As you gather around the table this week for Thanksgiving dinner and share what you’re thankful for, chances are you’ll say things like family and friends. Of course that may be true, but every Pittsburgher has other items on their list they may not get to share. We put together some of our favorite only-in-Pittsburgh things we are thankful for…  and we all know Pittsburghers are thankful!

1. Dippy eggs

Because who doesn’t love the nice runny center?

2. The HOV lane on the Parkway North

Because no one loves traffic, especially on mornings when you’re late already!

3. The Steelers and Penguins

Because there’s nothing better than being the city of champions, right?

4. Pierogies

Because there’s nothing better than those delicious potatoey pockets.

5. Bridges

Because they make our city look unlike any other.

6. Fries on salads

Because it’s fun to feel good for eating a salad but bad at the same time.

Because there’s really nothing like it!

9. Completely random and unique places

Because Randyland anyone?

10. Prantl’s Almond Torte

Because you’re salivating just looking at that picture right? So am I.
