I can't add much more in my review that dozens of other Yelpers haven't already said here. This is the quintessential Oakland (and possibly the entire city of Pittsburgh's) monument. Beautifully located in the heart of Oakland and the University of Pittsburgh, it's like the North Star of the city- particularly because I work on the same block. You can see it standing tall in the sky from many parts of the city, and if you follow it you will always find your way home (or for me, work. Does this analogy really work? I don't know, but I like it.). It's quite possibly the attraction at the top of the list for any visitor traveling to Pittsburgh. Beautifully crafted from the inside out, a stroll around the ground floor with peaks into each unique room is a requirement- almost as much of a requirement as a trip up the elevator to the top. When I took my first trip to the top to catch a glimpse of the entire city during my interview weekend here, I knew I had to move to Pittsburgh.
