The city of Pittsburgh? Absolutely not.

The surrounding suburbs? Some, absolutely yes. West Mifflin, Monroeville, Robinson.

OMG yes. I literally would rather drive downtown than eat near home at this point... I am getting a bit tired of finding parking though.

Once you find a good garage. You never have to think about parking downtown.

Go to the towns around downtown, like Lawrenceville, squirrel hill, the entire East Side.

Boomers fuckin' loovvvvveeee chains and Cranberry Township is chock full of them. It's like a concert just for boomers, where all their favorite brands are playing.

But, man, in between there are some absolute bangers. Baldwin-Whitehall is rife with tons of different food places. It's kinda ridiculous.

Delco is the opposite side of a pretty big state. The city vs suburb divide is still true in Allegheny county, but if you are new to delco, and not from Allegheny, maybe this isn’t the place for you. These are very different counties, and Pittsburgh and Philly are VERY different cities.

What was their original point? My GF is from Delco and I want to compare their thoughts

Basically they said the delco suburbs are all strip malls with chain places, and that they weren’t expecting that

Not sure why you're comparing the urban center of Pittsburgh to a suburban county. Most cities the size of Philly have suburbs like that.

I said why. I happen to be sitting here and it was just utterly surprising. I've never seen anywhere else like it.

And no, Pitt urban centr, as I said in the beginning, is not a chain based place.

If you want to see one, go to Delco
