My spouse and I spent a very cold two-night weekend in
Pittsburgh in early November 2018. We visited to watch the University of
Pittsburgh-Virginia Tech football game, but we were also able to squeeze in a
visit to the University’s fantastic Cathedral of Learning. We hadn’t visited
the Cathedral for several years, and on this visit, we were able to tour the facilities
many Nationality Rooms, which were already decorated for the Christmas
holidays. We met some friends for lunch at The Foundry before the game, and had
dinner later that evening at Or, The Whale (which is the restaurant for our
hotel, The Distrikt) because it was just too cold to go back outside! (We also
ate a nice breakfast at our hotel on Saturday morning; however, the restaurant
doesn’t plan to continue that meal moving forward. [We woke up too late to make
breakfast on Sunday.]) We tried a new restaurant called Talia Rosticceria, and we
re-visited an old favorite called Union Standard. Fortunately it didn’t snow
during the weekend, but it was windy and we needed to bundle up (with many
layers, thermals, hand- and foot-warmers, etc.). We are looking forward to
warmer weather next year!
