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.

Pittsburgh does not have as many upscale malls as do larger cities, and I think that Ross Park Mall…read moreis the fanciest mall that we have. This indoor mall has two floors and over 150 stores. The anchor stores are Nordstrom, Macy's, JCPenney, and Dick's Sporting Goods. Luxury/designer stores include Burberry, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Co., Kate Spade, and Tory Burch. The mall also has many lower-priced clothing stores, including American Eagle, Banana Republic, Buckle, Chico's, Express, GAP, H&M, Hollister, J.Crew, J.Jill, Levi's, LOFT, Madewell, PacSun, Victoria's Secret, White House Black Market, and Zumiez. Unfortunately, a few of my favorite clothing stores have closed since my previous review. Several other stores sell shoes and accessories, such as Coach, Foot Locker, Kay Jewelers, Lens Crafters, Pandora, Sunglass Hut, Swarovski, Tumi, VisionWorks, and Warby Parker. The mall also has electronics stores such as Apple and phone stores. Stores for home goods include Crate and Barrel, RH (formerly Restoration Hardware), Tempur-Pedic, and Williams-Sonoma. Current restaurants are Auntie Anne's, Cheesecake Factory, Plaza Azteca, Nordstrom Ruscello, several casual restaurants in the food court, etcetera. Unlike many other indoor malls, Ross Park Mall is not dead. Most store fronts are occupied, and only a few store fronts are empty and awaiting future retailers.

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.

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.

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.

You can stand and have your picture taken in front of it or just check it out. They also have a bandshell set up for entertainment. Possibly that was set up for light up night but may be incorporated during the holiday season. Nearby is a souvenir shop selling all types of Heinz merchandise including replicas of the pickle. I recognized some of the merchandise coming from places I had visited before such as Commonwealth Press. EQT plaza is basically a small park area with some statues near the Benedum Center. My last visit here was during the Three Rivers Arts Festival where part of the artist's market was set up in this square. It's a nice place to have lunch on a warm summer day and get out and enjoy the fresh air. Main entry is on Liberty Ave. Check it out if you are in the area.

One of them is this awkwardly standing bloke in a business suit who is hanging out just by the front of the building, as if he can't make up his mind to go into the building or escape away? The second sculpture is of the two gals hanging out with their violins by the bike rack. Frankly bizarre to me both the placement and the topic. Other than this, this plaza has many of different kinds of seating options so easy to sit and chill out! Note: #340 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

I most frequently visit this mall for the Target and the Kuhn's, which sell a good selection of products for hygiene, cleaning, home, groceries, etcetera at reasonable prices. I have always been able to find a good parking spot in the parking lot. The mall is safe and clean. The mall is located along the busy McKnight Road for easy access.

It was enclosed a number of years ago and did okay as a mall until the mid-1980s. When Ross Park Mall opened up, it sucked all the business away from North Hills Village and Northway. Northway became a second-tier mall and North Hills Village became a big box center. North Hills Village now has Best Buy, Target, Staples, etc. From a dollars and cents point of view, it was probably a wise decision to go big box. But North Hills Village is just like any other big box center found from Seattle to Miami.

For many years, I have occasionally shopped here when I happen to be in or passing through the area. Another reviewer previously said that you should not go out of your way to come here, and I agree. The selection of stores is convenient for people who live nearby but offers only some merchandise that I need or want. The parking lot has always had a sufficient number of spaces for me to find a spot.
