Try a Battleship at the Triangle Bar&Grill. The border between Swissvale/Rankin isn't the nicest place in the world, but the food there is pretty good, and reasonably priced. I don't remember street names (someone still native to Swissvale is *sure* to correct me), but take the Swissvale exit from the parkway east. Turn left at the first stoplight (this willl put you on Braddock Avenue). Take a right at the next stoplight (there is a BP station here). At the "T" intersection go right. Take an immediate left at the next stoplight. Stay on this street until you see the Triangle Bar&Grill on the right. ===================================================================== | It's nice to be important, but it's *important* to suck up to the | | sysadmin -- Me | =====================================================================

The best subs in the continental U.S. are from RUDY'S SUBMARINES, which does not have a location in the city... the nearest to South Hills, or Oakland, that I know of, would be the Monroeville location. Route 22, next door to an eyeglass place and across from Eat & Park. BONUS: This is the location where Rudy himself is still behind the counter, after more than 25 years...

But the owner, who usually is at the Monroeville site, is not Rudy, but the man who bought out Rudy many years ago in Swissvale. His name is Joe Bonacci, and he's a great guy. He also has a franchised store in the Braddock Hills Shopping Center (near Forest Hills), and there's another good location on Route 286 in Murraysville. >
Someone wrote: : I agree - Rudy's Subs is great. There's one in Swissvale on Monongehela : Ave (up the street from Triangle subs!) and one in some shopping center : in Forest Hills - there's a Builder's Square or Hechinger's there, but : I'm not sure where the shopping center is or what it is called. Maybe : someone else out there can help. The shopping center is the Braddock Hills Shopping Center in Braddock Hills right outside of Forest Hills on Yost Blvd. From Ardmore Blvd. heading east make a right onto Yost Blvd. (at Ardmore Shopping Center) and go up the hill to the shopping center.

There are : four of them, one on Penn ave. in the strip district; Western avenue : on the North Side; Smithfield street in downtown, down near the : renovated Smithfield street bridge; and one in Highland Park, though I : don't know what street. : The best sub they have is the Big Wheeler, named after a Blues : harmonican from Chicago. It's about $4.60, and their most expensive : sub, as well as the most filling. They got a bunch of others, like the : South Philly, the Ultra, the New Yorker, and others.

It is a meal on a bun!

But plan on > eating them there, they don't travel well. My wife is a Slippery Rock grad ('77, education and special ed) who still pines for a Bob's Sub. I dined there on several visits to the Rock, when the place was still in its original location. I understand that they moved or built a new restaurant close by. Is it still the same or did the change alter the experience? Bruce in Blacksburg, Va. (but a native of the 'Burgh)
