I like how central the location was to all the things we came to do. The fountains dancing to the music was fun and I'm glad the security guard pointed it out to us or I would have never known they were there. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the free water show!

The Waterfront is a shopping center that is located close to the city, contains several dozen…read morebusinesses, and looks nicer than most other shopping centers. As of the time of this review, options for foods and drinks include a Giant Eagle grocery store, a Fine Wine & Good Spirits, and about 20 restaurants (e.g., Burgatory, Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, Crazy Mason, Eat 'n Park, Jimmy John's, Longhorn, Storming Crab, and Yokoso). I enjoy many of the restaurants. Retail stores present a good number of options for clothing (e.g., Dick's Sporting Goods, LOFT, and Rally House), footwear (e.g., DSW and Shoe Fly), home goods (e.g., Costco, Lowe's, Michael's, Mattress Firm, and Petco), and health and beauty products (e.g., Bath & Body Works, GNC, and Ulta). Current entertainment includes AMC movie theater, Barnes & Noble bookstore, Dave & Buster's, Improv comedy club, Paint Monkey, and Urban Air Adventure Park. Other current businesses are a few banks, a few hotels, some cell-phone stores, a gym, and healthcare providers (e.g., dental and vision). As you can see, this shopping center has numerous options for different types of customers to eat a meal, go shopping, and be entertained. This shopping center does not contain all of my favorite stores, but I like it more than most other shopping centers in the Pittsburgh area. I even have a friend who drives two hours one-way to shop here.

Great shopping area and all kinds of food, shops, and stores. Located outside of Pittsburgh this is…read morea newer, modern, trendy outdoor shopping plaza with all sorts of options. It is a cool trendy place and I had fun walking around and taking it all in. I looked it up and it sits on the old U.S. Steel's Homestead Steel Works plant and there are some smokestacks and other artistic elements still visible. I grabbed a coffee at Starbucks, shopped at Ultra Beauty, Target, and at Lunch Mexican restaurant. Would recommend the area.

I think that Squirrel Hill is one of the best neighborhoods in the city of Pittsburgh. It contains…read moremostly residential homes but also parts of Schenley Park, Frick Park, Carnegie Mellon University, many retail stores, and many delicious restaurants. For many years my husband and I have visited Squirrel Hill, mostly to shop and dine. We always park our vehicle in a garage. We recommend putting a bit more money into the parking meter than you expect to need, because we have seen a police officer writing many parking tickets for vehicles in that garage. Most recently, my husband and I did a self-designed food tour in several restaurants on Murray Avenue and Forbes Avenue. We ate at T-Swirl Crepe, Waffallonia, Amazing Dumplings, Commonplace Coffee, and Hidden Harbor. We also shopped in Panda Supermarket, Chocolate Moose, and Ebisu and spent time in the Carnegie Library. Previously we enjoyed eating at Kiin Lao & Thai Eatery, Ramen Bar, Kyo Matcha, Mango Mango, etcetera. We always appreciate how the business district has a diverse population and international cuisine, is very walkable, and feels safe.

It's because my theme is a progressive dinner style around Asian restaurants. I saw a lot of storefronts on Forbes that were covered with coming soon building wraps. They were all Asian restaurants. That's a good sign. For sure, it's a progress with economic prosperity in this neighborhood. I stayed at an Airbnb with walking distance to the center of the attention. My only gripe was that not many restaurants open on Sunday morning. But I enjoyed my morning stroll alone to witness the fall colors. That's a bonus on this trip. I could never see this sight in Houston Texas, where I'm from.

Welcome to the holiday home for the largest inflatable pickle in the burgh! Set in the middle of…read morethe plaza the pickle has the famous "Heinz" name written on it. You can stand and have your picture taken in front of it or just check it out. They also have a bandshell set up for entertainment. Possibly that was set up for light up night but may be incorporated during the holiday season. Nearby is a souvenir shop selling all types of Heinz merchandise including replicas of the pickle. I recognized some of the merchandise coming from places I had visited before such as Commonwealth Press. EQT plaza is basically a small park area with some statues near the Benedum Center. My last visit here was during the Three Rivers Arts Festival where part of the artist's market was set up in this square. It's a nice place to have lunch on a warm summer day and get out and enjoy the fresh air. Main entry is on Liberty Ave. Check it out if you are in the area.

One of them is this awkwardly standing bloke in a business suit who is hanging out just by the front of the building, as if he can't make up his mind to go into the building or escape away? The second sculpture is of the two gals hanging out with their violins by the bike rack. Frankly bizarre to me both the placement and the topic. Other than this, this plaza has many of different kinds of seating options so easy to sit and chill out! Note: #340 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

This mall is not my go-to, but I do like to stop here occasionally. During my recent visit, I shopped at some of the stores. The stores had a decent selection of merchandise, and I found some items to purchase. The parking lot had a sufficient number of spaces for vehicles and seemed to be safe.

Is it a Mall? Not really. It's more of a big long plaza. One end has a Taco Bell and a Giant…read moreEagle Market District store and the other end has a Mad Mex Mexican restaurant. There's a bunch of other restaurants as well, coffee shops, miscellaneous retailers and a Walmart (not a Supercenter). You could easily spend a few hours here and do some damage to your wallet. It's always been spread out enough where there always seems to be plenty of parking (holiday shopping may be different). It may even be on the bus line from the city. If you're looking for a traditional indoor mall, Pittsburgh Mills isn't far up Rt. 28, but like many malls, it's seen better days.

However, the biggest issue I encountered was the delay in processing my order.

I've been a customer at Larrimor's for years, and I'm disappointed in how the store handled a very…read moresimple issue. Their employees never asked for my birthday when setting up my profile, which meant I never received the birthday gift cards they advertise. When I contacted the store to correct it and asked for the past year's missed offer, the owner (Tom Michael) refused, even though the mistake was caused by their own staff. Instead of honoring the gift card I should have received, I was only offered a donation made "in my name" to a charity. While that may sound generous, it doesn't solve the original problem, and it left me feeling like the store wasn't willing to take responsibility for their own oversight. It was a very small request and could have been resolved easily with good customer service, but it wasn't. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend shopping here or trying to resolve any issues directly with the owner. There are plenty of other stores that value their customers and stand behind their promotions.
