London-based Economist Intelligence Unit lists the 'Burgh as the 'most livable city'
Chalk it up as another win for the City of Champions.
A new study released Monday from the London-based Economist Intelligence Unit listed Pittsburgh as the "most livable city" in the U.S., narrowly edging out Honolulu for the top bragging rights.

Rounding out the top three most livable cities in the world are Melbourne, Australia, and Vienna, Austria, respectively.
