'The Waterfront' in Homestead, about 5 mins from Kennywood has a big theater, Improv comedy club, a winery outlet, a dueling piano bar for eves, Hibachi grill, several good eateries, candy outlet, Lowe's nearby, Macy's, Eat n' Park, etc.
It's absolutely setup to park and walk around with nice sidewalks- like a little 'town' atmosphere.
Mount Washington- DEFINITELY! There is a lookout across from the church with amazing nighttime views (park on side street, it's narrow and steep).
Like many cities, avoid dark and dreary areas a night. Homestead (town) is a place to avoid, even though the Waterfront has that address, it is VERY DIFFERENT.
Carhops, Jimmy Johns, Primanti Bros are good sandwich shops.
3pm-6pm is rush hour daily. AVOID THE PARKWAY during these hours, especially with RV. Tip: 'Parkway East' has nothing to do with direction of travel, it is on the EASTERN side of Pittsburgh and vice-versa.
Anywhere in Pittsburgh, pick your bridge. All routes follow bridge access.
Have fun!
