Tons of gems live on the North Side of the city. Between Acrisure Field (it is still Heinz field to us) and PNC Park, you'll find a strip of bars and restaurants right along the river. You can also access the river walk from here and check out the statue of Mr. Rogers. Head a few streets off of the river and you'll hit some great spots that will gobble up some of your time. Here are the highlights:

City of Asylum   - Not just a bookstore - exiled writers are invited to stay here. Check the website as there are tons of events, concerts, screenings, and readings happening each week. Plus there's a great little restaurant here as well!

The Andy Warhol Museum  - Houses the largest collection of Warhol art and archives in the world.

Yinzer tip: Fridays are half price from 5-10. If you are traveling with kiddos, here are two fun stops for your Pittsburgh tour:

The Children's Museum 

Yinzer tip: Bring the swimsuits and towels for the kids to take advantage of the water exhibit!

The National Aviary -  If you plan ahead, you can schedule an experience with the penguins or a sloth.
