I looked around and there e was no parking at all except parking garages. I choose this garage as it seemed to be the closest. My experience was not so great. I went in took a ticket and drove from bottom to top many times looking for a spot with no avail. I did see a few spots but no way my big jeep grand Cherokee would fit. I drove around for about 35 minutes and was about to give up and leave then found one finally. The spot was very tight but got in. Overall was not thrilled with garage as they should have said full before entering it. I would say that the spots were seemingly for smaller cars and I also found that there were not enough handicap spots. The driving in the garage was very tight especially for a big car. I personally would stay away from this garage. I would not go again unless I had to

I like this garage. It's one of the best and cleanest and safest places to park in the city…read more There's always an attendant on duty, at least during the daytime. You must show photo ID upon entering. The parking rate is reasonable, considering its proximity to the heart of downtown. 1 hour $7 two or more is $14. (Please refer to my photo) The uniformed guard / attendant is always friendly and helpful. He's like a concierge in a hotel. He pretty much knows where to go and how to get you there. This is is my other favorite place to park after 4 p.m. and weekends. After 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday, parking is only $4.. I would definitely check this place out if you need to park somewhere clean, safe and close to the heart of downtown.

The Shadyside Garage is located in the Walnut Business District, which has lots of restaurants and…read moreretail stores but little street parking. I felt very thankful to find this garage to park my vehicle. This garage contains a couple hundred parking spaces, and it is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. As of 2023, the parking rates are $3 for less than 1 hour, $6 for less than 3 hours, $9 for less than 5 hours, and $12 for over 5 hours. A monthly lease is also available. Customers may pay either cash or credit card to either the cashier or the machines. My husband and I parked our vehicle at this garage for less than one hour, so we had to pay only $3. One payment machine was not working, and a long line of customers was waiting for the other machine. The cashier called my husband and me over to his window, and in a matter of seconds, the cashier accepted our payment, and he told us, "Have a good one!" My husband and I rode the elevator up to our parking level to retrieve our vehicle. As we exited the garage, we put our paid parking ticket in the exit machine.

The Forbes-Shady Parking Lot is a fairly small parking lot that is located in a crowded commercial…read morearea. It is squeezed between rows of businesses. I had trouble with finding a parking space on the streets, so after driving around for many minutes, I waited for a spot to open in this parking lot. One person decided to drink his beverage in his vehicle for several minutes rather than leave his parking spot--grr! I felt happy when another person promptly drove away so I could take his spot. This parking lot has a payment machine. I paid $2 for two hours of parking. I had to type in my license plate number. The machine was not giving out receipts. I do wish that this parking lot contained more spaces, but I feel thankful that I was able to get a parking spot so I could eat lunch at a nearby restaurant.

This is the first time I've used this garage. Was on this side of the city and decided to use it…read more One thing I dislike about it is that it's all the same way. Some garages in the city have one way which is nice and less chances of wrecking into someone. Especially if you have a large truck like I do, the chances are increased on smashing into someone. However the off-peak rates after 5 PM was very nice at $4 compared to some places that charge $6 and much more on flat rates on Friday - Sunday. It was simple to pay on the bottom floor, getting around wasn't as easy when you're parked around a corner, you have to walk a distance to locate an elevator. However for $4 worth it.

All cards have been used recently at other businesses with no issues. Would not take cash. After 20 minutes, a lot of yelling and being accused of fraud we were allowed to leave.

I was charged $14 when I paid. Then found that the elevators were turned off.

They have no clue where they went, not sure if they left them in another car, but claim they are nowhere to be found. The owner was incredibly rude and disingenuous, and barely showed any sympathy, claiming "he wasn't the one who lost our keys." It's your company!!! Absolutely ruined our evening and going to be a ridiculously hard time having all of the keys on the key ring, including house keys, replaced. Had to take an uber home from dinner

They have done such a phenomenal job rehabbing that building. It sat there for so long and…read moredisrepair and I hoped they would do something. Now they have and it's a fun place to go shop, eat and drink. My favorite places in there are Novo Food Hall, Askin Brewery, Heibers, City Winery and Shake Shack. You can get something quick to eat if you lack time before an event at Shake Shack. They have great burgers. Novo is a great place to go and try out all different things from all different Asian foods from Japan, Korea and the Philippines. We've tried several different places and had lots of great dishes. If you need a drink and some good food to wash it down then Aslin is the place to go. They even have trivia nights which are lots of fun. I love going to concerts and City Winery is a fun spot to see a show because it's a small venue which has no bad seats. We have seen. Comedians and concerts there. If you pay in cash at the venue, you can avoid the fees. You can go there for a fun afternoon or a great evening with friends and family.

It is really fascinating how much this place has transformed from even just ten years ago. When I…read morefirst moved to Pittsburgh, there was basically not much there and now it is packed from end to end with a huge variety of businesses. There is a huge parking lot (paid) behind the entire building and there are metered spaces in the front. They often host events like outdoor fitness classes, farmers markets and car shows. It really is amazing that you could mini golf, get a facial, drink wine or beer, eat delicious food, shop for books or grab a coffee all within a small area. There are several cut through areas which make it more manageable to get to your desired location from the parking lot. The biggest downside to me is that I wish there were more local businesses. While there is nothing wrong with chains, the Strip is such an important part of Pittsburgh's history that I wish it contained more independent businesses and restaurants and less chains.

This parking garage is kind of a hidden gem in downtown. But it can also be kind of a nightmare as…read morewell. Not that much of a nightmare that warrants a deduction of stars, but a nightmare in terms of how fast this garage fills up. This was the first time that I utilized this garage. When I come downtown I usually go for convenience and park closer to where I need to be than where I find myself at. But after parking here I could see myself using it more often. However if you intend on attempting to use this early in the day, be advised that if you are not one of the first people, you will be out of luck. This garage fills up, and is cut off to only leases, after about 7:40 a.m. Also be careful of the curbs, I have seen people get flat tires because they get too close when pulling in. It is a fairly big garage, ample spaces to choose from. Spots available for electric car charging if you need that. Pay in the lobby or at the exit. Restrooms available if you need that. But the big selling point of this garage is the access to the T. There is a stop built right into the garage and you can get basically anywhere Downtown and North Shore for free from this stop. Park your car and go. Also has really easy access to the Parkway. It's kind of a great.

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.

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.
