Things To Do
Heinz History Center
Go and learn about the history of The City of Bridges while you prepare for our Pittsburgh wedding!
Rock'n'Joe Coffee Bar
This is one of the bride and groom's favorite places for coffee dates on Saturday mornings! Nestled a block away from Market Square (behind the Highmark building), and located next to our very first apartment we lived in when moving to Pittsburgh!
Pamela's Diner
Enjoy some breakfast with the crew at Pamela's diner! Debatably the best (and largest) hotcake this side of the Ohio River. If you decide to go and visit, be aware that it's a "cash only" diner!
Primanti Bros.
Prepare for the ultimate Pittsburgh experience...once you taste french fries on your sandwich, you'll never go back. Primantis is a favorite of the Groom! The Pittsburgher sandwich with a cold I.C. Light is sure to make any afternoon a great one!
Monongahela Incline
No, you're not seeing things...there really are trolleys climbing up the mountain! Go explore one of Pittsburgh's original forms of transportation and experience the breathtaking views of our city. Make sure you purchase a round-trip ticket before you get to the top! While up at the top of the mountain (on Mt. Washington), feel free to stroll along the observation decks on Grandview Ave, grab some lunch at Shiloh's Grill (123 Shiloh St, Pittsburgh, PA 15211) or some drinks at Coughlin's Law (10 Virginia Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15211).
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
A green oasis in the middle of Pittsburgh’s vibrant Oakland neighborhood, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens has provided a world-class garden experience to its visitors since 1893. Explore the beauty and wonders of nature at Phipps, encompassing 15 acres including a 14-room glasshouse and 23 distinct gardens. Experience industry-leading sustainable architecture and green practices and stunning seasonal flower shows.
Fort Pitt Museum & Point State Park
The Point fountain is one of the more iconic symbols of Pittsburgh (other than the Steelers logo...) as it represents the joining of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers to form the Ohio River. The fountain is within walking distance of Primanti Bros in Market Square, so it's an easy site to incorporate into your afternoon!
Tanger Outlets Pittsburgh
Enjoy a day of shopping at the Tanger Outlets, located only seconds from the Fairfield Inn & Suites hotel!
