A Shopping and Eating Guide to Pittsburgh’s Strip District

The Strip District is one of our favorite neighborhoods in Pittsburgh for a number of reasons.  It is home to a large assortment of international grocery stores and retailers, boutique shops, independent merchants, and several of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh (many of which feature international cuisine as well).

Although we've been down to the Strip District hundreds of times over the years, it seems like every time we visit we discover a new business worth exploring and shopping at.

To share some of our own personal favorites, this guide to the Strip District was born!

It is worth noting that the following is not a collection of every business in the Strip District. This article only features businesses that we personally visit when we explore the neighborhood.  As such, it should only be taken as a starting point and is certainly not a list of every establishment. 

If you see an interesting store while walking around the Strip District, do yourself a favor and go inside!

Strip District History and Map

In the early days of the city the Strip District was an industrial neighborhood with foundaries, mills, and other production shops in abundance.  Produce merchants also moved in, as did wholesalers and grocers thanks to the access to the nearby train lines. 

Over the years these merchants and industries went into decline, and most of them moved out of the neighborhood entirely.

The Strip District is located just outside of downtown Pittsburgh on the banks of the Allegheny river.  The generally accepted boundaries are between 11th Street and 33rd Street, with the river marking the northern border and Liberty Avenue marking the south.

As you can see from the above map, most of the popular businesses are located between 16th and 25th street, with the bulk of the establishments being located on either Smallman Street or Penn Avenue.

A few additional shops are located outside of these areas that are worth checking out; however, you will also likely want to drive to these instead of walking.  (For more visiting logistics, skip to the end of this article for more details.)

All of the businesses featured below are included in the above map.  To read our review or visit the shop's site, either click the link in the map above or in our post below when available!

International and Specialty Grocery Stores

One of the most unique aspects of the Strip District is that it is home to Pittsburgh's international grocery community.  You'll be hard pressed to find a better collection of international shopping in the city, and if you're seeking out a specialty item from abroad, these are the first places worth checking out.

• WFH Oriental Food Market –  The Strip District has a high concentration of Asian grocery stores, and WFH Oriental Food Market has one of the most impressive selections from east Asia.
• Lotus Noodle – Located on the opposite end of the Strip District, Lotus Noodle boasts an incredible produce selection and unique Asian items with prices that handily beat most big box grocery stores.
• Sambok Korean – Sambok grocery store may be slightly smaller than the previously mentioned grocery stores, but its focus on Korean items makes it a perfect stop for those cooking this delicious cuisine.
• Labad's Mediterranean Grocery – If you need to stock up on your Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare, Labad's is the grocery store for you as their selection is one of the best!
• Salem's Market – A second Middle Eastern grocery store a bit further out of the main shopping area of the Strip District with a large selection, a Halal butcher, and an amazing restaurant.

• S&D Polish Deli – As a city that prides itself on its pierogi consumption, it should be no surprise that the Strip District has a grocery store completely dedicated to all things Polish.
• Reyna Foods – Walking into Reyna's is like walking into Mexico. The smell of fresh made corn and flour tortillas fills the store (a must buy), and the bins of dried peppers will make any food lover drool.
• Pennsylvania Macaroni Co. – Affectionately known as Penn Mac, this one is home to just about every Italian product you need (and then some) and one of the most beautiful cheese counters in the country.
• Stamoolis Brothers Co. – Although the products here are very similar to those found in Penn Mac, Stamoolis is also home to many unique items from Greece and Eastern Europe you can't find anywhere else.

Restaurants in the Strip District

As a natural extension of the international grocery scene, the Strip District is home to many international restaurants that are among the best in the city. 

The neighborhood has also seen a rise in many chef-driven restaurants as well as street food carts that are guaranteed to have you coming back time and time again.

• Kaya – This Caribbean inspired restaurant has a broad menu and is home to an incredible burger. Reservations are recommended.
• Edgar's Tacos – Edgar's Tacos has gained an incredible following at their mobile food cart. They now have a permanent store at the Pennsylvania Market!
• Lucy's Banh Mi Cart – Lucy is most often found by Bar Marco in the summer months, serving up her Banh Mi sandwiches from Vietnam.  Trust us when we say that she has earned her cult following.
• Sambok Korean Food Cart – The Korean grocery store Sambok offers its own food cart and the mung bean pancakes are definitely worth seeking out.
• Wholey's – Although known as a meat and seafood grocery store, Wholey's offers street side lobster rolls, Andy's Sushi Bar , and a dining counter where you can try delicious seafood dishes like fish sandwiches and soft shell crab sandwiches (in season).
• Luke Wholey's Alaskan Grille – A restaurant offering plated seafood dishes, sandwiches, sushi, and more.
• Cioppino – A higher end seafood and chophouse just off the main stretch of the Strip.
• Little Bangkok – A Thai restaurant tucked away on Penn Avenue with large portions.
• Maiku Sushi – A Vietnamese restaurant with some delicious (and cheap) eats.
• Mancini's Bakery – Most visit Mancini's for their bread; however, we like to stop at their outdoor food cart to pick up one of their famous pepperoni rolls when we need a quick snack.
• Jimmy & Nino Sunseri Co. – Italian grocery home to breads, sandwiches, and the famous pepperoni roll.
• Balvanera – Argentinian restaurant with an upscale ambiance.
• Iron Born – Detroit style pizza from this popular shop that was once at Smallman Galley.
• Enrico's Cafe – A cafe serving stellar pizza and sandwiches located behind the delicious biscotti store of the same name. Hours vary from the biscotti store!
• Papa J's Twin Plaza – A pizza by the slice restaurant in the former Smallman Galley space with a large bar and gelato corner too.
• Colangelo's – A bakery with delicious sandwiches and pizza near La Prima.
• Cafe Raymond – A popular breakfast and lunch spot that is diner-esque in the heart of the Strip. Go for the blueberry pancakes.
• Coop de Ville – A chicken sandwich restaurant from the Richard DeShantz restaurant group with duckpin bowling, a champagne vending machine, and more.

• Bar Marco – Some of the best bartenders are at this one, and the food (albeit small and overpriced) is some of the best we've had in the city. Reservations are recommended.
• Penn Avenue Fish Co. – This restaurant and seafood market has a large menu of gourmet offerings as well as specialty sushi rolls that won't break the bank.
• Peppi's Old Tyme Sandwich Shop – Peppi's is your neighborhood hoagie shop and offers a wide selection of sandwiches including the meat-loaded #7 named for Big Ben himself (our personal favorite).
• Eleven – Eleven is big Burrito's critically acclaimed fine dining restaurant and is worth the visit if you have cause to celebrate.  Reservations are recommended.
• Pamela's P&G Diner – Pamela's is one of Pittsburgh's favorite diners thanks to their thin, crispy pancakes that we can't get enough of.  Just be prepared for a line at this location, as it is one of the most popular establishments in the Strip District.
• Deluca's – A breakfast spot in the Strip known for big portions.
• Primanti Brothers – Finally, we end with Primanti's. It is no secret that we only eat Primanti's after a night out drinking, because to be honest the sandwiches aren't that special. If you must eat at this famous restaurant (and we certainly wont fault you for it if you're a visitor), take our word for it and stop by the Strip District location. It is the original and, to be quite honest, none of the other locations stack up. Add a fried egg onto your sandwich, with a side of Smallman Street fries, and thank us later.
• DiAnoia's Eatery – One of Pittsburgh's best Italian restaurants with a stellar weekend brunch.
• Pizzeria Davide – A pizza shop by the owners of DiAnoia's located just next to the restaurant.
• Pane e Pronto – A bakery and short-order lunch shop run by the team at DiAnoia's just a block away. Don't miss the sandwiches!
• Cadence in the Strip – A basement restaurant and bar with modern American food and a speakeasy vibe.
• The Pennsylvania Market – A sprawling two-story market with vendors on the first floor, a food hall on the second floor with several chef-driven restaurants and three bars (plus a wine library), and a gorgeous outdoor courtyard with even more food, vendors, and a bar.

Wineries, Breweries, and Distilleries

Pittsburgh's wine and spirit scene has been soaring in recent years, and many of the newcomers to the scene are winning awards left and right with their exceptional products.  Naturally, several of the best have chosen to call the Strip District their home.

• Pittsburgh Winery – This winery imports their grapes from all around the world and makes some of the finest wines you'll ever enjoy.  We were hesitant at first, but now we are converts.
• Maggie's Farm Rum – Maggie's Farm Rum is located on the outskirts of the Strip District (much like the above winery) but is worth the visit for their national award winning rum and selection of boat drinks.
• Kingfly Spirits – A large distillery located just steps from the heart of the Strip District producing vodka, rum, limoncello, and more. Beautiful space with frequent events.
• Wigle Whiskey – Wigle is named after an 18th-century whiskey rebel, and is currently one of the most awarded distilleries in the USA.  Although their whiskey is delicious, be sure to try their gin- it is one of our favorites!
• R Wine Cellar – Located right in the heart of the Strip District, R Wine Cellar shares their passion for wine made from grapes from all over the world.
• Courtyard Winery – A tasting room for a winery located on the shores of Lake Erie and operated by a former president at Welch's (part of The Pennsylvania Market).
• Cinderlands Warehouse – An expansion by popular brewery Cinderlands into the Strip District.
• 1700 Penn Avenue – A collaboration between Pennsylvania Libations and Helltown Brewery featuring a taproom for beer, a Pennsylvania wine store, and an outdoor space for beverages, food trucks, and live music.
• City Winery – A wine bar and event venue space in the Terminal Building.
• Aslin Beer Company – Pittsburgh's first location for the DC-area based brewery, Aslin. Featuring a monster space in the Terminal building complete with full food menu.
• Bonafide Beer Co. – An intimate brewery in the heart of the Strip District with a welcoming space and vast hours. Grab a beer, cocktail, or more!
• The Beerhive – A dive bar in the heart of the Strip District serving up a great selection of Pennsylvania beers.

Coffee and Tea

The Strip District is home to an impressive collection of cafes featuring coffee, espresso, and a wide selection of tea.  No matter what kind of pick-up you're looking for, one of the following are sure to offer it.

• La Prima Espresso Bar – For the most Italian espresso you'll ever have in Pittsburgh, head to La Prima. They roast their own beans and their shots are always smooth and rich.
• De Fer Coffee – A modern coffee shop and roastery right in the heart of the Strip.
• Novaria Coffee – A welcoming coffee shop in the heart of the Strip with Turkish and Middle Eastern flavors alongside a traditional cafe menu.
• Soluna (formerly Cafetano) – A Honduran coffee roaster with a great space and a full coffee and food menu.
• The James Cafe – A relaxing cafe just off the main business district in the Strip.
• Allegheny Coffee & Tea Exchange – Dozens of different barrels full of in-house roasted coffee beans line the back half of the store, along with a huge selection of teas. For something different, try the nitro coffee at the cafe at the front half of the store.
• Prestogeorge Coffee & Tea – Another great option for buying freshly roasted coffee beans and loose leaf teas. Check out their coffee of the month club where you can get a pound of coffee delivered right to your door every month for a year!

Specialty Stores

• Love, Pittsburgh – A Pittsburgh themed shop with multiple locations in the city, including one in the heart of the Strip!
• In the Kitchen – From common kitchen items to more obscure specialty items, In the Kitchen has an impressive collection of cookware and gadgets.  They are also one of only a few hosts of the semi-annual All-Clad Second's Sale featuring All-Clad products at significantly reduced prices.
• Penn Avenue Fixture and Supply – As a bulk kitchen supply store, this one usually caters to local restaurants; however, every item in the store features individual pricing, making this one the first store you should visit for kitchen shopping.  (This one is located slightly outside the main section of the Strip, but has free parking for customers and is truly worth the extra effort.)
• Pennsylvania Libations – The first store to open in Pennsylvania to be completely dedicated to all things PA spirits!
• Penzey's Spices – Although a national chain, Penzey's Spices is worth a stop if you have any specialty spices or seasoning mixes on your mind that one of the international grocery stores above does not stock.  There is a price premium, but odds are good they will have what you're looking for.
• Roxanne's Dried Flowers – Check here for all things decorative based on floral and natural components.  If you're looking to decorate your house with natural items, Roxanne's is for you.
• Art of Steel – If you're looking to decorate your house with art made from metal, Art of Steel is for you.
• Robert Wholey & Co. – If butchered meats and seafood are what you are after, look no further than Wholey's, one of the jewels of the Strip District. Be sure to try their lobster bisque!

• Mon Aimee Chocolat – Chocolate lovers, rejoice!  Mon Aimee Chocolat features a selection of imported chocolate bars and chocolate-based candies from around the world.
• Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop – For those who love candy that isn't chocolate, Grandpa Joe's has you covered with bulk candies and throwback candies that are hard to find anywhere else.
• Peace, Love and Little Donuts – The scent of this store will entice you in before you even notice the sign, and the selection of gourmet donuts will keep you coming back. Try the maple bacon donut for a truly indulgent treat.
• Klavon's Ice Cream Parlor – Klavon's is an old time ice cream parlor offering up delicious ice cream sodas, floats, and sundaes using ice cream from Penn State's Creamery.
• Strip District Meats – Looking for more unusual meats?  Strip District Meats has what you are looking for whether it be alligator, camel, or simple cuts of beef and chicken.
• Parma Sausage – Parma Sausage has very limited operating hours, but when they are open you will do well picking up a few pounds of their homemade sausages and other cured meats.

Heinz History Center

As the resident museum of the Strip District, the Heinz History Center focuses on the rich history of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania. 

With exhibits ranging from the early settlements in the region to all of the modern day inventions and personalities that have come out of the city, there is no better museum in the city to learn about Pittsburgh and the surrounding region.

Information for Visiting the Strip District

When it comes to visiting the Strip District, there are several things worth considering.

The first, and perhaps most important, is that the Strip District is most vibrant in the late-morning to mid-afternoon on weekdays and especially weekends. This means that most businesses will be open, but the crowds can also be quite large.

Outside of these hours many of the businesses will be closed although some restaurants, bars, and night clubs will have extended hours well into the night.  If you visit after 3pm, do not be surprised if most of the businesses have closed for the day.

The second issue visitors to the Strip District have is parking, as during popular visiting hours metered street parking is quite difficult to find unless you get lucky with a car leaving. Surface lot pricing often starts at $10 for flat rate parking on weekends. Our favorite parking lot is the garage at the Cork Factory (right next to Wigle Whiskey) which charges an hourly rate that begins at $5 for up to 2 hours, $7 for 2-4 hours, and $9 for 4-10 hours- a bit more than meter rates but a fair bit easier to save time driving around looking for a spot. This one is perfect for those who don't mind walking a few extra blocks to get into the heart of the Strip District as well (see “P” on our Strip District map). Further garages with reasonable parking are also found at The Hub on 27th with similar pricing as well as at 11th and Smallman near the Heinz History Center.

It is worth noting, however, that if you are visiting businesses close to the 33rd Street end of the Strip District (such as Pittsburgh Winery or Maggie's), free street parking can be found with a limited duration (often 1-2 hours) during normal business hours.

Select stores, such as Penn Mac, Wigle Whiskey, Wholey's, and Penn Avenue Fixture & Supply have their own complimentary parking lot for customers, but often fill up fast and are only available for visiting these stores exclusively- so don't plan on parking in these if you are spending a day in the Strip District!

Another issue visitors often have is finding public bathrooms. Although they probably wouldn't like us mentioning it, Wholey's (in the basement) has easily accessible facilities.

Hotels in the Strip District

Finally, for those looking to stay overnight in the Strip District, we fully recommend checking out the Hampton Inn and Suites which is right on the border of the Strip District and Downtown Pittsburgh and is the only hotel in downtown proper to have free parking- a true perk in the city! ( Read reviews here )

An additional hotel, the Homewood Suites , just across the street as well and is also a comfortable stay that is a few minutes closer to the sights in the Strip District overall. ( Read reviews here )

Additional hotels, such as The Westin Convention Center and Courtyard Pittsburgh Downtown are also located nearby in downtown proper. These would be a roughly 10 minute walk to the attractions in the Strip District but is quite easy all the same.

If apartment rentals are more your style, you're in luck. The Strip District and downtown Pittsburgh have a number of great apartment rental options for visitors as well. Click here to check them out!

28 thoughts on “a shopping and eating guide to pittsburgh’s strip district”.

You left out Salonika Imports located in the outskirts of the Strip. They are a Greek market and also sell delicious food and pastries.

Oh that is a new one to us! I’m a huge fan of Greek and Bulgarian food so I’m going to have to check it out. Although, I would probably say that one is in Lawrenceville and not the Strip District.

Fun read! Do check out Kelly O’s diner (across Stallman from Marty’s Market) and Enrico Biscotti’s Cafe (adjacent to the bakery).

Yes! We see Kelly O’s all the time but haven’t made it in yet. Looking forward to trying it out.

Try their famous grilled cinnamon rolls!!! <3

Sadly missing from the restaurant list is LittleBangkok, right next door to Roland’s. It is our favorite Thai in the whole area and we have tried them all.

We’ve been wanting to eat there for quite some time. Will have to check it out!

Will you, or have you run articles on live entertainment venues? Thanks

Yep! We are planning on visiting all the concert halls and performing arts venues in the city in the coming months. We’re just getting started with this one now though so we’ve only featured Mr. Smalls Funhouse in Millvale and Heinz Hall downtown. They are at the links below. On our interactive map we have a special map pin for performance venues which is blue with a saxophone on it so when things get added you’ll be able to find them there!

https://www.discovertheburgh.com/mr-smalls-funhouse/ https://www.discovertheburgh.com/heinz-hall/

Didn’t see Enrico Biscotti, Carlos Garage Cafe or winery. Land mark in the strip… Twenty+ years.” You gotta get in there”.

You didn’t meantion Roland’s for the best fish sandwich, lobster roll or raw bar. Or Luke Wholey’s. Or Pittsburgh Popcorn Company which always has lines out the door. Or the novelty and tshirt shops that line both sides of the streets. The Strip has so much to offer.

Pittsburgh Popcorn!!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! At last someone has the courage to call out Primanti’s for the awful food they serve. I have always found it a source of extreme embarrassment that that slop shop is presented to visitors as emblematic of Pittsburgh food.

Hi there – Good list, but Salonika Imports is a big omission; it’s a little out of the way, but definitely has excellent-quality Greek products (probably the best Greek cheese and olive selection in the city).

We’ve received this recommendation a lot when sharing this post, but I do have to point out that by most standards Salonika Imports is technically in Lawrenceville. We’ll be featuring it in that guide when it comes out!

Hi there – I think the confusion stems from the fact that -although technically on the fringe of Lawrenceville – Salonika is definitely a part of the working Strip (wholesalers, trucks, etc), largely made up of Penn & Smallman Streets. Lawrenceville is just a surrounding neighborhood. Most people who shop regularly in the Strip for Greek products include Salonika as part of their “rounds”. You might want to include it in both guides.

Though outside of the Strip, for out of towners, Nicholas Coffee and Tea in Market Square is located less than a mile from the Strip. They have been the standard from which ALL other coffee and tea emporiums are judged in Pittsburgh. And for a cultural stop, the University of Pittsburgh’s Cathedral of Learning is architectural genius.

I discovered this site while looking for a way to describe The Strip to out-of-state friends. Unfortunately I am now out-of-state, too, and cannot describe how “homesick” I am for Pittsburgh after reading this. Okay, the ocean is 10 minutes away, but after living a half hour drive from downtown Pittsburgh for 30 years, I MISS PITTSBURGH!!!! *whew!* Got that off my chest!!! There.is.nowhere.like.the.Strip

I really enjoyed reading through your guide. It was very informative and enjoyable to read.

I live in Pittsburgh and shamefully have not visited the Strip District in many years. Your guide has given me many reasons to take advantage of this wonderful resource again. There is so much more there than I realized.

Thank you so much for sharing all of these wonderful tips and general information about this special part of the city.

I did not see Rolands on the list – one of the oldest restaurants in the strip and still very good and going strong

Be warned going into Art of Steel (if they’re still open!), the people who work there are *miserable*.

You missed Conangelos on 21 St. A great Italian restaurant and bakery. Never leave the strip without stopping for a takeout order of pasta or pizza and a selection of three wonderful Italian peasant bake goods.

I’ve visited Pittsburgh for work many times but never got to explore much, so am finally planning my first trip exclusively for fun, and this site has been so helpful! I’m so curious about this neighborhood so am using the hotel guide, and I noticed that Marriott family just opened a new AC Hotel right on the edge of the Strip District. Have you had a chance to visit? Any thoughts!

We haven’t visited it yet but it does look like a nice hotel. We’re hoping to get out to it very soon to do a full review!

No mention of Cafe Raymond? Or did I just miss it. The jambon and brie deserves it’s own article.

Go ahead, ask for fries on the side at Primanti’s. Or even slaw. Someone will call the cops. The food cops. It’s just not allowed. Haha…

You left out the best ice cream and cookie experience in The Strip, Sam’s in the Strip. Sam’s is run by the son of Sam Alioto of Alioto’s Produce, a former long-time staple in the Strip District. You must try the Sammie, the best ice cream cookie sandwich ever. And if you want an extreme treat, try the milk shake, you won’t be disappointed!

Been trying to get down there but they seem closed at the moment. Soon!

Strip District

Price & Hours

• Food Scene 5.0
• Atmosphere 4.5

What was once a primarily industrial neighborhood is now packed with restaurants, international markets, museums and shops. The Strip District, which runs alongside the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, measures only half a square mile, but it has plenty of attractions and eateries to fill up your day (and your stomach). 

Chow down on one of Pittsburgh's staple French fry-topped sandwiches at Primanti Brothers, wait in line for a tasty breakfast at Deluca's Diner or savor the famous pancakes from Pamela's P&G Diner. You won't find many national chain restaurants in this area, and visitors say the independently run and family-owned establishments give the neighborhood its authentic Pittsburgh charm.

If you're on the hunt for new ingredients, don't miss the chance to explore markets such as Pennsylvania Macaroni Company for Italian imports, WFH Oriental Food Market for Asian treats and Reyna Foods for Mexican groceries and freshly made burritos, tamales and empanadas. Travelers appreciate the unique ingredients available here that aren't sold in standard grocery stores. 

The Strip District's wide array of cultural influences stems from its history as an immigrant neighborhood. Immigrants flocked to the area in the 19th-century because the neighborhood's ideal position along the river meant there were many job opportunities at iron mills, steel factories and glass factories. Visitors who want to learn about the area's unique history can visit the district's Heinz History Center, a Smithsonian-affiliated institution which details more than two centuries of Pittsburgh history. The Strip District is also home to theaters and art galleries, such as Contemporary Craft, which features contemporary art with a focus on cultural diversity.

When you're in the mood for some shopping, check out Roxanne's Dried Flowers for pottery, soaps, plants, aromatherapy candles and floral arrangements. Design lovers can browse eclectic home furniture at Hot Haute Hot, and Pittsburgh Steelers fans can buy the iconic "Terrible Towel" at popular sports store Yinzers in the Burgh. When walking around the Strip District, it'll be impossible to forget you're in Steelers territory, visitors say.

Typically, the Strip District is most crowded in the morning and afternoon when people are out and about for breakfast and lunch. Previous visitors warn it may take a while to find the great spots through all the hustle and bustle, but it's worth it. Or, consider making the trip on a weekday to avoid the crowds. Many advise parking a few blocks away from the busy main streets then wandering around. There is street parking around the neighborhood and many parking garages in the lower and mid-Strip (for a fee). The Strip District stretches from 11th Street to 33rd Street, and the shopping area is three blocks wide with most eateries, shops and attractions on Liberty Avenue, Penn Avenue and Smallman Street. To learn more about the Strip District neighborhood, visit the Pittsburgh tourism website .

More Best Things To Do in Pittsburgh

#1 Duquesne Incline

The Duquesne Incline is one of two uphill trolleys — and it has been carting visitors up Mount Washington since the 1870s. After falling on hard times, the Duquesne Incline was lovingly restored in 1963. But why should you visit the trolley in this area instead of the Monongahela one?

This one transports you to an ideal vantage point in Mount Washington, directly above where Pittsburgh's three rivers collide. There's a large viewing platform that extends just over the cliff and on a clear day, the view from the top makes for some excellent photographs. However, some recent visitors say you should wait and hop on the incline at night since it's less crowded and you can see the illuminated city below. Once you get to the top, aside from admiring the view, you can take some time to check out the small museum with some fun facts on Pittsburgh's history and photographs, or grab a souvenir from the gift shop. There are a few restaurants near the upper station as well, though travelers say they're pretty pricey and you're better off heading back downtown to grab a bite to eat.

September 21, 2024 10:00 AM –12:00 PM

Neighborhood walking tour: strip historic district.

Saturday, September 21 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon $20.00 per person This tour is limited to 20 participants. Tickets will not be available after 11:30 p.m. on September 20. Purchase a ticket on website: www.phlf.org The Strip District is a vibrant amalgamation of Pittsburgh’s past, present, and imagined future. It is probably best known locally for food sellers and other businesses that reflect the neighborhood’s long immigrant history. In its 200-plus-year history, however, the Strip has been a site of industry, the region’s wholesale produce distribution hub, a center for nighttime entertainment, and, most recently, a home to Pittsburgh’s flourishing technology sector. The Strip’s ongoing evolution and changing demographics are mirrored in the architecture in this sprawling neighborhood. The tour focuses on the Strip Historic District, which extends from 15th Street to 22nd Street, between Liberty Avenue and Railroad Avenue. Preservation and repurposing of historic buildings have been key to revitalization of the Strip in the last 20 years, and we will see how the mix of old and new—sometimes in the same structure—has brought renewed life to one of Pittsburgh’s most distinctive neighborhoods. Tour Meeting Point: St. Patrick Church, 1711 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 (near corner of 17th Street and Liberty). Enter garden from 17th Street and meet near the church’s steps. Tour Ending Point: The Terminal, outside the public passageway at Smallman and 17th Streets. Pittsburgh, PA 15222 Please arrive 15 minutes before start time in order to ensure that the tour gets underway on time. Dress for the weather (PHLF tours proceed rain or shine!), and wear comfortable shoes. By purchasing a ticket for this tour, you acknowledge that you are physically able to undertake the tour, assume all personal risk during the tour, consent to being photographed during the tour, and permit PHLF to use your image in our communications. This tour is handicap accessible. Please notify us of your needs two business days in advance of the tour.
