S.W. Randall Toyes & Giftes

An old-fashioned toy store, SW Randall is a survivor from Pittsburgh's heyday and worth a visit for its idiosyncratic collection. It is essentially Pittsburgh's version of New York City's FAO Schwarz.

Wiener World
A small hot dog stand tucked on Smithfield St. There are no tables or chairs here, just one small counter inside and an order window facing the street. But the franks are excellent, as are the fries and fish sandwiches.

Alcoa Building
Regional Enterprise Tower
The first all aluminum building ever constructed. It stands 30 stories tall and was built of aluminum panels in 1953. In 2001, Alcoa built a new building on the North Side and no longer occupies this landmark building.

A small dusty shop holding a lot of terrific Pirates and Steelers merchandise, some of it vintage and most of it autographed by the players themselves.
