Day 3 Breakfast: Square Cafe, Pittsburgh

Square Cafe is worth the trip. Really, the unique dishes will absolutely amaze you. Visit Square Cafe's website to learn more.

Note: The drive from The Knickerbocker Tavern to Square Cafe in Pittsburgh is almost two hours, so we recommend doing the drive after dinner on day 2 and staying overnight in or near Pittsburgh, or at least doing most of the drive the evening prior to avoid having to drive long distances in the morning before eating.

Day 3 Lunch: Primanti Bros., Pittsburgh

Anyone who visits Pittsburgh has to try a Primanti's sandwich, the iconic staple of the region. Where else can you get a sandwich piled high with french fries? That's what we thought. To learn more, visit the website for Primanti Bros. in Pittsburgh.

Day 3 Dinner: TimberCreek Tap & Table, Grove City

Established in 2011, this beloved restaurant is now a Grove City staple. Throw back a few of their expertly crafted beers and pair it with a slice of mouthwatering pizza. Nothing beats this winning combination. To learn more, visit TimberCreek Tap & Table's website.
