Pittsburgh: Over the top

It is for that one hilltop night view perhaps for which one can choose Pittsburgh among the many American cities to visit as a tourist. One a freezing winter night this year, a group of Indian tourists on a cross country tour of USA and Canada said they were awestruck by the sweeping vista of a modern city during night from atop Mt. Washington, something which they felt beats the skyline of even New York by night. Perhaps because of the vantage point from where one can see the magnetic city of rivers, tunnels and mighty steel bridges in southwestern Pennsylvania.
