Remember, you can always find more events on the Post-Gazette’s Event Calendar as well as the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership’s Calendar.

These are just a few of our favorites!

1. Ice Skating at the Rink at PPG. The Rink at PPG opened last week during Light Up Night and it is a must for both those living in the city and those just coming to visit.  The Rink is open every day (hours vary) and it’s a great activity if you’re bringing the whole family, a few friends or, of course, a date!  Skate here once and I know you’ll be making it a weekly, or maybe even daily, habit!If you need to warm up after, stop by the Carlton for a warm cup of soup!
