A well-appointed event venue geared to the medical community, Pavillion X is located in the heart…read moreof The Golden Triangle. The downstairs is a large, modern event space with leather seating, a bar, and WiFi. Upstairs there is a beautiful, state of the art conference room with every bell and whistle. I attended two events there recently and felt it was a top notch facility. This is definitely a space to look into for medical-surgical training sessions (there is a complete surgical facility on the top floor from which procedures can be streamed via video) or any educational trainings. It would also be a great venue if you need a beautiful space to hold a party, shower, reception, etc. on the ground floor.

Having this place within literal walking distance of my apartment was the best. It's an absolute powerhouse of a collective where the vibe is brilliantly chaotic and endlessly welcoming. On any given night, you can wander in and find yourself surrounded by a wild mix of local art, ranging from moody, glow-in-the-dark multimedia installations to stunning contemporary paintings and custom apparel. But it's not just a gallery; it's a living, breathing community hub. I've walked over for everything from super chill community yoga sessions and intensely focused figure drawing classes to packed open mics, live band showcases, and the legendary Lawrenceville Art Crawl after-parties. Having such a kaleidoscope of local talent, music, and performance just a short stroll away made me feel incredibly spoiled; it's the definitive beating heart of the neighborhood's art scene.

This place was a cute venue for a child's party or play date. It reminded me of The Center for…read moreCreative Play that used to exist in West Mifflin. I think that place has long since been converted into a Whole Foods. There were lots of toys and activities to keep the one -four age group entertained but it was lacking a quiet space for kids to decompress. Sometimes kids (and parents) need a quiet space. The Center for Creative Play had numerous quiet space areas filled with pillows and soft music. I sincerely appreciated that. I will say that the woman at the front desk was extremely friendly and personable and the restrooms were clean. I read a startling statistic once that nearly 60 percent of diaper changing stations are riddled with bacteria and cocaine residue- I felt safe to assume that My Lil Play Place was part of the cocaine free minority. The Purel wipes took care of any lingering bacteria suspicions. I would definitely give this place another chance to win me over. My daughter had a really good time.
