Upper Lawrenceville - Pittsburgh, PA Area Guide
Niche Reviews 
Upper Lawrenceville borders the Allegheny River approximately seven miles east of downtown Pittsburgh. The neighborhood centers around Butler Street, a lively commercial district with an active arts scene. Rowhouses line the quiet streets and alleyways in the residential section of this district. The central location of Upper Lawrenceville's businesses means you don't have to travel far from your apartment to enjoy all that your community offers. Order a maple latte from Caffe d'Amore Coffee shop to take with you as you browse the bookshelves of Nine Stories or shop for home goods at Von Walter and Funk. Take a break on the patio of Pusadee's Garden Thai to enjoy pumpkin curry made with ingredients straight from the garden. In the evening, indulge in a charcuterie plate at Cure before watching a local theater performance at Phase 3 Productions.

this neighborhood is great! A lot of things to do, very strong sense of community, but rapidly becoming a trap of yuppies and their families.
