places to eat for a family

WE will be going to the Pirates VS Cards game on a Friday night. We are staying at Quality Inn across the brigde from the stadium. Are there any Subway resturants to eat there? Or maybe a buffet that doesnt cost a lot? Also what is there to see or do before crossing over the bridge or after crossing over? When we went to the Reds game we stayed in Newport KY and before we walked acrossthe Purple People Bridge there was a little shopping area with shops and food, anything like that here?

Thanks

Where are you staying? The Choice Hotels website lists only two Quality hotels in the Pittsburgh area. These hotels are located on the Boulevard of the Allies in Oakland and Mansfield Avenue in Greentree, both a few miles from PNC Park -- not what one would consider as being ';across the bridge from the stadium.';

The subway website lists about 50 locations in the Pittsburgh area: subway.com/Applications/locator/store.aspx

My favorite place to eat before crossing the bridge to PNC Park is Salonika Gyro on 6th street, about two blocks before the bridge. They have the best gyros anywhere. They are big and stuffed with lots of meat. One fills me up, and they are cheap.

Can you clarify where you are staying? Like the previous poster said, there is no Quality Inn in the downtown area.

I was told that the Quality Inn on Mansfield was across the bridge from the stadium and that we could walk across the bridge and then walk to the stadium. Is this not true??

When I called the hotel to make my reservations they told me that we could walk across the bridge to the stadium instead of drive, is this not true? Is the hotel too far away from the bridge to do this? Is there parking around the bridge? anywhere else that has about the same price per night better to stay at??

You%26#39;re about 4 miles away. Do a google maps, if you don%26#39;t believe me. Maybe the hotel has a courtesy shuttle to downtown?

Yes, it is a few miles outside of town and too far to walk to the stadium. There is usually adequate parking.

If you are comfortable using priceline, you could get a 3 or even 4 star hotel downtown for less than the Quality Inn. But you would have to pay for parking.

hmm. I just e-mailed the hotel and they told me that they do offer a shuttle and walking is kind of far. The person I talked made it sound like no big deal. How much is parking down by the stadium? Do people not walk across the bridge to the game?

Thanks

Maybe we could drive down to the bridge, park there and walk across to the stadium, is this doable? Is there a lot of parking lots to do this on that side of the bridge??

Thanks everyone!!

You can park in a downtown garage for as little as $5. Thousands of people walk across the Clemente Bridge every game when they close it down to vehicles.
