On one sunny April afternoon, after catching a ballgame with Big Red at PNC Park, I found myself meandering through the historic streets of Pittsburgh's Deutschtown, turning a simple post-game journey into a delightful exploration. Originally, my plan was practical: park near Allegheny General Hospital and Uber over to the ballpark to dodge the dreaded post-game traffic. Well, technology had other ideas—my Uber app was as uncooperative as a balky slider, so I decided to hoof it instead.
That decision turned out to be a blessing in disguise. As I strolled back to my car post-game, I took in the architectural beauty and old-world charm that Deutschtown has to offer. The neighborhood, with its beautifully preserved Victorian buildings, feels like a step back in time and a breath of fresh air rolled into one.
The impromptu tour led me to Allegheny City Brewing, where I grabbed a quick beer—a fine local brew that hit the spot after all that walking. Then, on a whim, I popped into Max's Allegheny Tavern. It was like visiting an old friend, seeing if the place had changed. Spoiler: it hadn’t much, and that was just fine by me. The tavern still held the timeless appeal that it always did, serving up a slice of Pittsburgh history with every pint.
This little adventure through Deutschtown, spurred by a technological hiccup, turned into a pleasant reminder of the joys of slowing down and appreciating the scenery—literally. It got me thinking, maybe this should be the new game plan: skip the Uber and take in the sights. Especially on nice days, why rush? Pittsburgh’s rich history, especially in a neighborhood like Deutschtown, is worth savoring, not speeding past.
So, next time you find yourself at a Pirates game, consider taking the scenic route. You never know what historical gems or tasty brews you might discover on your way back to your car. And who knows? It might just become your new post-game tradition.
