Strip District
A riverside food market in a former warehouse district, with fish markets, Italian grocers, coffee roasters and street food.
The Strip District runs about 2 km along the Allegheny River. It was once a wholesale market and warehouse area, and today its main street, Penn Avenue, is lined with long-established shops: Wholey's fish market, Pennsylvania Macaroni Company Italian grocery, Primanti Brothers sandwiches with fries inside, and Prestogeorge Coffee. On weekends, you will also find sports merchandise stalls and street performers. Saturday mornings are the busiest and liveliest. The Heinz History Center is at the southern end of the district and can be visited along the way.
Opening hours
Shops approx. 08:00–17:00 (open earlier on weekends)
