Things To Do
Mount Washington + Incline
Jon took me to Grandview Saloon & Coal Hill Steakhouse for my 27th birthday this year. The views and food did not disappoint! Take either the Duquesne Incline or Monongahela Incline to the top of Mt. Washington for some of the best views of the city and a wide variety of food and drink options... https://www.visitpittsburgh.com/blog/how-to-ride-the-pittsburgh-inclines/
Point State Park
The tip of Pittsburgh’s “Golden Triangle” where the three rivers meet. The famous fountain and city river walk can both be found here.
Market Square + Primanti's
Stop by Market Square and treat yourself to a famous Primanti's sandwich. Fun fact: We booked a hotel right next to Market Square for the rest of the wedding weekend. Hope we see you around!
Heinz Field
Check it out... **Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Seattle Seahawks, October 17 @ 8:20 pm.** Fun fact: Our first date was on a Sunday night and it included some Steelers football.
PPG Paints Arena
Pittsburgh Penguins home opener vs. the Chicago Blackhawks at PPG Paints Arena on Saturday, October 16th.
Southern Tier Brewery Pittsburgh
Be sure to get a table out on the lawn! Dog friendly :) walk along the north shore (home of PNC Park and Heinz Field) after some craft beers from Southern Tier. You can also rent kayaks right here on the north shore.
Strip District
See link for the most comprehensive list we could find of all that the Strip District has to offer! At the very least, do yourself a favor and run a Google search on DiAnoia's gnocchi bowl...
