I saw some of your photos of abandoned places - I have a friend who travels 'round and does similar, I can DM you his Instagram if you'd like to check it out! I'd also love to go thrifting sometime - my boyfriend hates shopping and I hate being alone so it would be awesome to find someone who enjoys it

Welcome to Pittsburgh. When it warms up a little I go walking the Montour trail often, you can tag along if you want.

Hello Buffalo native. Have you ever been to Griffis Sculpture Park near Springville? Also, take a break bar in Lawrenceville is a good dive to meet people. It’s a smoking bar though.

I’d recommend checking out Prototype PGH! We host a zine workshop, a crafting group, songwriting meetup, code & coffee, and a bunch of workshops on laser cutting, 3d printing, screen-printing, and more. I host the songwriting and coding meetups :)

Carnegie museum is a must if you are into art, and right across the street is Phipps conservatory, both have volunteer type opportunities, probably good situation for meeting people with similar interests

I think most understand what it is and think it’s dumb. No…your partner doesn’t want pics of you overly trying to look like a playboy magazine model. If we want porn, there’s plenty of better stuff out there.

We have lots of great third spaces where folks get together! I teach adult maker classes and always suggest adults take a class to meet people! My faves are Workshop PGH and Prototype for all kinds of creative skills. Eastern Standard Photo also does film photography workshops.

First Fridays in Garfield are really fun and there are lots of art galleries on Penn Ave that are great to check out. Especially once the weather gets warm, Penn gets bumping!

There is nothing here that even comes close to Ted's Hot Dogs, but once in a while you can find Sahlen's at Kuhn's Markets.

I highly recommend Bumble BFF to make friends! Anywhere I travel, I am able to meet up with people for drinks, dinners, and events! It’s been a blast and have made some lifetime friends out of it!

A friend of mine is having his exhibition/show thing start this Saturday at Kindness, Solidarity Design/Radio Room in Homestead and then having a little thing afterward at a local bar. He’s a super cool and nice guy and I’m sure would appreciate anyone who could come thru: http://www.garyhenzler.com/gallery.html

Welcome to Pittsburgh!

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned yet but is definitely worth a few hours of your time is Bicycle Heaven. It’s a Bike museum on the North Side and it has so many weird, wonderful and valuable bikes in its collection (including a certain MacGuffin that was once thought to reside in the basement of the Alamo).
