Neighborhood

The Strip District is a narrow strip of land just outside of downtown Pittsburgh on the banks of the Allegheny River. As one of the trendiest and most popular shopping neighborhoods in the city, residents and visitors alike find its authenticity to be what Pittsburgh is all about. An oasis for food lovers, the Strip District offers low prices and an astounding variety of produce stands, international grocers, meat and fish markets, and independent vendors. All of this is alongside boutique shops, retailers, and some of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh with a broad range of international cuisines.

Primanti Bros. is a staple to the Strip District and has been since 1933. It’s turned into a popular chain known for its unique sandwiches and laid back atmosphere, so visit their original location where it all started at the Strip District. Try some Argentinian delicacies at Gaucho with wood-fire grilled meats galore.
