The Warhol Museum is suite. It's in North Shore (or at least walking distance) and it has a lot of restaurants and the like around it. Some are just bars, some are chain bars, while others are like ... chain bars but attempting to be high class. The Science Center (which has an Omnimax and the Bodies Exhibition going on now) is just on the other side of the stadiums.
Kind of in this order:
Warhol > Bars > PNC Park > Bars/Parking Lot > Heinz Field > Science Center.I live just down the river actually in walking distance, haha. When I go for runs, I touch Heinz Field and come back, haha.
Uhm ... things to do in Pittsburgh. Uhm ... all we do is drink basically. The Strip District is full of clubs where yuppies go, South Side is full of dive bars, horribly place clubs, and just fun places to drink.
If you are going to do the shopping thing, East Carson during the day has some weird antique stores, and the Southside Works has more of a walk around outside mall aspect with some nicer stores?
I am horrible at this.
The one thing I would recommend is to go see the Chihuly Exhibit at Phipps Conservatory in Oakland.
Definitely.

These museums are near some better places to eat (Pittsburgh based, not as hokie as North Shore). I'd check out Craig Street, there are two restaurants I can't think of now that are nice.
Are you going to have internet access in Pittsburgh? There are usually parties and things that are going on like the gallery crawl, but I never usually now until the second of as I just kind of go to places.
Also, do not feel like you have go to a Primiantti's. You're not missing anything, haha.
If you need anymore info, or if you have some set plans and want someone's take on it let me know here or e-mail me.
If anything comes to mind later after this stream of consciousness post, I'll let you know.
