Amazing build-your-own burger joint with more options for meat, bread, and toppings than you can even think of. The spiked milkshakes are pretty awesome too.

Drinks & Nightlife
Carl's Tavern
3386 William Penn HwyQuiet dive bar. Pretty good draft selection and decent food.
Jack's Bar Southside
1117 E Carson StPittsburgh's ultimate dive bar.
Probably the best drinking spot downtown, day or night. Three levels with different menus on each, but the roof top deck seems to be the favorite. Good drinks, good food, great scene.

A personal favorite. Extensive selection of whiskey and bourbon and good American food. The adjoining bar, Tako, is the basically the same exact thing except with tequila and Mexican food and is also very good.

My favorite cigar bar in the city in terms of atmosphere (kinda like a speakeasy). The selection from their humidor isn't very extensive so I usually bring my own.

Entertainment & Activities
Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium
7370 Baker StThey have polar bears. Enough said.
Even if you don't like baseball, the stadium is awesome and the area around it is a great place to hang out on game days. Federal Street and the Clemente Bridge are closed to traffic and host a huge block party with live music. Lots of bars and food options around too and tons of people.
