Lawrenceville
Once home to the workers of the mills along the Allegheny River, Lawrenceville is now known as an artist community with galleries, coffee shops, and restaurants in its restored buildings. One of Pittsburgh’s largest neighborhoods, Lawrenceville is loved by its residents for its Art All Night art festival, Doo Dah Days festival celebrating the life of Stephen Foster (composer of “Oh, Susannah”), the Lawrenceville Home Hospitality Tour, and its Holiday Cookie Tour.
Home to UPMC’s new Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, the 16:62 Design Zone, and countless shops, artist galleries, and restaurants, Lawrenceville has been called a “go to destination” in Pittsburgh by the New York Times.
