Pittsburgh Revisited - Day 67

Today, we drove about 325 miles to Pittsburgh. We did Priceline.com and, interestingly, got the same hotel, the Wyndham, that we got in February. So, there is a nice symmetry to this. The first hotel we stayed at on this trip, will also be the last hotel we will stay at on this trip. And, the last time we were here, it was rainy and cold. Today was sunny and pleasant - very Spring-like.

So, we are once again in the University District, called Oakland, in Pittsburgh. It is really pretty and lively. I think we were the oldest people everywhere we went! Pittsburgh is a very livable city, especially for young professionals. It did not suffer the housing bubble and is doing quite well, despite the recession.

We walked on a quest for a particular Indian restaurant. When we got there, it was not yet open, so we wandered into an rare book store and bought two Nantucket-related books. Then, we decided not to go to that particular restaurant as it was a bit expensive. A couple of people recommended another Indian restaurant a little further away. So, we walked there....and, it was closed on Mondays. Sigh. So, we wandered back toward the hotel and had a kosher hot dog at "The Original" restaurant. Mark has been hankering for a hot dog of late, so it was actually very satisfying.
