My Air B'n'B is booked, and I have my tickets ordered (thank you, Rhody).
In 35 days, the A10 Tournament will start.
Now I'm looking at things to do in Pittsburgh while there...

Did you know that the St. Patrick's Day Parade will be downtown on Saturday the 14t?

PS - I'm not a runner, but there's also a pre-parade 5K
 
We've been to Pittsburgh a couple of times over the last couple of years and have very much enjoyed it. The Warhol Museum was surprisingly excellent (even though he is not among my favorite artists), the National Aviary is awesome, and both of the Carnegie museums (art and natural history) are terrific can can fill a day. If you are an architecture buff, a trip to Fallingwater is a must, although it is far enough out of town that it might be difficult to arrange around basketball games.

Considering location, food, and expense, my #1 recommendation for a nice dinner is Bar Marco. Excellent Italian, but very small so reserve early.
 
Go to North Shore Tavern and get the Steak on a Stone.
You're welcome!

- North Shore Tavern

Our signature menu item, Steak on a Stone, has taken the North Shore by storm and delivers a unique dining experience.

The Carnegie Science Center, now Kamin Science Center, is fun as well.

For the wine enthusiasts, take a short drive to Gibsonia and visit Anna Marie’s Winery. The dry reds and whites are surprisingly decent, but stay away from that sweet crap. They serve great pizzas and have a decent on tap beer selection.

I should have mentioned it. More of a kids' science museum as I recall, but seems like a fun family diversion
 
Mrs. B grew up outside of Pittsburgh and raves about Dee Jay's BBQ. She says that the Pittsburgh Penguins players used to be regulars back in the '80s-'90s.
After all these years, we plan to visit this time. We have an inside bet, putting her Dee Jay's up against the BBQ I grew up with in St. Louis, Missouri. We'll see.....
