It's the kind of place that immediately feels special -- warm lighting, thoughtfully curated items, and a vibe that's effortlessly charming. The owner was lovely -- super friendly, helpful without hovering, and so easy to talk to. You can tell she genuinely cares about what she carries and the people who walk through the door. Lots of beautiful pieces, including some unique European labels I haven't seen elsewhere. Whether you're looking for a gift or just a little "treat yourself" moment, this spot is it. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in town!

There are a ton of lovely gifts to get here for others or yourself. Many are imports from France or Italy. I wanted to get multiple candles, but left with one candle, one really nice shoulder bag (this is what drew me here in the first place, as I had seen it in the window and returned when they were open), and a lip balm ahead of the chilly winter weather that has arrived! I will say the prices here are a bit high, but everything here is of very high quality, and in comparison to the manufacturer or brand websites of the items I purchased, the prices were actually very close in comparison. It also always makes me feel good to support local businesses that are creating the flavor of the city we live in.

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.

They have done such a phenomenal job rehabbing that building. It sat there for so long and…read moredisrepair and I hoped they would do something. Now they have and it's a fun place to go shop, eat and drink. My favorite places in there are Novo Food Hall, Askin Brewery, Heibers, City Winery and Shake Shack. You can get something quick to eat if you lack time before an event at Shake Shack. They have great burgers. Novo is a great place to go and try out all different things from all different Asian foods from Japan, Korea and the Philippines. We've tried several different places and had lots of great dishes. If you need a drink and some good food to wash it down then Aslin is the place to go. They even have trivia nights which are lots of fun. I love going to concerts and City Winery is a fun spot to see a show because it's a small venue which has no bad seats. We have seen. Comedians and concerts there. If you pay in cash at the venue, you can avoid the fees. You can go there for a fun afternoon or a great evening with friends and family.

The Terminal is…read moreright down the street from where I work, and one day I went to grab lunch at Chipotle, not realizing what I was about to walk into. The building itself is pretty unassuming. Utalitarian like most Pittsburgh buildings. But the Terminal houses such an eclectic collection of places that it's almost absurd. Back to back you can find wine, ice cream, books (SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT BOOKSELLERS!), VR game rooms, a facial salon (giggity), an Asian food hall, independent beer brewers... There's literally a little of everything. The Terminal is the sort of place where you intend to go for one thing and spend the rest of the hour wandering looking at cool stuff. If you have an afternoon to kill, it's definitely worth a look.

As a former residence and tourist, I really, really "love" Love, Pittsburgh…read more Truthfully, what isn't to love about this place? Personally, I love a tourist shop. As someone who loves to travel, I love picking up random items from my travels, little things here and there, but you know most of it tends to be cheaply made stuff that really isn't anything you want to display- mostly stuff you put in a box, but the things sold at Love, Pittsburgh really are works of art. You can get literally pieces of Pittsburgh art, essentially everything sold there is from local artists which makes it even better. Candles, cool postcards, notebooks, coasters, so many cool items, all with a great flare to it that's truly unique to Pittsburgh and again, they're good quality and the prices aren't sky high. The staff there is AMAZING. Super friendly. Super helpful. So nice. Really helpful. Just really makes you really what a great place Pittsburgh is. You're going to find something great here I just know it, whether it's for you someone you love or yourself. OR both.

Stickers. Trinkets. Gizmos. Gadgets. Whozits. Whatzits. You could spend hours in here looking at all of the creativity, humor, and the immaculately curated whimsical elegance of everything in between. Local artists. Small businesses. Fresh brands. Major franchises. And everything in between. Yeah, you could be a jagoff and scan everything and possibly find a cheaper price by $0.50 on Amazon... but didn't you just fill enjoy the curation of this store to the value of that $0.50. Somehow even with tight aisles and every nook and cranny accounted for... the employees keep this all perfectly organized. If you are in Shadyside, you'd be a fool to not take a lap through here.

They have a mouse pad. So it is a visitor center with lots of advice but they have lots of Pittsburgh stuff for sale. I am still trying to figure out a place for those beautiful prints. But what a treat to come in here. Very reasonable if something catches your eye. Otherwise good tourist advice.
