Pittsburgh: Grand Concourse (September 2000)

The Grand Concourse is a Pittsburgh treasure. Occupying the former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Station, Grand Concourse represents an unmatched dining experience and a historical excursion. Constructed in 1901 and still possessing the original look, the station’s accents of brass, marble and mahogany create Pittsburgh’s most unique dining experience. Guests savor spectacular steak, seafood and the city’s best brunch, as chosen by Pittsburgh Magazine, all under the splendor of a majestic stained glass cathedral roof. As many people go in just to walk around and see the beautiful ceiling and grand staircase in the old train station as to eat. It's a special occasion kind of place, popular with people entertaining out-of-town guests. The Sunday brunch is so popular McMaster quit advertising it (we love the doughnut maker in the bar!).
