A Local's Guide to Spending the Perfect Fall Day Downtown
Whether you're catching up on campus during family weekend, visiting from out of town, or exploring the city as a local, there are always new activities to experience and seasonal flavors to enjoy at The Porch.
Family weekend offers a wonderful time for college students to share their new campus and city with their family. Just steps away from the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon, and Carlow campuses, families can enjoy an autumn-inspired lunch at The Porch before exploring the fall flower show at Phipps Conservatory. While awaiting all the pumpkins, gourds, and golden orange flowers of Phipps, try a seasonal lunch favorite like our Harvest Salad or Butternut Squash Pizza. Not only will these flavors capture the feeling of autumn, but they will also provide the perfect way to prepare for your family's visit to Phipps.
If you're visiting from out of town or enjoying a local stay-cation, downtown Pittsburgh has a vast array of site seeing opportunities, cultural experiences, sporting events, and local flavors to experience. Looking to avoid the downtown crowds before catching a show in the Cultural District? Enjoy a leisurely meal at The Porch in Oakland, complete with seasonal sharables, craft cocktail pitchers for the group, and scratch made dishes for a delicious start to your evening.
For sports fans attending a football, hockey, or soccer game this weekend, venture over to Oakland for a meal at The Porch. Our Reuben Sandwich offers the perfect lunch before an evening game, or you can stop by later for our Porch Wings and your favorite beer or cocktail.
Visit us this weekend and discover how The Porch pairs with your perfect autumn day.
