Mon Jan 31 14:34:45 -0800 2005 0 nickdanger 1 982562 As a former Pittsburgher, I miss those days...check out Italian hoagies at Salumerias at Reading market, Primos hoagies in center city...Not being originally from Philly, I'm sure I'm missing something... Mon Jan 31 14:38:13 -0800 2005 982560 0 Claire 1 982565 Are you looking for recs in Pitt or Philly? Based on Claire's reply, I'm not certain. If Pitt, go to the Primanti's in the Strip District so in addition to a Primanti sandwich (which I'm admittedly no huge fan of) you can also get a Wholey's (or Benkovitz) fish sandwich (I'm partial to Wholey's) as well as a sausage sub at Pennsylavania Macaroni. It helps if you have companion(s) Thanks, K Mon Jan 31 15:56:21 -0800 2005 982560 0 KOK 2 982566 Pittsburgh's Strip is the final destination. Funny you should mention to have others along; my NY friend said same. I was considering places in addition to Primanti's if I can squeeze in two tastings in between planes, so thanks for the other recs.

You can also hit the Dirty O near Pitt Campus - hot dog joint. Tue Feb 01 08:29:53 -0800 2005 982566 0 Claire 4 982654 Thanx for your posts. Did hear about the "0", but couldn't make it there; instead, had Jr fried fish (cod) sandwich at Wholey's, and baloney and cheese sandwich at Primanti's, with Iron City, which now comes in an aluminum "bottle" (all within 90 minutes before going to the airport) Wed Feb 02 16:30:19 -0800 2005 982587 0 nickdanger 1 982595 Tessaro's in Bloomfield (after strip district if driving away from the city) win's Best Burger award every year. Great potato salad as well. Tue Feb 01 09:30:43 -0800 2005 982560 0 AimeeP
