PITTSBURGH — Pickles and Pittsburgh are inseparable. While pickles weren’t invented in Pittsburgh or western Pennsylvania, the region has a long history and continued strong connection to brined gherkins and cucumbers.
Since National Pickle Day is coming up on November 14, Channel 11 thought of no better way to celebrate the special holiday by sharing a full list of how to spend it in the ‘burgh.
Get the best pickle for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack:

Pickle gifts for the pickle lover in your life:
If you live anywhere near the city and call yourself a fan of all things Pittsburgh, but don’t have any pickle merch, you need to catch up. There are plenty of options like this Pittsburgh Pickles shirt or a pickle sticker for your laptop!
