Things To Do
Duquesne Incline
Opening in 1877, the Dusquesne Incline is a cable car that inspired the Reading Rainbow and provides majestic views of the city. There is an observer deck at the top in Mount Washington and you can enjoy a drink at the Grandview Saloon if you want to enjoy the view into Steeler Stadium for a little longer before finishing the trip. Bring $5 cash and go early in the day for a round trip ticket.
The Andy Warhol Museum
One of Pittsburgh’s most iconic cultural spots, the Andy Warhol Museum is a must-see for art lovers and curious visitors alike. Spanning seven floors, it showcases Warhol’s life, creative process, and unforgettable pop art. From his early drawings to his famous portraits and films. It’s a fun, colorful way to spend an afternoon and a great glimpse into the city’s artistic spirit.
Kamin Science Center
A great spot for families and the young-at-heart, the Carnegie Science Center is one of Pittsburgh’s most fun and interactive museums. You’ll find hands-on exhibits, live demonstrations, a planetarium, a giant-screen theater, and even a real Cold War submarine you can tour. Whether you want to explore space, robotics, physics, or just enjoy some playful science learning, it’s an easy and entertaining way to spend a few hours and walking distance from the venue.
Posman Books
A charming combo of ice cream shop and independent bookstore, OddFellows & Posman Books is one of the sweetest stops in the Strip District... literally. Grab a scoop of their inventive ice cream flavors, then wander through the cozy bookstore filled with great reads and fun gifts. It’s a perfect little break while exploring the neighborhood. Even more special: it’s just down the street from where Medha and Tom got engaged, so it’s a spot close to our hearts!
Gateway Clipper Fleet
For a fun and relaxing way to see Pittsburgh, hop aboard one of the Gateway Clipper sightseeing cruises. You’ll float along the city’s famous three rivers while learning about the history of the Steel City, its bridges, and its stunning skyline. After your cruise, take a scenic walk along the waterfront and head toward Point State Park. You’ll end right at the iconic fountain downtown, a perfect spot for photos and river views.
Noodlehead
If you’re looking for an incredible meal while you’re in town, Noodlehead is one of our absolute favorites. This cozy Thai spot serves some of the best comfort food in Pittsburgh. Don’t miss the pork buns, Street Noodle #1, and Street Noodle #2 (our go-tos every time). Just a heads-up: it’s cash-only, so plan ahead or use the ATM in the back! And after dinner, wander next door to Millie’s for some of the best ice cream in the city. Perfect combo.
Bakery Square City Kitchen
Bakery Square’s City Kitchen is a vibrant food hall with tons of great options and perfect for groups, picky eaters, or anyone looking to explore Pittsburgh’s local flavors in one spot. From quick bites to full meals, there’s something for everyone. Fun fact: Medha’s wedding dress was found at a store in the connected shopping center… so if you wander around, you might just get a sneak peek (but no guarantees!).
