Things To Do

Big Dog Coffee

Amanda used to live a few doors down… easily the best coffee in the South Side!

Emiliano's Mexican Restaurant & Bar (South Side)

Southern Tier Brewery Pittsburgh

Larkin is a fan of their dog-friendly patio, and Brian loves beer, so we frequented this place often! Seated on the North Shore between the Steeler’s stadium, Heinz Field, and the Pirate’s stadium, PNC Park, you can also take a walk down by the river onto the River Walk for beautiful views of the city! You can also rent a kayak and make it out onto the river!

The Incline

Take a ride on the incline up to Mount Washington for beautiful views of the city!

Strip District

Take a morning visit to shop for foods and see what street vendors in the Strip District. We recommend: Pennsylvania Macaroni Company (if you like cheese, this might be for you!), Allegheny Coffee & Tea Exchange, Wholey's Fish Market, and Mancini's bread. We really love Jonathan Moran Woodwoks: Brian may have purchased a few Christmas gifts for Amanda from here! Hungry? Check out The Pennsylvania Market (food hall), Luke Wholey's Wild Alaskan Grille, or Roland's.

Lawrenceville

Lawrenceville is an old steel mill town revamped. Hungry? We recommend Industry Public House, The Abbey on Butler, Smoke, Franktuary Want a treat? Go to La Gourmandine Bakery if you like French bakeries, or try Millie's Icecream Thirsty? Try Eleventh Hour Brewery, Cinderland's, Espresso a Mano, or the rooftop bar at Over Eden Hey ladies, want to shop? Check out No.14 Boutique and Whiskey Moon Boutique

Shadyside

Brian lived in Shadyside when he first moved to Pittsburgh. Many good places to check out here with lots of memories for us! Hungry? Try out Mad Mex (where we had our first date), Noodlehead, Senyai Thai Kitchen, Shady Grove, Acorn, or have breakfast at Pamela's (there's one in the Strip District, too!) Thirsty? Go to Con Alma (jazz bar!), The Urban Tap, or Mario's Want a treat? Grab a cone at Millie's Icecream or stop into Prantl's Bakery Want to shop? Head over to Walnut Street Like dogs like us?
