With well-preserved buildings dating back to the 1700's, the Mexican War Streets, Heinz Field, PNC Park, Deutschtown and at least a day's worth of museum hopping between the Warhol, Mattress Factory and others, the North Side is the perfect sightseeing destination for newcomers and residents alike.
