Things To Do
Forbes Avenue & Murray Avenue
Kathleen's childhood neighborhood, Squirrel Hill. Forbes and Murray has many shops, dining options, and coffee to explore. Our suggestions include: Commonplace for coffee, Pigeon Bagels, and Mineo's Pizza House.
Mineo's Pizza House
The best pizza in the city, Tim's favorite. Tim's suggestion: Pepperoni Pizza with an IC Light beer.
Strip District
Kathleen's favorite place to be on a Saturday morning. Lined with converted warehouses, the hip Strip District has a vibrant mix of old-style grocers and gourmet food shops, street stands selling produce and t-shirts, plus upbeat bars, classic Italian eateries and sandwich places. Our suggestions: coffee at De Fer or breakfast at Roland's, walk down Penn Ave, grab a t-shirt at Yinzer's, and end with a cocktail at Wigle Whiskey or Kingfly.
Grandview Overlook
Take a ride on the Pittsburgh Incline for some of the best views of the skyline!
University of Pittsburgh

We suggest grabbing a coffee or tea at Redhawk Cafe (120 Meyran Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213) and walking around Pitt's campus. In the mood to walk a little further? Head up Forbes Ave and check out Carnegie Mellon University.
