Pittsburgh Magazine is more than the region’s premier
lifestyle magazine. Since 1969, Pittsburgh has been both
our hometown and our inspiration. We stay rooted
in our heritage but, like Pittsburgh, we are constantly
reinventing ourselves. So today, Pittsburgh Magazine is
much more than a monthly magazine. We’re an awardwinning branded platform that connects our loyal
readers to a fascinating city while creating a trusted
environment for advertisers to reach Pittsburgh’s
most influential and affluent consumers.

Last Laugh
BY VIRGINIA MONTANEZ | ILLUSTRATION BY WAYNO
Average monthly unique visitors
I’ve been given the Pittsburgh Left … and I’ve
given it many times.
Because my husband had done all of his
driving in Mexico before moving here, he assumed
the Pittsburgh Left was the American Left. So
when we would drive in other cities, he would
say things including, “Why won’t that guy turn
already? I’ve waved him on and flashed my lights.”
And the other drivers probably were saying,
“What is this guy trying to tell me? Are my highbeams on? Is my car on fire? A hawk on my roof?
What?!”
Once in North Carolina when we were stopped
at a light waiting for the left-turn signal to go
green, my husband actually said, “They don’t
need a left-turn signal here. Why don’t they
just let people make the left against the moving
traffic?”
And that’s when I realized he didn’t know
the Pittsburgh Left lives in Pittsburgh, where it
probably never uses its turn signal.
Unless it starts being enforced, the Pittsburgh
Left isn’t going away. You can have it and our
parking chairs when you pry them from our cold,
dead Terrible Towel-twirling hands.
But as one Redditor pointed out, the
Pittsburgh Left “used to be something you were
given ... Somewhere along the line it became
some kind of taken-for-granted right.”
A. Men.
What does that mean? It means when the light
turns green, if you have not been waved on or
otherwise signaled by the right-of-way driver that
you may proceed with your left turn first, you should not dart in front of the
oncoming traffic like a suicidal deer.
[Suddenly, everyone in Mt. Lebanon perks up: “Did she say ‘deer?’”]
When we start TAKING the Pittsburgh Left instead of ACCEPTING
it when given, bad things happen. Accidents. Anger. Squealing brakes.
Middle fingers. Insurance deductibles. Starting quarterbacks on
motorcycles admitted to UPMC Mercy while fans with questionable grips
on reality set up grills in the parking lot, tailgating as if it’s the Steelers’
season opener.
Give the Pittsburgh Left if you like, accept it if given ... but never, ever
just TAKE it.
Pittsburgh has lots of things wrong with it. Other than the weather,
those things can be fixed … such as bringing some courtesy back to the
Pittsburgh Left.
If you don’t agree, don’t let the Gateway Clipper hit you in the butt on
your way out. PM

I’m certainly not (much of a) Pollyanna when it comes
to Pittsburgh. I see its faults; I love it in spite of them.

he owners of Leona’s have done a masterful job of revamping the ice-cream sandwich,
using slabs of nearly lactose-free, homemade ice cream with made-from-scratch cookies.
Creative flavor and color pairings further up the ante. Two seasonal selections include the
blueberry ice cream on oatmeal lace and raspberry on snickerdoodle. If you spot the ladies
around town with their ice cream tricycle, be sure to stop; these summertime classics are worth every
calorie and penny. [leonaspgh.com; products also sold at select area shops] — Kristina Martin
ecently, a Redditor with the
ironic handle Pgh_is_cool
asked, “What is your leastfavorite thing about living
in Pittsburgh?” His or her
query was rewarded with
approximately 600 responses from other
Redditors complaining about everything from
the dearth of reliable public transportation
(amen!) to “people here are not nice.”
I’m sorry, but if you think Pittsburghers are
not friendly, I’m going to have to assume you’re
Tom Brady.
There were complaints about the lack of
turn-signal use (testify!), residents’ distaste
for crossing rivers to dine or attend functions
(witness!) and the cornucopia of drunken
suck that is Carson Street on a weekend night
(preach!).
Pedestrians being forced to risk their lives
while using a crosswalk.
Potholes.
The weather.
The Squirrel Hill Tunnel. (I swear that
wasn’t me.)
“The sports.” (Huh?)
“Unjustified pride.” “Low self-esteem.”
(Which is it?)
“Total lack of any solid music scene.”
(Pittsburgh’s music scene is fantastic. This is
insane. I feel as if I’m taking crazy pills.)
It since has been deleted, but I was even
mentioned: “PittGirl. Ugh.” (I’ll bet that was
Luke Ravenstahl.)
On and on it went. Complaint after complaint. That IS what Pgh_is_cool
asked for; the responders simply were complying with the request.
I’m certainly not (much of a) Pollyanna when it comes to
Pittsburgh. I see its faults; I love it in spite of them, and I try to support
the people in the city who are working to improve it. So this isn’t a column
about these complaints being unjustified — because many of them are
(except the dig at me; I’m a delight), and it’s not a column I’ll close with
snark such as, “Don’t let the incline hit you on your way out, whiners.”
Instead, let’s talk about one thing in particular that appeared a few
times in the comments: the Pittsburgh Left. [Wilhelm scream]
I’m not so deep into the crazy pills that I’m going to tell you we need
to outlaw the Pittsburgh Left. Besides, it’s not a legal maneuver as it is.
It’s like Parking Chair Law. Doesn’t exist. It’s not on the PennDOT driver’s
license test. It simply is this: turning left at a stoplight in front of oncoming
traffic. We just put an innocuous-sounding name to it and made it a Thing.

f flying your sweetheart to Tuscany for a weekend to celebrate Valentine’s Day isn’t a realistic option, consider a drive to West Deer
Township instead. Start with wine-tasting and a romantic dinner at the Tuscan-villa inspired Narcisi Winery [narcisiwinery.com]. The
spinach and artichoke dip, pasta entrées and signature tiramisu served in its restaurant pair with a bottle of the winery’s beloved, versatile
Riesling. For your overnight stay, check into the nearby Sun & Cricket [sunandcricket.com], a resort-style B&B tucked into a pristine 35-acre
estate. Sleep in Saturday and wake up hungry for the fabulous three-course breakfast, spend the afternoon cuddling by the fire or indulging in a
massage — or head outdoors to explore the scenic horse trails and local antique shops. Then it’s time for more candlelight and fine cuisine at the
exquisite Tuscan Inn [thetuscaninnzc.com]. Don’t fret if the 14th is booked. Sun & Cricket owner Tara Bradley-Steck says, “February’s one of our
busiest months. Any day can be Valentine’s Day.” — Elvira DiPaolo-Hoff
