The Strip District is fast transforming from industrial warehouses into industrial-chic lofts. However, the old charm of this neighborhood is preserved in the family-owned storefronts and restaurants peddling their wares on the sidewalks of Penn Ave. Take a long stroll or bike ride down (bring some shopping bags!) and get high quality ingredients for a home-cooked meal and all of the Steeler's apparel one could want!

Food scene
A 20 minute walk from 312 39th Street (including taking some of Pittsburgh's famed stairs), this mecca of Pittsburgh's punk culture caters to vegans and meat-eaters alike. They have house-made donuts featured a few days out of the weak and their breakfast sandwich is delicious. Not to mention their coffee is reliably delicious!

Born of the pandemic, 40North is exemplary of Pittsburgh's unassuming food scene. There is something for everyone here. My favorites are the smoked trout and The Bandit cocktail (add gin). Reservations are preferred but they have always been able to accommodate a few guests with little notice.

The entrance on 38th is hard to find, but once you get up the ramp into the door, you're transported into an intimate izakaya-style Japanese sushi bar and restaurant (once you make it up the two flights of steep stairs). This is where I go when I want to feel like I had a big night out (there is usually a DJ in the corner) but don't actually want to go to a club. Reservations are advisable but I usually don't have a problem just sitting at the bar without one.

Owned by a local Jewish woman, this spot is worth the drive over (though parking is tricky) to the Squirrel Hill neighborhood for the best bagel in the 'burgh (and it's kosher, to boot!). If you're with a friend, one of you should get the veggie, one gets the lox, and you split the halves! Lots of veggie friendly and vegan options as well!
