Things To Do
Strip District
A ton of local shops, cafes, and places to eat! There are street vendors selling clothes and handmade items. Lauren recommends Allegheny Coffee & Tea Exchange for their espresso and huge variety of self-serve bulk coffees and teas. Logan and Roman recommend Bella Notte for their HUGE handmade pizzas covered with toppings.
Noodlehead
This is one of our favorite date spots! Amazing Thai street food noodles! What's not to love?! We love the Street Noodle #1 and See Yew - Make it level 3 or 4 spicy if you're up to it! Hours are 12pm-10pm daily. This restaurant is cash only.
Chengdu Gourmet 2
Authentic Szechuan!! We LOVE this place! We probably order here at least once a month. Logan recommends the cumin lamb, Lauren loves the frog with peppers flaming pan, and Roman is a fan of the sweet & sour chicken.
Duquesne Incline
This is a great way to see the whole city! A tiny little train car that scales up the side of the mountains, showing you everything Pittsburgh has to offer. We recommend this at night as well (you can't miss it - it's lit up with rainbow lights!). $5 for a roundtrip ticket, up and back down. Cash only. The incline runs 365 days a year and run about every 5 minutes. Hours are Mon-Sat 5:30am-12:30am and Sun & holidays 7am-12:30am.
Market Square
Right in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh! Cute local shops and restaurants. You can usually find a festival or farmers market within the square or nearby.
The Andy Warhol Museum
Largest collection of Andy Warhol art and archives in the world. There are always cool exhibits and installations on display as well. We recommend this and the Mattress Factory in the same day. Open 10am-5pm M/W/Th, 10am-10pm Friday, and closed on Tuesdays. $25 tickets for adults, $13 for kids, students, and seniors.
Mattress Factory
Modern art exhibits and installations from both well-known and emerging artists. This is an immersive experience. We recommend this and the Andy Warhol Musem in the same day.
