Ethnicity

Pittsburgh has over 60 diverse ethnic communities. The people of Pittsburgh love sharing their culture, traditions, festi-
vals and food. On any given weekend, you will find the Strip District bustling with visitors buying all types of ethnic deli-
cacies. The city does a great job of maintaining a balance between big city aspirations and small village charm. A writer
for the New Yorker once said, “If Pittsburgh were in the heart of Europe, tourists would eagerly journey hundreds of miles
out of their way to visit it!”
