Every day I find something new to like in this city that became my accidental home. The Terminal is…read moreright down the street from where I work, and one day I went to grab lunch at Chipotle, not realizing what I was about to walk into. The building itself is pretty unassuming. Utalitarian like most Pittsburgh buildings. But the Terminal houses such an eclectic collection of places that it's almost absurd. Back to back you can find wine, ice cream, books (SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT BOOKSELLERS!), VR game rooms, a facial salon (giggity), an Asian food hall, independent beer brewers... There's literally a little of everything. The Terminal is the sort of place where you intend to go for one thing and spend the rest of the hour wandering looking at cool stuff. If you have an afternoon to kill, it's definitely worth a look.

I like how central the location was to all the things we came to do. The fountains dancing to the music was fun and I'm glad the security guard pointed it out to us or I would have never known they were there. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the free water show!

The Waterfront is a shopping center that is located close to the city, contains several dozen…read morebusinesses, and looks nicer than most other shopping centers. As of the time of this review, options for foods and drinks include a Giant Eagle grocery store, a Fine Wine & Good Spirits, and about 20 restaurants (e.g., Burgatory, Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, Crazy Mason, Eat 'n Park, Jimmy John's, Longhorn, Storming Crab, and Yokoso). I enjoy many of the restaurants. Retail stores present a good number of options for clothing (e.g., Dick's Sporting Goods, LOFT, and Rally House), footwear (e.g., DSW and Shoe Fly), home goods (e.g., Costco, Lowe's, Michael's, Mattress Firm, and Petco), and health and beauty products (e.g., Bath & Body Works, GNC, and Ulta). Current entertainment includes AMC movie theater, Barnes & Noble bookstore, Dave & Buster's, Improv comedy club, Paint Monkey, and Urban Air Adventure Park. Other current businesses are a few banks, a few hotels, some cell-phone stores, a gym, and healthcare providers (e.g., dental and vision). As you can see, this shopping center has numerous options for different types of customers to eat a meal, go shopping, and be entertained. This shopping center does not contain all of my favorite stores, but I like it more than most other shopping centers in the Pittsburgh area. I even have a friend who drives two hours one-way to shop here.

Great shopping area and all kinds of food, shops, and stores. Located outside of Pittsburgh this is…read morea newer, modern, trendy outdoor shopping plaza with all sorts of options. It is a cool trendy place and I had fun walking around and taking it all in. I looked it up and it sits on the old U.S. Steel's Homestead Steel Works plant and there are some smokestacks and other artistic elements still visible. I grabbed a coffee at Starbucks, shopped at Ultra Beauty, Target, and at Lunch Mexican restaurant. Would recommend the area.

I think that Squirrel Hill is one of the best neighborhoods in the city of Pittsburgh. It contains…read moremostly residential homes but also parts of Schenley Park, Frick Park, Carnegie Mellon University, many retail stores, and many delicious restaurants. For many years my husband and I have visited Squirrel Hill, mostly to shop and dine. We always park our vehicle in a garage. We recommend putting a bit more money into the parking meter than you expect to need, because we have seen a police officer writing many parking tickets for vehicles in that garage. Most recently, my husband and I did a self-designed food tour in several restaurants on Murray Avenue and Forbes Avenue. We ate at T-Swirl Crepe, Waffallonia, Amazing Dumplings, Commonplace Coffee, and Hidden Harbor. We also shopped in Panda Supermarket, Chocolate Moose, and Ebisu and spent time in the Carnegie Library. Previously we enjoyed eating at Kiin Lao & Thai Eatery, Ramen Bar, Kyo Matcha, Mango Mango, etcetera. We always appreciate how the business district has a diverse population and international cuisine, is very walkable, and feels safe.

A quaint neighborhood in the suburb of Pittsburgh. I came here to host a foodie meetup event with…read moremy coworkers. Why Squirrel Hill? It's because my theme is a progressive dinner style around Asian restaurants. I saw a lot of storefronts on Forbes that were covered with coming soon building wraps. They were all Asian restaurants. That's a good sign. For sure, it's a progress with economic prosperity in this neighborhood. I stayed at an Airbnb with walking distance to the center of the attention. My only gripe was that not many restaurants open on Sunday morning. But I enjoyed my morning stroll alone to witness the fall colors. That's a bonus on this trip. I could never see this sight in Houston Texas, where I'm from.

Waterworks Mall is a fairly nice-looking shopping center or strip mall that contains a few dozen…read morebusinesses, including those for groceries, restaurants, movies, healthcare, clothing, home goods, books, pet supplies, banking, etcetera. This mall is not my go-to, but I do like to stop here occasionally. During my recent visit, I shopped at some of the stores. The stores had a decent selection of merchandise, and I found some items to purchase. The parking lot had a sufficient number of spaces for vehicles and seemed to be safe.

Is it a Mall? Not really. It's more of a big long plaza. One end has a Taco Bell and a Giant…read moreEagle Market District store and the other end has a Mad Mex Mexican restaurant. There's a bunch of other restaurants as well, coffee shops, miscellaneous retailers and a Walmart (not a Supercenter). You could easily spend a few hours here and do some damage to your wallet. It's always been spread out enough where there always seems to be plenty of parking (holiday shopping may be different). It may even be on the bus line from the city. If you're looking for a traditional indoor mall, Pittsburgh Mills isn't far up Rt. 28, but like many malls, it's seen better days.

I won't say don't go here, but know, that they have a fraction of the inventory as other Targets. *whispers... if you have time, go to Burlington across the street instead*

I've been a customer at Larrimor's for years, and I'm disappointed in how the store handled a very…read moresimple issue. Their employees never asked for my birthday when setting up my profile, which meant I never received the birthday gift cards they advertise. When I contacted the store to correct it and asked for the past year's missed offer, the owner (Tom Michael) refused, even though the mistake was caused by their own staff. Instead of honoring the gift card I should have received, I was only offered a donation made "in my name" to a charity. While that may sound generous, it doesn't solve the original problem, and it left me feeling like the store wasn't willing to take responsibility for their own oversight. It was a very small request and could have been resolved easily with good customer service, but it wasn't. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend shopping here or trying to resolve any issues directly with the owner. There are plenty of other stores that value their customers and stand behind their promotions.

Sorry I have to ding them this time. Was in Pittsburgh in early February for a conference with my…read morewife and had some hours so thought I'd revisit this nice little department-style store. I forgot how full-price it was... it's almost as if it's more than what the brand itself costs. One doesn't see that these days... The selection here is decent for a store of its size, if not a little rando. It feels somewhat curated but there's enough variety of brands to choose from to make the visit worth it for that... The issue was the service. We walked in and were almost immediately accosted by a salesman: Salesperson: "Hi welcome in, can I help you find something? What brings you in?" Me: "No thanks, just here to browse..." S: "OK what brings you to town? Business or visiting family?" Me: "Just on a quick trip thanks, we'll look over here" S: "What kind of business are you in?" Me: "Different things..." S: "So are you here for meetings?"... And so on--the guy literally followed us closely as we made our way from one end of the store to another. He stopped when I was looking at something, at which point another salesperson came up and asked the same salvo of questions Guy number one came back and started up again "so are you staying nearby?..." We were literally chased out of the store by its salespeople. Here's a better script for them: "Salesperson: Hi, my name is X, welcome to Larrimor's" Me: "No thanks, just here to browse..." "Salesperson: sounds good, just let me know if I can help you find anything" Hounding customers and charging more than the designers themselves is not a great way to do business these days, but I'm keeping four stars out of respect for a longtime Pittsburgh institution. Maybe next time I can look around in peace!
