weekend with daughter

My teenage daughter and I will traveling to Pittsburgh this weekend. We have been there before but it has been a few years. We would like to do some downtown shopping, go to the strip district on Saturday, and possibly see a show. I have looked online for something downtown in the theatre district but don%26#39;t see anything this weekend. Any suggestions for nearby areas. Also, any nearby shopping that may be of more interest to a teen than the department stores downtown. I am looking at the Westin, Omni, or Courtyard. They seem to be centrally located. Any advise on what may be a better choice? Thanks!

All of those are nice, but if it%26#39;s shopping you want, try the Sheraton at Station Square - it%26#39;s a huge shopping mall with loads of choices for lunch and dinner. Also, people watching in the South Side is close, and there are some funky cool boutiques among the bars.

As for shows, it isn%26#39;t really theatre season so you may want to try to catch a show at a smaller venue.

Have fun this weekend!

She will probably enjoy the South Side Works, as well as the Walnut Street shopping area in Shadyside. With either one, you can move from shopping right into lunch or dinner at a restaurant. If you haven%26#39;t done so already, I recommend a ride on the incline and a Just Ducky Tour; they are a lot of fun. If you have time I would also very much recommend a visit to the Dale Chihluly exhibit at Phipps Conservatory. It doesn%26#39;t look like there is much going on theater-wise this weekend; try ';Always Patsy Cline'; at Theater Square. Welcome, hope you have a great time!

The previous replies are right on. The Sheraton in Station Square is a good call. There is a new Hampton Inn right on the cusp of the Strip District, too. Another fun option is is the Holiday Inn Express on the South Side. They have a pool and you can basically park your car and walk all weekend. Carson Street (South Side) has many, many restaurants of all shapes and sizes and my 16-yr old loves shopping at the South Side Works. You can walk there from the hotel (long walk) and Carson Street has a cool, bohemian feel. The glass exhibit at Phipps might sound boring, but it%26#39;s amazing. Have fun!
