When it comes to art, music, and culture, Pittsburgh is
not new to this. The International is one of the oldest
recurring exhibitions in the world— second only to the
Venice Biennial and only by a few months. That’s a century
old receipt. Now, alternative spaces, creative incubators,
and artist-run galleries have emerged every decade since
and hold their weight against the major institutions and
universities built by the industrialist magnates of yesteryear
(think the Carnegies, Mellons and Fricks). Plus, there’s no
shortage of talent born in this town— August Wilson, Andy
Warhol, Romare Bearden, Wiz Khalifa, and the late Mac
Miller to name a few. The City of Champions, indeed. They
say you can’t see everything, so here’s what we recommend.

Choosing a spot for a coffee or a cocktail with colleagues
or a quick bite while exhibition hopping can be tough with
all the options PGH is putting up. Rivaling the infamous
sports bars, a gang of innovative restaurants have sprung up
throughout the city’s 90 neighborhoods in the last decade.
Trade in all-you-can-eat buffalo wings during your next
lunch meeting in Lawrenceville or wax poetic over craft
beers in East Liberty. On the mornings you need a pick me
up from last night’s party, throw back a shot of espresso at
one of the Italian bakeries in neighboring Bloomfield. Just
in search of some comfort food? Don’t trip. Local stalwarts
still serve their mouthwatering perogies and cheesesteaks
to die-hard fans every day of the week. Trust, you can’t go
wrong with these spots and the foodie in you will agree.

What’s a biennial without a few really good parties? Sure,
there will be TONS of art to see, but if The International marks
your first trip to the Steel City, you’ll want to save energy for
the night time fetes—where the real deals go down. You know
what they say: all work and no play simply makes you a bore.
Throughout the duration of The International, the Carnegie
Museum of Art is open late every Thursday for your viewing
pleasure and that’s not all the city has to offer after sunset.
Dance the night away in the Strip District, discover your new
favorite band as the city’s popular night market winds down
for the season, and most importantly, make sure you have
fun with DJ King Marie. Of course, we can’t all be night owls,
so we’ve shared a plethora of bars, restaurants, lectures and
performances if you are looking to change up the pace. You
won’t be disappointed with our suggestions!

If you think you know all there is to Pittsburgh, think again.
Even with its share of world renowned cultural institutions,
the city is equally as full of small gems and less referenced
wonders that are worth your time. Feel like exploring the
paths less traveled? Take a break from the big crowds and
spend time among the flora and fauna for a relaxing autumn
adventure. Or better yet, grab a friend and climb to the city’s
highest peaks and let the views take your breath away. And
even with The International as the main attraction, you’ll
still want to find time to visit the smaller art spaces that
have become community staples in the city—learn how to
letterpress a broadside or arrange to privately view the work
of Pittsburgh’s most dynamic artists. A little adventure never
hurt anyone! Here’s a taste of what we recommend:
