Soak it up, people. Highs of 88 degrees tomorrow. Is there anything better than a warm Saturday in Pittsburgh? There’s only one problem. With so many incredible, life-affirming activities within reach, how does one spend the perfect Pittsburgh Saturday?
A crew of local bloggers recently teamed up to answer that very question, and the results are inspiring. Their master plan starts with an 8 a.m. run along the scenic Southside Riverfront Trail and ends after midnight with darts and pool at Lawrenceville’s Take a Break Bar. There’s also lots of great food in between. Can you believe it? Of course you can.
