Yashy — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 20:08:42 +0000

When the hubs and I first decided to explore Pittsburgh for our first getaway outside of Canada without the kids, I had mediocre expectations about the city. What I came to discover is that Pittsburgh is a foodie city that many overlook for various reasons and I truly believe now is the time to visit this

Eating at Meat & Potatoes in Downtown Pittsburgh

Chris — Thu, 10 Mar 2016 17:37:22 +0000

I used to love making lists. Favorite movies, favorite albums, favorite books…I always liked to have my opinions written down, annually giving the best movie I saw that year its proper due. Film had always been my go to topic, but eventually, I got sick of answering the question, “what is your favorite movie?” It

Downtown Pittsburgh Hotel Hangouts

Growing up in Dubai and Sri Lanka, hotel lobbies and restaurants were THE place to be seen at and we’d often spend our Friday dinners, Saturday high teas and Sunday brunches at one hotel or another. Moving to North America saw me hangout at hotels less frequently but I’m noticing the hotel hangout culture slowly returning.

During our escape without the kids, we stayed at the Omni William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh and given that the property will soon be celebrating their centennial, we wanted to share our thoughts about this historic property in downtown Pittsburgh. Having flown in on Porter Airlines, we decided to take a bus into downtown Pittsburgh

On Sunday, January 31st, 2016, the temperature in Pittsburgh, PA reached 16 degrees Celsius (or 61 Fahrenheit if you live in a country where Donald Trump is running for president). Yashy and I were enjoying our final afternoon in the city, exploring the downtown area minus all the winter gear we brought along with us

Visiting the Strip District in Pittsburgh

Chris — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:00:18 +0000

Having lived for almost 10 years in Halifax, I have come to appreciate a great walking city. Pittsburgh, with its downtown located at the intersection of three rivers in Western Pennsylvania, is just such a city. During our recent visit, we took advantage of record January temperatures, including a near-scorching 17 Degree Sunday afternoon, and

Dining in a Railway Station at the Grand Concourse #MurphysDoPittsburgh

Yashy — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 12:07:57 +0000

During our visit to Pittsburgh without the kids, we were invited to dine in an old railway station and of course, given my love for everything grandiose and oozing with historic charm, I said yes! The Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad Station was built in 1901 and the 80,000 square foot historical landmark was a major transportation

When it came to our Pittsburgh trip, my main goal was to eat and drink during our kid-free escape and the only touristy thing I wanted to do was enjoy the city views from the incline I had heard about. During our two night visit to the city of bridges, we enjoyed sleeping in at the

Craft Beer Adventures in Downtown Pittsburgh

Chris — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 16:41:19 +0000

In the two days I spent walking around downtown Pittsburgh, I came to the slow realization that it was next to impossible to find a good beer shop. In fact, I didn’t see one place where a bottle of beer could be purchased, outside of the occasional 7-Eleven. I found a few Wine & Spirit

Kid Free Pittsburgh Escape

Yashy — Mon, 01 Feb 2016 12:10:47 +0000

As you know we’ve always loved our Porter flights with the kids and the last time the hubs and I flew alone on Porter was for our Babymoon in Quebec city back in 2011. I had won a Porter flight at an event I had attended over the summer and with great deals to Pittsburgh, the
