New to *this* site, so a little late... caught your PGH comment and should note that there is a good "Stillers" bar in North Beach in the city: http://www.giordanobros.com/northbeach/.  Primanti brothers knock-off, but tastefully so.  Lots of 'Burgh expats here, myself included.

Don't know much about East Bay neighborhoods, though Coast Guard Island seems a nice enough place to work when I happen to pass by in need of gas or have to visit the DEERs folks.  Anything with a garage is excellent.

Thanks for the info! Will definitely lit visit that place! Will have to get used to watching games at 10am but am certainly not complaining when we have a night game. Good to know that I will have at least one other blank and gold fan out there!
