Shadyside Visit

Our visit to Shadyside

Julie B, Sarah S, Audrey L

On Tuesday evening we visited the neighborhood of Shadyside. We explored Walnut Street and all of its unique boutiques, restaurants, and people. We ate at The Yard, a restaurant known for its gourmet grilled cheese. We also ate at Prantl's, a bakery, where we got some of the best iced decorative cookies shaped like leaves, flowers, and pumpkins. We walked along the street and entered a few stores including Francesca's, True Runner, and a few other shops along the way. When it was time to leave we noticed the view of the Cathedral, which can be seen at the end of the street. - Sarah S.

• Shadyside was developed in the mid 1800s, and got its name from the wooded roads of which the area consisted.  The neighborhoods surrounding the shopping district consist of a variety of homes, both apartment style for off-campus housing, and older Victorian homes. There are plenty of shops and restaurants, and are all within walking distance (once in the neighborhood of Shadyside) And a bonus, most shops and restaurants are dog-friendly, which is awesome!!(http://www.visitpittsburgh.com/about-pittsburgh/neighborhoods/shadyside/)

The Yard- home of gourmet grilled cheeses

While we were at The Yard, my coffee actually came after the grilled cheese orders -Audrey

We ate dinner around 4:15 and we were the only ones there. Whoops!

Prantl's Bakery has been around for the past 40 years.  It is a German styled bakery, and has over 100 baked goods. (http://www.prantlsbakery.com/about/) 

The BEST iced sugar cookies

We stopped at True Runner so Audrey could check out some running shoes, but they were really expensive.

We stopped to shop around. 

We didn't stop in, but we have heard many good things about Steel Cactus.
