| - I'm about to revisit some of the Pittsburgh Strip District businesses I have bookmarked to review from my late-December trip to the city and figured there's no better place to start than The Strip itself.
One of my favorite places in the world, really. So much culture, so much diversity, so much food!
Pittsburgh winter weather makes The Strip more enjoyable in the summertime than during winter months, but whatever. That certainly doesn't mean that the area isn't bubbling with activity on the snowiest, windiest, coldest of days. The hustle and bustle here rocks.
Parking can be tough, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. I think Smallman Street is the best bet; even if parking areas are packed the wait usually isn't too long as people are constantly coming and going. Just keep circling around, and keep an eye out for parking meters and spots marked "TOW AWAY" because they're not always so obvious.
Among my favorite businesses on The Strip--ones that I never miss when I'm in town--are Wholey's Market, The Pennsylvania Macaroni Company, Stamoolis Brothers, Reyna Foods, Art of Steel, and Lotus Foods.
Always looking forward to my next trip back to The Strip!
