Duquesne Incline.
This is a century-old cable car and at the top were the best views of downtown Pittsburgh. The Incline opened May 20, 1877, and was restored with its original, elegant, wooden cable cars in 1963. After riding the Incline I would say the interior is still in amazing condition but the exterior needs restoration. The cable cars are enclosed so they are quite warm! We rode free by showing our Medicare Cards. It only costs $5.00 to ride both ways so it will be quite some time for them to earn the money for restoration!
There are no restrooms at the bottom or top. There is a port-a-john at the bottom but I was not brave enough to enter!
This is the ceiling of the cable car.
At the top we went to The Coal Hill Steak House and sat on the outdoor patio overlooking the city. They had a restroom on the third floor for customers ONLY!
It was my birthday so I had the Burnt Almond Cake. The name doesn’t sound so good, but it was amazing! It was multi-layered yellow cake with the layers divided using custard. The frosting was vanilla with sugar cooked almonds that tasted amazing. It was an amazing piece of cake and I ate it all! It was the first piece of cake I have eaten in a year!
