Lauren & John
Things To Do
North Park Lake
This is where John proposed! You can rent kayaks at the boathouse or just sit back and relax with a drink at Over The Bar Bicycle Cafe.
PNC Park
LET'S GO BUCS! Ask us if you want tickets to a game!
Tomato Pie Cafe
This hole-in-the-wall restaurant has been a staple in Lauren's (and now John's) life. She recommends the Tomato Pie pizza with flatbread and balsamic dressing for dipping on the side. (It's cash only just FYI)
Grandview Overlook
Enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Pittsburgh and its three rivers. Ride to the incline's Observation Deck in the 140-year-old Duquesne Incline car to see what USA Today Weekend Magazine calls one of the "10 most beautiful views in America."
The Andy Warhol Museum
This is the largest museum in North America dedicated to a single artist. The museum holds an extensive permanent collection of art and archives from the Pittsburgh-born pop art icon Andy Warhol.
Strip District
Lined with converted warehouses, the hip Strip District has a vibrant mix of old-style grocers, gourmet food shops, and street stands selling produce and t-shirts. Stop at Pamela's for breakfast, try the famous Primanti's sandwich for lunch, and dine at Gaucho's Argentinian restaurant for dinner.
Driftwood Oven
If it's good enough for Chrissy Teigen, it's good enough for you! This pizza rival's Tomato Pie's pizza (see above). It is located in Lawrenceville which also has many great shops, bars, and restaurants to explore.
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
Phipps is a City of Pittsburgh historic landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is considered one of the "greenest" facilities in the world.
