| - If I die and go to heaven, I hope it's an eternity spent at Schenley Plaza. I love Pittsburgh and have lived here my whole life, hecks I was born 5 minutes from SP at Magee, and of this old rusty steel town, this is my favorite place. It is a dream here all year. You're surrounded by happy people, rich culture, beautiful scenery, delicious and diverse food options, and your choice of recreational activities.
Schenley Plaza sits in the eye of Oakland, immediately surrounded by the Carnegie Complex (music hall, museum, library), Frick Fine Arts Building, Hillman Library, and overshadowed by the Cathedral of Learning. Immediately within the plaza itself, you can lay on the grass, read a book, write a yelp review (meta), enjoy a good meal from Conflict Kitchen or The Porch, or enjoy a desert from Waffallonia. Within a short walk you can see the Love Locks bridge, Phipps Conservatory, Heinz Chapel, CMU, Schenley Park, lots of shops and restaurants, and the Pitt main campus.
In the summer there are fun free concerts and activities you can go to, or do what I like to do: not much and just hang out here in the sun. Also a great place to take a date.
PS: Old Pittsburghers will remember when this place was a parking lot... obvi a much better use of space now.
