While Pittsburgh has its share of Greek food festivals, pierogie sales, all-night diners, and other immigrant-heritage and blue-collar food experiences, it’s a much more cosmopolitan city now than it once was. Its spectrum of restaurants reflects an ever more diverse palette of world cultures embraced by the region (everything from Egyptian to Tibetan), and an array of fine hotels now serve the needs not only of visiting tourists and workers but also of the businesspeople dealing in the city’s burgeoning software, robotics, and health sectors. In short, it’s a fine locale for culinary and hospitality studies.
