Drinks & Nightlife
I use to love to go here because of the off the wall interior aesthetics. They also had a pretty fun 80s night dance party on Friday, and drunken spelling bee Monday nights. It's been a couple of years since I've been- I have a 1 year old so my nights consist of watching Disney movies on Netflix.

Small bar that his a little hard to find, as it is a like a prohibition period speakeasy. Fantastic art crafted drinks. Large whiskey and scotch menu. I don't like either whiskey or scotch but the drinks are amazing and the bartenders are dressed in prohibition era clothing. Limited seating. Get there early to get a seat

Parks & Nature
When I need some fresh air & exercise I grab a coffee and head to Southsdie riverfront trail- approximately 6 or so blocks south of my house. There is a marina, near the the Southside works and the bike trail runs east all the way to Washington D.C. Or west to downtown Pittsburgh. There is a riverfront park off of 18th street with a doggy park, lots of geese that beg for food, and a boat lunch. The trail runs right through it. Perfect for a stroll with the baby. Enjoy!

Early Saturday morning the strip district is filled with people shopping outdoor vendors: produce, baked goods, flowers books, food, clothing etc. I love Pennsylvania Macaroni company- largest selection of imported and domestic cheese. I LOVE cheese and they know their cheeses. They'll let you sample any of them. 1,000 day aged Gouda, Four Counties cheese, and my favorite aged cheddar. They have many other food items, pasta, bread, meats, spices, etc. fun to look around. Don't forget to stop at Klavons ice cream parlor - a step back in time. Wholey's fish market for fresh fish.
