what's so great about these fries? like a crispy fry with vinegar and salt thing?

No, not like boardwalk fries, just normal fries.  I admit it might just be some nostalgia at play, but it's a necessity anytime we go to Kennywood.

so update me on what to do in Pittsburgh on the Saturday between shows....I know there is that pierogi festival but what else?

I couldn't find any obvious concerts or baseball games, etc.

I've never been to Pittsburgh before so I'm clueless

We haven't finalized anything yet, but are looking at the Andy Warhol museum and National Aviary. 

Warhol museum is fantastic!

My wife and I are driving into town the day of the night 1 show and probably going to be late for merch. Is anyone willing to grab me an extra poster, sticker, pin and token (and license plate if they are gonna have them)? I can meet you somewhere after the show or the next day. I can either pay you for them or pick up merch for you if you are going to Atlanta or night 1 of Nashville and don’t want to wait in line one of those days. Thanks in advance!

Pgh guy! I will be able to do early merch for night 1. I'm going to Atlanta shows but based on what I heard about Florida shows I will be out of luck for night 1. I'm willing to work with you.

There’s a Capitol grill downtown. We don’t really have any unique steakhouses.. Hyde Park on the north shore by PNC park, and a Ruth’s & Morton’s downtown.

Any recommendations for bars?  Prefer neat whiskey but open to all recommendations.

Bridges & Bourbon in the strip district has a good selection, Maggie’s Farm in the strip is decent too.. The Warren downtown. But they’re all expensive.

My house has a real smorgasbord of Kirkland Signature whiskey!

Is there a location  yet for the wishlist pre party?

I have a pair of 100s for Pitt N2. 

Will trade for 1 GA N2  (and cash difference for my second ticket).

I haven’t seen anything posted about the location yet. Unfortunately, all of the bars closest to the arena are dive bars and/or very small and in my experience, they are always wall to wall full of people going to a show, a hockey game, etc. It’s going to be a tough decision where to hold the Wishlist parties.

Are there any good places to eat in the area?
I don't mind a good dive bar as long as food is decent.
