E. Huron which is actually right across Michigan Ave from the Omni.

Also, Timothy O_Toole is reasonable. That is on Fairbanks and Erie.

just head up to wrigleyville, about 2800 n. clark to 3500 n. clark. TONS of bars and is a young fun crowd with every kind of bar you can think of! Hit www.metromix.com and look up wrigleyville. You will find everything chitown on this site worth doing!

How do I get to the meadowlands from nassau county on Long Island?|118127

I_m going to Bamboozle, a music festival, with friends in may. It_s in East Rutherford, NJ, at Giants Stadium. I_m guessing I_m going to have to take a train into NYC and take a bus from there. Can someone please please please give me all information? I_ve never traveled by train/bus before so it_s all new to me. Thank you in advance!

Most easiest way will be by Long Island Railroad and New Jersey Transit.
Step 1: Take inbound LIRR to last stop, New York (Penn Station)
Take escalator up and follow sign to New Jersey Transit.
Step 2: From ticket veding machine, follow the instruction of my video.
2a. Press English.
2b. Press Meadowlands and Other Promotions, then Adult.
2c.Information about Meadowland comes up and press continue.
2d. Then press Cash and it will cost you $10 roundtrip.
3. Take any outbound New Jersey Transit with symbol _SEC_ Seacus Junction to Seacus Junction.
4. Then follow sign to bus loading area where New Jersey Transit #353 Rail Shuttle Bus to Meadowland Awaits you.
Return trip will be same location.

Take the LIRR westbound to Penn Station. Once there, transfer to NJ Transit. Take any westbound NJT train from Penn Station to Secaucus Junction, where you can then transfer to a shuttle bus to the Meadowlands Sports Complex.

When taking the train from Penn Station, please make sure the destination on the departure board has the initials _SEC_ displayed next to the train number. _SEC_ stands for Secaucus Junction.

A round trip ticket on NJ Transit from Penn Station to Secaucus Junction, which includes the transfer to the shuttle bus cost $10. Please buy you ticket at Penn Station before boarding and hold on to your ticket because you will have to show it to the bus driver when transferring at Secaucus Junction.

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck

Native NY is right but this website may help to.

What is a great place to go camping in California that is fun for partying and allows camp fires?|199501

It is my sister_s 30th birthday and she wants a place where you can have fun and they allow camp fires. Also she would like a place no more than an hour drive from Sacramento.

Samuel P Taylor state park in Marin County is really cool with lots of redwood trees. They have fire pits and all, but because it is a public park, you do have to keep the noise down after 10pm. The other place is called Ladoga. It is off interstate 5 near Maxwell. It_s the only free park in California that is at a lake. To find it you would have to get a good map of that area. It_s really cool, because you just pick a spot and can really stretch out. The down side is there are zero facilities accept outhouses, so you need to bring all your own supplies including water. They have very few restrictions.

What area of NYC would be best to stay in to be close to the major art museums?|182095

My friend and I plan on traveling to New York soon, and we are focusing the trip on visiting the three major art museums in the city: The Met, MOMA, and the Guggenheim. We are totally ignorant of the locations of the different sections of New York, so what area should we book a hotel in so that we are in the best location to easily visit all three of those museums? Thanks!

The Hotel Wales is on the upper east side and is located about fur blocks from the Guggenheim. About eight blocks from the Met. MOMA can be reached by a short ride. You Can go to Lexington Ave at 86th street to take the #6 train down to 51st street. It is a shorter walk on both ends if you take the bus. Go to Fifth Ave and get the #1,2 ,3 or 4 to 53rd street. Turn right on 53rd and you will find the museum on that block.

The hotel is not cheap, but I don_t think that you can find anything in that area that really is.

Besides the three museums that you mentioned, there are more museums in the area as well. The Museum of the City of New York is on Fifth Ave and 103rd street. Between there and the Guggenheim are the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, part of the Smithsonian and the Jewish Museum. A bus trip from 86th Street across the park will put you within a few blocks of the NY Historical Society, the Museum of Natural History and the Planetarium. Near MOMA is the Museum of American Folk Art. About a mikle south of the hotel is the Whitney Museum of American Art. Again best reached by a bus ride down Fifth, or just a stroll down the Avenue. The second link below is a list of NYC museums

You don_t want to be _totally ignorant_ regarding how to get around the city if you_re going to visit NYC. There are plenty of guidebooks, either printed or on line, that will help you get oriented - and it_s very simple, especially if you_re going to be mostly in the Midtown area.

If you go to the websites of these museums, you will find info on how to get there via public transportation, which you should also be familiar with. The transit system maps are in the guidebooks or at the transit authority website.

Those museum are generally in the same area of the city, but you_ll need to know how to get from one to the other. Of course, you can always just grab a cab if you don_t want to bother with logistics.

You_ll want to find a hotel near the south edge of Central Park, preferraly over toward Madison Avenue, since most the museums you_ll want to hit will be a relatively short walk from there. (And so_s the fantastic shopping along Madison and Fifth Avenues.)

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it_s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

Well, if you don_t mind pay a few extra bucks and staying at the hotels along 59th Street. May I recommend a few.

- The Plaza
- The Essex House
- Park Mariden

among others

You can still walk or take the subway to the museums.

Good luck
