Featured Neighborhood Friendship & Penn Ave Arts District
Once the end of the Baum Boulevard streetcar line, Friendship in the 1890s became an enclave of industrial managers who squeezed their large, stately Victorians in close; recently, the upper-middle class has returned to Friendship, with lawyers and architects painstakingly restoring original woodwork -- and having babies -- amid apartment-dwelling students and singles. Along Penn Avenue, Friendship meets its neighbors, the African-American hilltop neighborhood of Garfield and working-class Bloomfield, dubbed “Pittsburgh’s Little Italy.” Particularly during “gallery crawl” nights, an artistic flowering in the Avenue’s old buildings draws visitors from around the city to innovative galleries, the Pittsburgh Glass Center, small dance companies, ad hoc rock venues, restaurants and the charmingly scruffy Quiet Storm coffeeshop, where you can drink very strong coffee with your vegan scrambles.
