ravel was turned upside down in 2020. And while things may look a little different in 2021, visitors to the region can take comfort knowing that the Pittsburgh travel and hospitality communities have worked tirelessly to implement health and safety protocols that create an environment that helps residents and visitors safely and confidently enjoy this beautiful, welcoming destination.
T
Additionally, restaurants and bars have upped their health and safety standards, too, allowing foodies and craft beer and spirits enthusiasts to conveniently and safely enjoy Pittsburgh’s varied offerings. And, revamped health and safety protocols also have been implemented at Pittsburgh’s retail stores, entertainment venues and throughout the many local transportation companies, too.
Through collaboration with its tourism partners, VisitPITTSBURGH created the Pittsburgh Global Health (PGH) & Safety Commitment – a lifelong pledge from these communities to residents and visitors to exceed their highest expectations when it comes to their health and safety.
In fact, the David L. Lawrence Convention Center (DLCC), PPG Paints Arena and the Petersen Events Center, all ASM Global-managed properties, are operating under the VenueShield Environmental Hygiene Program. Created by ASM Global, the world’s largest venue management & services company, the VenueShield program offers best practices across work streams related to environmental hygiene, food service, customer journey, talent, public awareness and technology and equipment, including state-of-the-art standard operating procedures for environmental hygiene.
The PGH Commitment adheres to the health practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Pennsylvania and Allegheny County Health Departments and the City of Pittsburgh. The information presented is an aggregation of inplace protocols from tourism partners throughout the Pittsburgh region; it is a visitor resource and not legal recommendations for visiting Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh region is dedicated to delivering a gold standard in health and safety practices.
The Pittsburgh Global Health (PGH) & Safety Commitment is a lifelong pledge from the Pittsburgh tourism community to our visitors and residents that your health and safety will remain our top priorities.
The Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) has implemented the PIT Safe Travels program, which boosts health and safety measures already in place throughout the facility. The initiative also incorporates enhanced protocols that outline best practices for reducing the spread of germs. And, for those visitors seeking additional peace of mind, the airport is offering COVID-19 testing.
The DLCC goes a step further, too. The facility holds the highest rating for LEED® Platinum Certification in the United States and also provides more than 1.5 million feet of meeting and exhibit space, which, due to the column-free exhibit halls, allows an abundance of spacing for meeting planners’ preferences. And, with its sloping roofs, it can boast of a natural air ventilation system, allowing for natural outside air to be circulated throughout the large event halls. Whether visiting Pittsburgh for a business event, a sports event or leisure travel, rest assured that the community is aligned in prioritizing residents' and visitors’ health and wellbeing.
⊲ Jerad Bachar has close to 30 years of tourism and economic development experience in an array of countries and business environments. He has worked in both developed and emerging markets in the areas of destination branding and marketing, economic development and diversification, and workforce development.
PIT also leaned into the city’s rich tech reputation, relying on the help of self-driving robots to prioritize travelers’ health and safety. The airport partnered with Pittsburghbased Carnegie Robotics in 2020 to deploy autonomous floor scrubbers, which use UV technology designed to attack microbes in high-traffic areas; PIT was the first airport nationally to use ultraviolet cleaning. New health and safety standards have been implemented throughout Pittsburgh’s outstanding accommodations, including upgrades in sanitation processes, such as electrostatic sprayers with ultraviolet light and hospitalgrade disinfectants, and the prominent placement of hand sanitizers. Additionally, many hotels are now utilizing contactless check-in options. For those looking to enjoy Pittsburgh’s museums and attractions, please know that most have implemented timed ticketing and are operating at reduced capacity; visitors are encouraged to check the individual business’ websites for additional COVID-19 protocols.

P
ittsburgh is breathtaking!
No, really – the city is known to take a visitor's breath away, especially those who enter through the Fort Pitt Tunnel. The first sight of the buildings and the mighty three rivers – the Allegheny and Monongahela merging into the Ohio at Point State Park – is just spectacular. An entrance like no other, at that moment, it’s easy to see why WalletHub named Pittsburgh one of the top-20 cities to live in. Visitors can further see the city from different perspectives via the many different tour offerings. Experience Pittsburgh and several of the city's 90 unique neighborhoods and enjoy a fully guided 90-minute historical tour aboard Molly's Trolleys' vintage-style trolley. The Gateway Clipper Fleet allows visitors to see the city from the rivers, while the

Destination Monongahela and Duquesne Inclines shuttle riders to the top of Mount Washington, easily one of Pittsburgh’s most famous vantage points. If you prefer to move while you explore, Bike the Burgh and Walk the Burgh tours allow visitors to fully immerse themselves in the city’s neighborhoods. And, Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation offers tours of many of Pittsburgh’s historical buildings. No matter the tour, visitors are sure to notice Pittsburgh’s abundance of green space and parks; you can find a few of them within the golden triangle, including Mellon Square Park and Point State Park.
There is so much to see in Pittsburgh’s 90 neighborhoods – each is a gateway to culture and fun. There are novel museums, like the Mattress Factory and the Carnegie Museums of Natural History and Art, and only-in-Pittsburgh attractions like The Andy Warhol Museum, located in the North Shore neighborhood and dedicated to the Pittsburgh artist’s work. There also are independent galleries throughout the various neighborhoods, like BOOM Concepts in Garfield, a creative hub that is dedicated to the development of artists and creative entrepreneurs representing marginalized voices. Unique neighborhood finds also include the Allegheny Observatory, a working observatory nestled in beautiful Riverview Park, the highest point in Pittsburgh. While there, book time for a bike ride or walk around the park. Pittsburgh’s heart is its 14-square block Cultural District, where visitors can see a play or Broadway show and also walk through outdoor art displays all without leaving the city. Home to nine theatres, including the worldrenowned Benedum Center, Heinz Hall and the August Wilson African American Cultural Center, and surrounded by sculptures and art gardens, such as Katz Plaza and 7th and Penn Parklet, the Cultural District offers something for all arts and cultural lovers. Plus, the restaurant scene is a can’t-miss! Speaking of food, Jetsetter named Pittsburgh one of America’s top-10 food cities for 2019, and it’s easy to see why. The city’s food scene covers every taste from French food at Poulet Bleu in Lawrenceville to cheeseburgers

at Federal Galley, a food incubator on the North Shore that rotates restaurants, helping chefs test menus and raise funds for their brick and mortars. An astounding amount of breweries call Pittsburgh home, too, and the number continues to grow each day. Even national breweries have opened taprooms in Pittsburgh, including Southern Tier and Sly Fox. For lovers of spirits, Pittsburgh is home to Wigle Whiskey, Pittsburgh’s first distillery since Prohibition. Other distilleries and spirit makers include Maggie’s Farm Rum, Kingfly and Boyd & Blair Vodka. Hotels in Pittsburgh range from sleeping in history to the very modern. The Omni William Penn is the oldest hotel in Pittsburgh and has amenities like The Speakeasy, a Prohibition-era bar, and a historical relic hall. Many of Pittsburgh’s hotels lean into their history. Take the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh. The hotel’s exterior dates back to 1903, when the building served an electric company, but inside, the hotel is bursting with color and modern rooms. Local hotels also have amazing packages, including spas, tours and pup-friendly packages. In fact, Fairmont Pittsburgh includes two of these amenities, with an amazing spa and a pampered-pup package, which includes a locally made dog bandana. The best way to experience Pittsburgh is to spend time here! Book one of the outstanding hotels, rent a bike, schedule a tour or set out for a walk and explore all 90 neighborhoods for cultural, art and outdoor offerings, as well as history and fantastic food!

ittsburgh is an urban adventurer’s oasis. The City of Pittsburgh is home to 165 parks, ranging from regional parks to small neighborhood parklets, and Allegheny County houses nine parks which span more than 12,000 acres. So great are the region’s offerings that The Trust for Public Land ranked the city 15th in the nation when it comes
14
to the quality of urban green space and its closeness to residents, amenities, access acreage and investment. With an abundance of trails, waterways, historic landmarks and picture-worthy views, there are plenty of ways for visitors to immerse themselves in all the outdoor fun that Pittsburgh offers.
Become one with nature at the largest public park in Pittsburgh, Frick Park. With 644 acres of recreation, hiking and biking is easy through wooded slopes, and there are many public spaces to also enjoy. Upon entering the park, check out the Frick Environmental Center, a certified Living Building that houses the From Slavery to Freedom Garden, which showcases many of the plants that had nutritional and medicinal uses for African Americans searching for freedom in the 19th century. Frick Park also is home to Blue Slide Park, made famous by Pittsburgh’s own Mac Miller, who frequently referenced it on albums and featured it in the “Frick Park Market” music video.

Pittsburghers are known for a few unique fares when it comes to local flavors. Heard of a Pittsburgh salad? It’s a blend of lettuce, veggies and meat, usually steak or chicken, topped with a pile of shredded mozzarella cheese and French fries. Yes, French fries.
Pittsburghers love French fries. The proof is in the sandwich. A Primanti Bros. sandwich that is – grilled meat, topped with cheese, French fries, coleslaw and tomatoes between two slices of thick Italian bread. Add a fried egg and you’ll blend right in with the locals. Pierogies are another staple. From Pierogies Plus to Cop Out Pierogies, the Pittsburgh Pierogi Truck and more, there is no shortage of great places for these delicious handmade dumplings. You can't go wrong by starting your morning in Pittsburgh with pancakes at P&G's Pamela's Diner. And, when you're looking for something sweet, be sure to try the Burnt Almond Torte from Prantl’s Bakery – the treat that HuffPost called “the greatest cake America has ever made.” Yep. It’s that good!

Spirits

Not only does a trip to Pittsburgh provide an opportunity for a social drink with friends and family, but the preferred spirits you may be enjoying could have been distilled just a few blocks or steps away.
Did you know? Pittsburgh is the birthplace of American whiskey. And, Wigle Whiskey Distillery and Restaurant, named for Phillip Wigle, one of the Western Pennsylvania distillers who helped spark the Whiskey Rebellion, has its main location in Pittsburgh’s Strip District with additional tasting sites throughout the region. Also located in the Strip District, Kingfly Spirits is a distillery, event space and bar that promises a transformative experience through a combination of traditional recipes with innovation and discovery. Rum drinkers also will find satisfaction in the Strip District, as it’s also home to Allegheny Distilling, which makes Maggie’s Farm Rum, the first commercially-available, Pennsylvania-made craft rum since Prohibition. Just up the road from the Strip District is Lawrenceville Distilling Co., which distills small batch spirits like Ginzer American Gin and Parking Chair Vodka. The distillery was named the 2019 Pennsylvania’s Gin Distillery of the Year by the 10th Annual New York International Craft Spirits Competition.

hen you think about Pittsburgh, you might think about sports, the region’s excellent hospitals and emerging technology sector or possibly the booming craft beer scene. But art? It might not be on your radar. But it should be.
There’s more to Pittsburgh’s art scene than just museums and galleries – although, the city has plenty of those. In fact, many makers call Pittsburgh home. These are the people creating everything from candles to jewelry, clothing to home decor; the workshops where you can learn a new skill and take something home; the experiences you can have wandering the city looking at street art. Each of Pittsburgh’s 90 neighborhoods has a different vibe, which reflects in the local art and shops you’ll find. Maybe it’s because Pittsburgh is a smaller city, but Pittsburghers tend to be very friendly. They’re also incredibly proud of their city, so if you aren’t sure where to find the art or types of shops you’re looking for – just ask a local. They are guaranteed to have some amazing recommendations, including hidden gems that might be off the beaten path.

Joanna Saykiewicz
Buffalo Rose
Listening to Buffalo Rose is like driving on the open road with the windows down, letting the breezes of various musical styles wash over you. Buffalo Rose commandeers the shimmering and electrifying riffs of the mandolin, the cascading guitar arpeggios of folk and bluegrass, the ringing purity of the dobro and the steady percussive thrum of upright bass.

ROBERTO CLEMENTE
Jeremy Raymer • North Side Created by local street artist Jeremy Raymer, the Roberto Clemente mural is located on a heavily visible Pittsburgh wall alongside Verdetto’s Bar & Restaurant in the East Allegheny neighborhood.

The John Lewis Mural is part of “Pittsburgh Solidarity for Change,” the 10-mural project designed by Kyle Holbrook and facilitated by the artist’s MLK Mural organization. Each of the project’s murals has themes of solutions to police brutality, systemic racism and gun violence; Lewis and his life’s work for Civil Rights were chosen as a solution. More than 123 residents helped paint this mural, including Steelers safety Terrell Edmunds and longtime activist Tim Stevens, Pittsburgh’s own “John Lewis.”

THE STRIP MURAL
FABRIC OF THE COMMUNITY
Strip District The Strip Mural by artists Carley Parrish and Shannon Pultz captures the energy and history of Pittsburgh’s authentic and classic Strip District neighborhood. The collage-style mural pays homage to artist Romare Bearden, who lived on Penn Ave. with his grandparents in the late 1920s.
Artist Jackie Kresak’s inspiration for Fabric of the Community was a quilt created by her mother. Located in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood and visible from UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, the mural aims to showcase how uniting different patterns in a quilt is similar to uniting the different people in a community.

Grandma, Grandpa ⊲ By Barb Hollie
S
chedules were turned upside down in 2020. Let’s face it – moms and dads are busier than ever! They are working to cover the rent or mortgage, put food on the table and buy clothes and shoes. Coupled with changes in schooling, too, and parents are stretched thin. Thankfully, parents have a secret weapon in their toolbox – someone who has extra time on their hands, who loves spending time with their families and is always up for an adventure. No, this isn’t a superhero…it’s Grandma and Grandpa!
48
& Me!
Think about it. Grandparents or grandparent-figures are fun-loving hug-sharers. They are teachers, mentors and child-care providers who love to focus their time and energy on a grandchild. That said, what’s better than shared activities where both generations can learn and grow together.
Heinz History Center | Rachel Lynn Schoen
Though some say the best part about being a grandparent is returning the grandkids back to their parents at the end of the day, this argument glosses over the ULTIMATE reward of being a grandparent… spending TIME and making MEMORIES with the next generation! From endless smiles and laughs that last weeks, few things match seeing something new through the eyes of a child.
Carnegie Science Center
Thankfully, Pittsburgh offers plenty of memory-making opportunities because Pittsburgh is KidsBURGH®! The city is a playground for grandparents and grandkids – fun, affordable and packed with family entertainment. From museums to wildlife, river cruises to nature offerings and even historic amusement parks, Pittsburgh has everything to stimulate the imagination of both generations.
Pittsburgh is KidsBurgh®!
With so many family-friendly attractions and entertainment options for kids of all ages, like the Senator John Heinz History Center, Pittsburgh really is KidsBURGH®! Carnegie Museum of Natural History
There are limitless options for awesome adventure time – together – throughout Pittsburgh. When planning your next escapade with your “mini-me,” consider these itinerary builders: ⊲ The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh has a Nursery area with activities designed specifically for infants and toddlers where they can play in sand, make a train and ride a see-saw. For your older child, MuseumLab® offers them ways to engage their ever-expanding curiosity with the studio, make and tech labs. ⊲ Sail Pittsburgh’s famous three rivers – the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio – aboard the Gateway Clipper Fleet. Make sure you check out one of the themed children’s cruises like the Trolls and Pup Patrol Cruise or the Princess & Superhero Party. ⊲ What kid isn’t fascinated by wildlife?
