    Took the Dusquene incline up to enjoy the fabulous views from here. Once on top, we were not disappointed. And, as everyone else comments, the views are stunning!
    We strolled the neighborhood briefly and hopped into a restaurant across fross the incline to enjoy a meal. Lazy late afternoon, the area was quaint and very nice.
    Later we experienced driving the narrow and hilly streets of the area, and can't imagine how the locals manage. Tough job on that one!

    First time visiting Pittsburgh with my wife on Valentine’s Day and we fell in love with this place. It had so much charm. Couldn’t believe how beautiful (in some spots it seemed a little run down). From the tall buildings, to the beautiful bridges this city has became one of my favorite cities. We travel a lot and visit new places alot so that says something. We can’t wait to go back and explore more during the summer time.

    This is a great area for nightlife - bars, restaurants and clubs. That includes all the things “nightlife” can bring. Fun times and also drunks. Lots of cool and different places here - a little something for everyone!

    This was a very nice dog-friendly area to walk around and do some shopping. Several very nice shops to browse and buy. We arrived on a day when there was a sidewalk sale weekend going on so it was even more fun !! We would definitely recommend adding this area to you itinerary when in the pittsburgh area.

    We were in this neighborhood to get some authentic Taiwanese meal during our recent trip and happened to see this street art and eat fair. it was wonderful. The booths for the were great with a lot of variety. We came back the second day to walk the neighborhood street. great restaurants and stores to visit. We enjoyed it.

    My adult son took me as a Christmas gift. This was fun, interactive, creative and well organized. I plan to return and bring others to enjoy it. My husband came along and was reluctant to participate but he even enjoyed smelling all the scents.

    Funny it only has three reviews as it seems everyone there so "don't miss it."
    A number of places in the area get great reviews so maybe just do not think of it as a place in itself. It feels like an area still in transition from a warehouse district but lots of unique stores and places to eat and drink. If you are going to the Heinz museum for instance, give yourself time for a 45 minute (or more) stroll through the area. It is not where I would stay or spend all my time but we spent that hour there in a weeklong trip and glad we did. Sports gear was about 1/3 of the price of the ballpark and a store that sold both ice cream and books was great to visit.

    I lived there for many years. It has homes of every description and size but there really is nothing there to see or do.

    ... world-class street art and temple to Black American history right here in Pittsburgh. I have a feeling a lot of people are gonna wanna come and see this sophisticated, epic work of art. Not so many people are traveling around nowadays, but this is something real special and it'll draw a lot tourists here one day. I'm not sure I've ever seen a work of art as large as this - monumental fair to say. It almost covers the whole building. I think this place'll become some sort of shrine. Even though I don't know who the majority of the people representing black history on this beautiful mural are, I am really in awe of it. Muhammad Ali caught my eye. I've always liked and thought highly of the champ: a human being who transcended race, politics, war, amongst other things. Anyway, I came here on New Year's Eve day, nothing to do but wander around Pittsburgh and go home before people start drinking and driving. The building this art swallows is the Community Empowerment Association in the Homewood section of town. It looks like a low-income, marginalized kind of neighborhood, but I didn't see anyone out in the streets doing anything. A quiet, final place for me to go and thing to do in 2020. I'm glad to have ended the year giving some thought to people that suffered greatly in this horrible year.
