New Orleans is about 1100 miles from Pittsburgh (and about 1250 from Philly), and is a fascinating city.
Jekyll Island (near Brunswick, GA) is also an interesting place to see once at least. Savannah and Charleston, as mentioned, are good options. For those, I would generally take I-81 to I-77 to I-26 (and thence to I-95 if needed) as my preferred route. There is a long grade down (going south) on I-77, but it's not at all unmanageable if one downshifts etc. appropriately and follows the speed limits, which are sometimes reduced due to (heavy at times) fog.
Pretty much anyplace north of Orlando and east of New Orleans would more or less be in your distance constraint. That covers a lot of territory.
