Lauren & Alexandra
Things To Do
Big Dog Coffee
Our first date was in this cozy little Pittsburgh gem!
Harold's Haunt
One of our favorite places to get pizza and play board games!
Max's Allegheny Tavern
Fantastic German food in Pittsburgh's own Deutschtown.
Waffallonia
No better place to eat a waffle with ice cream! Alex recommends the Cinnamon Antwerp Lauren recommends the Chocolate Antwerp *Mghm!*
Senator John Heinz History Center
Love history? Love Pittsburgh? Heinz History Center loves both. At least go for the giant ketchup bottle.
Pittsburgh Glass Center
Inspire your inner artisan. This place is a one stop shop for learning, making and admiring all things glass.
Pittsburgh Botanic Garden
Alex proposed to Lauren here with a handwritten note and a beautiful ring she designed!
Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh - Main (Oakland)
Lauren proposed to Alex among the rows of books on the floor with the windows overlooking the dinosaur bones! Great place to read and get your nerd on. The Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Art and Music Hall are also adjacent to this library.
Bost Building
One of several hotspots during the Homestead Lockout and Strike, the Bost Building was of extraordinary significance to America's labor history. Be sure to swing by the pumphouse near the Homestead Waterfront shopping center. You can't go inside it, but you can see the Carrie Blast Furnaces from there too! Side note for Nerdy Nerds: A really cool stone labyrinth commemorating the steel mills of Pittsburgh is not far from the pumphouse along the Greater Allegheny Passage bike trail.
