Take a stroll down Shiloh Street and bring a touch of local charm to date night at love, Pittsburgh. Browse through our artist-made Pittsburgh-themed gifts, apparel, and more. Pick up a small keepsake to commemorate your special day.
3: Elevate your spirits at The Summit
Make a stop in the center of Shiloh Street at The Summit, an intimate bar offering handcrafted cocktails. Getting a front-row seat at the bar is our preferred way to spark a conversation while watching the handiwork of the craft bartenders.

For a hidden gem dining experience, make your way to the upstairs level of Gordo's Tacos & Tequilla and get a table with a view of their fireplace. The cozy atmosphere and mouthwatering dishes are an impeccable formula for fueling a deep connection.
