Spring has officially sprung, and we’ve developed an itinerary for those looking to enjoy the warmer weather in vibrant Downtown.
First, gather your friends and meet up at Union Standard for a spectacular brunch. Try their Bourbon & Vanilla French Toast or delicious Steak & Eggs. Or share fresh oysters and a doughnut platter of housemade potato doughnuts.
Then, visit some of these great spots as you embark on a Downtown walking tour, highlighting Downtown Pittsburgh’s art and architecture.
Here’s the map so it’s easy to follow!
