""[The neighborhood] Bloomfield-Garfield has a bunch of art studios and they do a gallery crawl every first Friday. However, there aren't a ton of restaurants and bars. Lawrenceville is the most concentrated and saturated for shopping, decent restaurants, and walkability. It's right near the Allegheny Cemetery, which is huge and super beautiful, with tons of old mausoleums. It's a great place to go on a date, or to go hang out at night and drink wine (which is not necessarily above board).""
""Pittsburgh's set up is kind of like a triangle in between the two rivers. Everything in the triangle is the East End, which is where I think all the fun, interesting stuff is happening. But even within that, every neighborhood has a totally different vibe, has different kinds of food, different kinds of people," says Forsberg."
""It's a nice place in an old YMCA. It used to be an old Ace Hotel-I actually used to cook there in the restaurant. I think now they're building out a bar and a restaurant. There's no-contact check-in and the rooms are reasonable. They kept the same aesthetic from that old Ace Hotel.""
Pittsburgh's geography forms a triangle between two rivers with the East End hosting much of the city's cultural and social activity. Neighborhoods within the East End each have distinct vibes, food scenes, and resident mixes. Bloomfield-Garfield features art studios and a first-Friday gallery crawl but fewer restaurants and bars. Lawrenceville offers the highest concentration of shops, restaurants, and walkability and sits beside the expansive, picturesque Allegheny Cemetery with historic mausoleums ideal for walks or evening outings. A converted old YMCA hotel retains Ace Hotel aesthetics, offers reasonable rooms and no-contact check-in. Local coffee options like Redstart Roasters are favored.
