The Tour will start at the top of Mt. Washington(have your camera ready for this stop!), continue to the Cookie Table, one of Pittsburgh’s famous ethnic traditions, and finish at the site of the 1892 Battle of Homestead, where a young struggling union stood its ground against the titans of industry, Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick. Following the Tour we will visit the Strip District, the center of wholesale produce marketing in Pittsburgh, and you will have a chance to wander through the outdoor produce markets, bookstores, ethnic foods specialty shops, fish markets and restaurants.
