Things To Do
McConnells Mill State Park
We love hiking here. It is absolutely beautiful. We call it the "Pacific Northwest of Pennsylvania." Enjoy the beautiful flowing river, mossy rocks, and tall trees.
Ohiopyle State Park
This is Nates #1 hiking destination in Western PA, and I'd have to agree, it's pretty great. There is Cucumber Falls, the Youghiogheny River, and plenty of scenic walking. If you happen to visit, make sure you check out Frank Lloyd Wright's famous home, Fallingwater.
Raccoon Creek State Park
This is another wonderful hike. We love the Heritage Trail, because it leads into this beautiful lined path of red pine trees.
Moraine State Park
Moriane is great if you want to walk around a pretty lake. It will be beautiful in early October.
Kabob G Grill
This is one of our favorite restaurants. It is Lebanese food, and it is perfect! We highly recommend the grape leaves and baba.
Strip District
This is a fun place to go on the weekends, especially in the morning. Get breakfast at Pamela's, to to Penzey's Spices, and enjoy all of the sights.
Kingfly Spirits
Located in the Strip District is a fun spirits bar. Nate and I love it here.
Pamela's Diner
Famous. So good.
Cinderlands Warehouse
We love the vibe at this brewery.
South Side
More fun on weekends! Enjoy during the day, and really enjoy at night. There are so many bars in the South Side.
Dee's Cafe
Located in the South Side is Nate's favorite bar. This is the definition of a dive. Enjoy cigarette smoke, cheap drinks, and fun people.
Lawrenceville
This is a fun neighborhood! Great for shopping and eating. There is a lot to do.
B52 Café
Alex highly recommends this restaurant. It is 100% vegan and located in Lawrenceville.
Millie's Homemade Ice Cream
There are multiple locations around the city, I highly recommend the dairy free brownie batter ice cream.
Randyland
This place is so unique and FREE! Check it out for a fun photo opp and to meet Randy himself.
Mattress Factory
This a really cool installation art museum.

An iconic Pittsburgh staple. Just try it.

Speaking of the Grandview Overlook…

I love this little restaurant in downtown Pittsburgh! Take the T (red line) to downtown to Wood Street and it’s a short walk from there.
Market Square
Market Square is surrounded by restaurants and an occasional night market in downtown Pittsburgh.
Nicky's Thai Kitchen
Nicky’s Thai on Western Ave is delish.

A super interesting spot! This is connected to the Carnegie Museum of Art.
