My child received these suggested places from their Pitt admissions counselor:

If you have time while in the city:

Duquesne Incline: Amazing views of the entire city! If you drive to the top and get out, there is a platform you can stand on to see the whole city. Very picturesque spot and really shows off the city. Official site of the Duquesne Incline

North Shore: Heinz Field, PNC Park, Andy Warhol Museum- fun to walk around and where students will hang out on home football days (season tickets are only $25 for students!)

Phipps Conservatory: Beautiful botanical gardens within walking distance of campus (free to Pitt students)

Places to Eat (all walkable on campus and popular for students to hang out):

Pamela’s Diner (cash only)- great for breakfast: http://pamelasdiner.com : 3703 Forbes Ave.

Dave and Andy’s Ice Cream (cash only) : You can smell it while walking around campus! 207 Atwood St.

The Milkshake Factory: Amazing milkshakes https://www.themilkshakefactory.com/ 3612 Forbes Avenue

Fuel and Fuddle: Eclectic food and a fun spot on campus http://fuelandfuddle.com/ : 212 Oakland Ave

The Porch: Great outdoor seating if the weather is nice to people watch http://www.dineattheporch.com/ : 221 Schenley Dr

Primanti Bros: famous Pittsburgh sandwich shop: www.primantibros.com/ : 3803 Forbes Ave

Go out and explore- the city is amazing and full of some great restaurants too! One of my favorite neighborhoods near campus is Shadyside if you have some extra time to explore. Lots of cute shops and great restaurants to eat at. The Southside is also really fun and a popular student hang-out area.
