If you are new to Pittsburgh, the name can be a bit confusing, but it refers to being a literal…read morestrip of land between the river and steeper banks. Although some also say it is from the strip mills that were once in the area. Regardless of how it got its name, it is a wonderful place that anyone spending time in Pittsburgh should visit! There are restaurants of every variety. Polish, Vietnamese, seafood, Italian and the original Primanti Brothers location! There is a winery, butcher shop, places to buy kitchen items, a spice store, tons of Pittsburgh themed sports and souvenir shops. Candy stores, Pittsburgh popcorn. Maybe the most known entity is Wholey's Market with their amazing selection of fresh seafood. The strip is always busy during the day, especially on Saturday and Sunday. It is a little less crazy in the evenings because a lot of the retail stores are only open until 5, but there are still plenty of great spots to grab a bite. It is easily walkable and there are a wide variety of parking options (a municipal garage near one end, surface lots, metered spots and some businesses (like Wholey's) have their own lots. What is great is that anyone can enjoy the Strip District. You can enjoy time with your family, wander on your own, have a girls day our or have a date day. So many fun things to choose from. Definitely one of the top Pittsburgh "things to do"

Although it is a smaller store, it is filled with tons of goodies. You can find everything here from consumables like coffee beans to candles to even pierogi cat toys. I adored all the pretty local prints they had in the shop. Things were reasonably priced too. If you need to take home some artisan local PGH goods, this is the place to do it.

What my husband and I didn't like was basically being stalked by every employee in the place like we were there to loot them! If I hadn't needed a birthday present I'd have left after looking up and seeing the THIRD employee pretending not to be watching us. It was creepy and ridiculous. Idk what shoplifters are supposed to "look" like but I highly doubt we fit the bill!! This has never happened to us there before. Not sure I'll ever go back.

The title of this Yelp listing is a little deceiving. Yes, there is a gift shop here. But Wheeling…read moreArtisan Center is also a venue with a little gallery upstairs and a restaurant downstairs. The gift shop is great. There are lots of Wheeling- and West Virginia-related items to purchase. I was looking for some kind of Mothman something-or-other, and I found a few cool cryptid knickknacks. I've said it before and I'll say it again: West Virginians love their cryptids and myths, and I love it. The gift shop also had lots of clothing, soaps, durable edible goods, art and other things. There's a restaurant inside the Wheeling Artisan Center, but it looked closed when we visited. Upstairs, there's a gallery with historic Wheeling items on display. You can learn about things that were made or originated in Wheeling, like Bayer aspirin, Mail Pouch Tobacco signs, and even a type of cigar. It's fun to peruse while you're in the area, and it's also free to visit.

The staff is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. They know a lot of information about the individual artisans and about Pittsburgh in general. You can find something for as little as around $5, but can spend hundreds depending on what you purchase. But it is absolutely worth it.

She turns around, looks at me and turns back around and starts chatting with the male employee. Neither one of them asked me if they could help. I was shopping for a pirate shirt for my nephew's birthday. I didn't realize the Pirate stuff was in the back and no one cared if I looked lost. When the female and male finally came to the back, it wasn't for me.. When the female came back the second time, it was to ask the couple that just walked in if they were ok. Im not sure if she followed me back up to the register, but she was right there and said absolutely nothing to me when I said goodbye. I guess you don't have to be decent anymore. You just lost a good customer. I won't be back.
