    More Pittsburgh and a Small Pennsylvania Town

    Half a day isn't enough for Pittsburgh, the second most populous city in Pennsylvania.
    Spend your second day here learning more about Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania history. Then, visit the Andy Warhol Museum to see the works of the pop art icon. Cap off your day with a ride on an old wooden cable car at the Duquesne Incline. At the top of the incline, you'll get spectacular views of the Pittsburgh cityskape.
    Before you head home, you'll make a stop in another small Pennsylvania town for dinner.

    Strip District Terminal

    Food
    Get breakfast at Pamela's at the Strip District Terminal.
    There are five locations of Pamela's around the city, but this is the best location. (It's also the one President Obama visited in 2008.) If you drank a lot last night, order the Morning After Breakfast Special, a plate of eggs, breakfast meat, and their specialty crepe-style hotcakes.
    Then, spend some time walking around the Strip District Terminal.
    This was once the Pennsylvania Railroad Fruit Auction & Sales Building, a produce distribution hub for the tri-state area for more than 40 years. Today, the five block-long Strip District is filled with local vendors. Spend some time walking around the area and window shopping.

    S&D Polish Deli

    Food
    Pittsburgh has historically had a large Polish community. After the mid-1800s, many Polish immigrants settled here due to the availability of jobs in the city's burgeoning steel industry.
    It's only right that you stop in the Polish Hill neighborhood for lunch. At S&D Polish Deli, order the pierogies and the haluszki, a dish of egg noodles served with sweet cabbage, onions, and butter.

    Duquesne Incline Parking West Carson Street Pittsburgh

    Park here to ride an old wooden cable car on the Duquesne Incline.
    The Duquesne Incline was initially opened to Pittsburgh residents in 1877. Nearly a century later, a group of local residents restored the incline. Today, the incline is about more than transportation.
    Ride to the Incline's Observation Deck, and you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Pittsburgh and its three rivers. The Duquesne Incline's upper station also has a museum, with the history of Pittsburgh and of inclines around the world.
    You must have exact fare in cash to ride the incline. You cannot book tickets in advance, and you cannot use a debit or credit card. The fare is $5 round-trip for adults, and $2.50 round-trip for children.

    The Boulevard Grill

    Grab dinner at the Boulevard Grill, and then continue your drive.

    Sheetz

    Food
    You can't have spent two days in Pennsylvania without going to Sheetz at least once.
    While this one is technically in Maryland, it's still one of the signature convenience stores common in (and first founded in) Pennsylvania. Make a quick stop, stretch your legs, and grab a snack if you want.
