  • This is always an interesting part of Pittsburgh to visit and it's really the place to be on most weekends. For most Pittsburgher's, it's a tradition. This part of Pittsburgh dates back to the 19th century and was originally home to mills and factories. Located along the Allegheny River, this was a good spot for transportation of goods and materials. U.S. Steel, Westinghouse and The Pittsburgh Reduction Company were early tenants of the Strip District. This was later the location for H.J. Heinz Company, famous for ketchup. The Strip District later became a spot for wholesalers of meat, poultry and produce. Even later, restaurants and grocery stores were built to serve the local workers. By the 1920s, the Strip District was the economic center of Pittsburgh. Today, there are still several wholesalers and produce dealers, but gone is the manufacturing plants and mills. Many of the abandoned warehouses have been renovated into small specialty shops, restaurants, nightclubs, and bars. Stand out historical buildings include the St. Stanislaus Kostka Church, which was built in the 1891 to 1892. Another beautiful building is the century-old Chautauqua Lake Ice Company building which houses The Senator John Heinz History Center. The area has developed into a historic market district with an interesting mix of ethnic foods, art studios, antique dealers, interesting boutiques, and other businesses setting up shop where trains once delivered products by the ton. The Strip District is alive on weekends during the summer months as the ever-changing variety of sidewalk vendors hock their wares, the open-air farmer's markets are in full swing, and others sit outside and enjoy a drink. The area has seen interest by residential developers recently. Some of the old factory and warehouse buildings are being transformed into apartments and lofts. Examples include the Cork Factory, Brake House Lofts Apartments and more recently the Otto Milk Condos. For us, it's a hangout to casually pretend to shop, generally buying a lot of nothing, but looking at everything. We also like to try a different restaurant on every visit.
