Things To Do
Strip District
One of our favorite parts of the city, the Strip is an historic market district along Penn and Smallman, between 11th and 33rd streets. Both sides of Penn Avenue are lined with great restaurants, bars, traditional grocery stores, antique shops, and street vendors and performers. Check out Roland's Seafood for a great lunch and Bar Marco for an amazing and unique cocktail.
Carnegie Museum of Natural History
Carnegie Museum of Natural History was founded by the Pittsburgh-based industrialist, Andrew Carnegie in 1896. This museum houses the first T-Rex fossil ever found. "Better than the Smithsonian" -Shawn G.
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
A historic landmark that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We had our second date here so it definetly holds a special place in our hearts.

Omni William Penn Hotel
1912 sophisticated, historic hotel with amazing architecture. There's an elegant restaurant, a traditional tearoom with live jazz, and a whiskey tasting room. Head downstairs to the Speak Easy for our favorite Gin Old Fashioned, specialty of Dawn. Shout out to groomsman, Mitch for discovering this gem of a spot.
Upper Incline Scenic Overlook
Take a step back in time on a century-old cable car and see the best views of downtown Pittsburgh while riding one of the few remaining inclines in the country. Opened on May 20, 1877, the Duquesne (pronounced Do-Cane) Incline was rescued and restored by a group of local residents in 1963 and still delights residents and visitors with its original, elegant, wooden cable cars. Now you can visit the interior of the incline and watch the machinery while it operates. The Duquesne Incline's upper station houses a museum of Pittsburgh history, including photos and a storehouse of information on inclines from around the world. FARES: Adults (Ages 12-64) $2.50 Each Way Children (Ages 6-11) $1.25 Each Way Children 5 and Under Free PA Seniors 65 and older with Medicare card or Port Authority Senior Citizen ID are Free Group Rates are Valid for Any Group of Ten or More People Saturday & Sunday afternoon are our busiest times.
