We did the Strip District Food Tour with Burgh Bits & Bites today…read more ... and I'm already looking forward to signing up for their Lawrenceville tour. The original food tour company in Pittsburgh - they take you on tours with local experts and great connections to the city culture. We were blessed with our tour guide, Karen - who was a culinary instructor and an architecture buff - so our tour of the Strip District was loaded with quips and tips. Rather than just trying the food on a new era self guided tour, you are given the history of the century old establishments, the clever stories that made them what they are, and a personal interaction curated with the owners at a dedicated time. We visited 11 places and ate at 8. Karen said that she'd consider it a win if we ended on time and we ended full. The tour took exactly two hours as advertised and we didn't even need dinner later that night! I grew up in Pittsburgh but I will now cherish so much more of the Strip District - this tour opened my eyes to what so many more places have to offer! Oh....and you get swag!!! Tote bags to carry your goodies!!

I believe they announced there were 53 sites handing out cookies. We didn't make it to nearly half of the venues but it did allow us a visit to Lawrenceville for shopping nonetheless, cookies or not, so fulfilled the intention of the event and we left some money in the town shopping for furniture, shoes, chocolate, pastry, signed book, artwork, earrings, at the very least and having both breakfast and lunch. Oh, and the cookies provided came with the corresponding recipe. Not too shabby, I'd say!

This time the amount of food we got was more reasonable (still plenty to replace a meal and no one left hungry, but not the outrageous portions from last time).

They also offer tours in Wooster, which I'd like to try next time.

Yes, I would travel to the ends of the earth with Amazing Journeys. So far the two trips taken with…read moreAmazing Journeys were chock full of eye opening adventures with rocking itineraries. Long after the adventures I am left with memories that inspire me and friends that I treasure. Amazing Journeys makes traveling easy. They think of every detail and provide explicit pre-trip instructions. The team is always open to questions and it is obvious this is more than a business to them, they really make you feel like family. During the trip they are with you to assist with anything you need, are friendly and the good energy they add to the trip is immeasurable. It's scary to travel alone. But, when I make a reservation for an Amazing Journeys trip I am confident. I know their trips attract high caliber individuals and the AJ team does everything in their power to make the travels easy and enjoyable. I'm so glad that AJ is around and I was lucky enough to hear about them.

Self-entitled cliques with excluding mean spirited behavior that is totally condoned by tour manager because they're "frequently flyers" cash cows. The disingenuousness was reprehensible! Totally greed driven with no care for the quality of my experience. Thank God I had the inner strength to rise above all the despicable behavior, including being physically attacked, and still get some enjoyment out of it. Comparing notes with others I know for a fact that I'm not only one who was bullied & mistreated. Too bad I found out after my trip. When I look at my pics it feels very bittersweet.

We began near the parking lot, looking at the tree taps, and where the sap pours into where it is first boiled down. Then we walked up the hill to see the entire process as it takes place step-by-step. This family owned operation was so warm and welcoming to us. We sampled many different flavors from light to dark and with additives of coffee, cinnamon, or vanilla. They also taught us about the nutritional benefits of what you can get out of maple syrup, comparative to other vitamins and antioxidants. I would definitely recommend picking up this product when you see them at local farmers markets!!

Rooms were of ample size for a historic city property

I had a wonderful stay here and would happily stay here again!…read moreStepping into this historic 110 year old hotel feels like a time capsule of opulence. I was immediately blown away with the foyer! At check in, there is fruit infused water to quench your thirst. Make sure you keep your room key in hand because you will need it to operate the elevator (once in, hold it against the black box until light turns green and quickly select your floor). The hallways were incredible! And still had their old charm! I even picked up the old fashioned telephone and it rings the front desk! You can use it shall you need something ... if for some reason you cannot enter your room, just pick up the black phone in the hallway and they will come to you (this didn't happen to me, but just a tip if it does). I stayed in room 1470 and absolutely love my view of the gothic architecture of the Union Trust. I looked out my window a million times! The size of my room was huge! I could have done cartwheels all over the place! The WiFi is complimentary for guests. There's cable TV. Maybe other options too but I didn't have my tv on much to know. The water pressure deserves its own special shout out! Holy moly it was heaven! And the brand of washes they had was nice! Usually the conditioner isn't good enough in hotels for my hair but this was just fine! And there's a good blow dryer on the back of the door (I still used my own because I have a lot of hair and it's long BUT had I forgotten it, their hair dryer would have been just fine at 1875 watts. There's a tag on your door that you can hang if you'd like to skip housekeeping for a day and the hotel will donate a meal for doing so .. check out the tag for more info! There's also cards you can put on your bed if you want your bedding changed. I was never bothered in my room by housekeeping. I was never bothered by noise. I never experienced a phony phantom call to my room. (All things I've experienced at other places). You will get a free drink at checkout you can get a beer at the tap room or a coffee at Mellon Square (on site). It is not good for the speakeasy ... and yes, it's a real speakeasy that existed in the 1920s you could access thru tunnels under the city! So cool! On checkout day, the event I attended was going to start early and finish after checkout time. Since I was up late the night before, the front desk said I was welcome to bring my bags down now for bellhop to hold, but they also put me for a late checkout at 1pm so I could come down late the next day too. So partway thru the event just before 1pm I brought down my bags and they held them for the next 90 mins I was there. I parked across the street at the Mellon square parking garage ... Apple GPS marks the garage in the wrong place FYI ... it marks it about a block away but it is directly across the street from the hotel, with the entrance to it being on the cross street. I paid $44 to park there from Thursday around 5pm to Sunday around 3pm. Not bad. They do have valet parking at the hotel too but that is $55 per day I believe. Leaving was sad. I would have liked more time to enjoy this place. I would love to come back sometime! I have nothing bad to say about this place. Wonderful staff and incredible hotel! Thank you for this amazing stay!
