I'm a Pittsburgh local. Here 4 great areas of the city that tourists usually ignore — and the best things to do in each.

• I've lived in Pittsburgh for 15 years, so I've found great local gems outside of touristy areas.
• Millvale and Garfield are really great creative hubs for live music and art.
• You can have fun while exploring Pittsburgh's history in Homestead and Point Breeze.

Growing up in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, I visited Pittsburgh often when I was younger.

I thought I knew it really well until I actually moved there...
