PPG Place and Market Square

By far, the architectural highlight in Pittsburgh is PPG Place.  This plaza is made up of buildings of varying sizes made out of glass.  It looks like the lair of some evil genius in a comic book.

These buildings are of various sizes and house the offices of various corporations.  In the center, is a plaza with different statues that have been donated by various museums in the Pittsburgh area.  This is an area of downtown that I think everyone should see when visiting Pittsburgh.

Right down the street from PPG Place is the Market Square area.  I was a bit disappointed by this area as it was almost devoid of people on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  This square, for pedestrians only, is surrounded by various restaurants and shops.  Unfortunately, half the restaurants are just generic chains.  A Primanti Bros. does exist here, but other than that, I see an area with a lot of potential, but nothing that shouts as a must-visit area.
