Amanda & Dave
Things To Do Around Da Burgh!
PNC Park
The Buccos play STL 8/25, 8/26 and 8/27 at 7:05PM. Not a bad seat in that stadium! About a 20 minute walk from the Westin via one of the sister bridges (they usually close one of the bridges for foot traffic for the game) or a 5 minute drive.
Condado Tacos
Across the street from the Westin Hotel. Best tacos and guac - try the margs too!
Grandview Overlook
Best views of the city and grab a cocktail at the bars on Shiloh Street! About a 10 minute drive from the Westin.
The Speakeasy
Looking for a swanky place to get cocktails? Look no further than the Speakeasy at the William Penn Hotel. It is a little confusing (deliberately) to find once you're in the Willy P, but ask the front desk for directions and they will show you the way! This is a 3 minute walk from the Westin.
Point Brugge Cafe
If you love Moules-frites or are looking for a great brunch spot, Point Brugge is the spot. About a 15 minute drive from the Westin in our neck of the woods!
Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar Strip District
Of course we couldn't pass up putting Primantis on the list! This location is about a 15 minute walk from the Westin or a short drive and is the ORIGINAL Primantis. Considering this is Dave's favorite, you will probably see us here after the wedding after party :)
Strip District
If you are looking to meander around the Burgh and see its charm, walk on down to the Strip District. It is a 5 minute walk from the Westin and is jam packed with shopping, markets, restaurants and bars.
The Andy Warhol Museum
Amanda's second favorite museum in the Burgh (Mattress Factory is #1), the museum is about a 20 minute walk over one of the three sister bridges from the Westin or a 5 minute drive. Check out Amanda's favorite piece, the elephant sculpture collaboration between Warhol and Keith Haring.
Sienna Mercato
Looking for a rooftop deck to enjoy an adult beverage? Head up the elevator to the third floor of Sienna Mercato and order a Moscow Mule or one of their signature "Frose" (Fro-Zey) drinks. Yup, Frozen Rose Slushie. Need I say more? Two minute walk from the Westin.
Pamela's Diner
Need a great breakfast/brunch spot? Pamela's has you covered with their signature crepe-style pancakes. About a 15 minute walk from the Westin in the Strip. They don't make reservations and it is usually a wait, so mosey around the Strip as you're waiting for your table.
The Commoner
Great brunch and dinner spot. 3 minute walk from the Westin located in the Hotel Monaco.
Randyland
If you find yourself on the Northside, check out the art installation called Randyland. It is sure to put a smile on your face. A 10 minute drive from the Westin.
Upper Incline Scenic Overlook
If you find yourself up on the Mt. Washington Overlook - definitely ride the incline! Amanda used to ride it to work when she lived on Mt. Washington. It is definitely a great experience!
Rivers Casino
Bet your luck at Rivers Casino! About a 10 minute drive from the Westin, you're likely to see Dave here at some point during the weekend!
