Came here to see the Marvelous Wonderettes this past week- what a treat this was! The talent of…read morethese actors is off the charts, and you can tell how much work they put into every performance! The seating is small and intimate , probably not room for more than 50, so everywhere you sit you will have a great view of the show! The parking can get a little tricky, but there are shuttles if you park on the streets in Carnegie, and even if you can't figure out the shuttle schedule or if none are being offered the night of your ticket, it's just a short walk up the hill from Main Street! The next time I come to a show here I'll be sure to plan dinner and a drink at 131 East before or after ! So glad I got to experience this local performance stage !

Saw Avenue Q here, first time seeing a show. Only $18 and plentiful free parking in the area. They…read moredid a very good job, and don't charge any bogus ticketing fees for online tickets either. The Music Hall here is patterned after the Carnegie Music Hall in New York. It kind of looks like it, but the acoustics don't seem to be that great.. I sat near the back and at some point it was hard to hear. But overall, location (especially for people near Pittsburgh airport area), price and convenience can't be beat... I will be back.

I couldn't imagine walking up the street or steps from the main street in Carnegie to the Library…read more Let's hear it for automobiles. Built high on the hill, I am sure it witnessed a lot of Pittsburgh history. The kind staff allowed us to see the theater. It is very similar to Carnegie Library of Homestead. The lower level seats have been adopted and refurbished with nice padding. The Library is still raising funds to refurbish the seats on the 2nd floor. The fireplace on the main floor of the Library is enormous from floor to ceiling (at least 20 ft ceilings). The Civil War Nurses exhibit brought us to the library. Very enjoyable. We will be back to experience other events at the Library and theater. Ample parking during Library hours. Not sure enough parking onsite for theater events. Street parking available.

He was not a student of the studio at the time but was warmly welcomed by everyone involved. One of the things we love is that in addition to the annual recital, they stage two full production ballets and a play. Kids of all abilities, sizes and talent levels are involved which isn't always the case in dance. In addition to the productions, classes are great. They are affordable and class sizes tend to be on the smaller side. We actually come from Monroeville to dance here (and many others come from a variety of towns too). If you are looking for a friendly, inclusive dance environment that also has great performance opportunities this is definitely the place.

Thanks to him, we found out about a really great hidden gem, and I now want everyone to know how cool this place is. This gallery / studio is located in a private home, yet the owners open it up to the public for art shows and special exhibits. They also have an on-site store. Everything here is so incredible, they did a fantabulous job in both restoring this place to grandeur, and filling it with incredible pieces of art. Look forward to coming back again soon ...

Pittsburgh Pottery is definitely one of the best shops in Carnegie, and is a must-visit for anyone…read morewho loves Pittsburgh. In their own words, this team strives "to provide locals, expats and newcomer Burgh fans alike with unique, functional and decorative ceramics." I personally own a few things from this shop, and I also keep it in mind as a local shopping option whenever a holiday or birthday is coming up. The items produced and sold here are all fantastic. From Steeler Nation and "nebby" mugs to pierogi magnets, the things that you think of when you think of the Steel City are very likely recognized in ceramic form at Pittsburgh Pottery. Regarding the specific items they sell, I'm particularly fond of their "Worsh" soap dispenser design, which is possibly the perfect combination of practical and Pittsburgh-centric design. The mug collection here is also great, with a variety of sizes as well as a variety of patterns (some of which also come with variations in their color schemes). Bonus points: since the business moved into a bigger storefront in Carnegie in the last couple of years, browsing through their fabulous creations is even more enjoyable. The extra space to walk and admire the store makes for a very relaxing visit, and the large front windows help to illuminate the shop and highlight the gorgeous ceramics. Plus, the new storefront even includes a "sale nook" - a little side room with items that, while still beautiful, have some sort of imperfection that has earned them a discount price. So there you have it, readers: yinz better stop in here soon if you love Pittsburgh! Alternatively, if you're holding off on visiting storefronts for the time being, you can browse their website and find the perfect Steel City trinket there. However you choose to shop, the ceramics made here are all high-quality, eye-catching creations, and you won't be disappointed.
