weekend in Pittsburgh
We're meeting my daughter and fiance in Pgh for a weekend on 11/1. I would appreciate suggestions for shopping and restaurants in the area and a good hotel in which to stay. Thanks!

Oh but don't stay at the airport. Its just a bunch of traffic and malls.
Stay in one of these great neighborhoods: Downtown (at the point), Southside, Northside, Oakland, or Shadyside.
Downtown is the point where the two rivers meet. You can easily get to Station Square and the Strip District (not what you think) for great shops and restaurants.
Southside is up on the mountain overlooking Phg. Great views and pub-crawling.
Northside is north of the river, an older section of town that has some museums and the baseball park.
Oakland is the university area with lots of students and wonderful restaurants on Craig street.
Shadyside is the upscale trendy neighborhood with upscale shops on Walnut street.
