Now I know why this was featured on every travel site about Pittsburgh. It's what is known in the trade as \""tourist trap.\"" Surely Pittsburgh could have come up with a more original way to showcase its riverfront and the Clinton Furnace than importing Chicago's chains: Joe's Crab Shack, Bar Louie, Houlihan's. The only local restaurants were, unfortunately, closed during our visit, so we were forced to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe. What could we do? There was nothing around for at least a mile after we took the inclines. My children enjoyed the fountain, but I couldn't wait to leave.
