Although Monroeville is local-ish, I am a total tourist when strolling The Strip!
I love the shops and never leave empty-handed (or hungry!!), but destination is not typically narrowed beyond "The Strip".
Great art shops, many cultures, bustle? puts Miss Kitty to shame!, fantastic smells, seafood galore and 100% Pittsburgh.
My rating math is this: 6-stars minus one for parking! Five it is--
Hoping that another benefit of empty-nest is becoming a Strip regular! Wish me luck!
