Reception

Omni William Penn Hotel

Casbah

Anonymous's favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh. A little pricey, but with terrific food from the Mediterranean and Northern Africa. The wine list is great.

D's Sixpax & Dogz

Good hot dogs and an excellent international beer selection. We planned our wedding here.

Grand Concourse

Great seafood restaurant located in the Edwardian splendor of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad terminal, built in 1901. Yes, I cut that last phrase right from a web page. It just seemed easier.

Max's Allegheny Tavern

good German restaurant with fake Bavarian pretzels.

Silky's Sports Bar & Grill

Our local (somewhat smoky) hangout, only two blocks from our apartment. They have good food- burgers and pasta and fish, and good beer for cheap prices.

Squirrel Hill

Our neighborhood has two movie theaters, a Barnes and Noble, lots of restaurants, and small stores.

The South Side

Most of the clubs and bars for the cool kids are on South Side. Plays, live music, art galleries, bars... anything you are looking for. The link above has a lot of listings.

Andy Warhol Museum

Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History

The first dinosaur fossils at the Natural History Museum were excavated at the Carnegie Quarry, now the national park: Dinosaur National Monument. The newly renovated fossil exhibition is one of the best in the world. The art museum is pretty good too. Both museums are free.

Carnegie Science Center Omnimax Theater

A science museum with imax theater and planetarium, and a Sportsworks center with lots of interactive displays about sports.

Heinz History Center

Regional history museum associated with the Smithsonian Institute. Has exhibits covering Heinz 57 sauce and the experience of black soldiers in Vietnam, among others.

Mattress Factory Museum

A small contemporary art museum.

Point State Park

A beautiful park where the three rivers come together. A great place to ride a bike or walk around enjoying the view.
