Last weekend my fiancé and I took a road trip to commemorate the start of summer. We opted to check out the other side of our state and visit Pittsburgh. For city center accommodations in the heart of it all, I recommend Fairmont Pittsburgh.
To start our Pittsburgh experience, we had lunch at Primanti Brothers, famous for topping sandwiches with coleslaw and French fries. Afterward, we grabbed pastries from another Pittsburgh staple, Prantl’s Bakery.
That afternoon, we strolled the Andy Warhol Museum before watching the Pirates take on the San Diego Padres at PNC Park. The night capped off with a spectacular fireworks display.
We didn’t forget relaxation! We started Saturday with massages at Fairmont Pittsburgh’s spa before a late breakfast and a 1 p.m. boat tour of Pittsburgh’s three rivers with Gateway Clippers.
Post-boat tour, we made our way to the Heinz History Center to learn a bit more about the city. After dinner at fl.2, we strolled Market Square’s night market.
Naturally, before heading out on Sunday, we had to sample the brunch menu at fl.2. Sadly, the weekend was over too quickly, but we both agreed we’d like to return to Pittsburgh again!

Sep 28, 2022Ulysses, a New Hotel by Ash, Opens in Baltimore
Hotelier Ash welcomes its fourth hotel, Ulysses, to its collection. Situated in Mount Vernon, Baltimore, the 116-room hotel features an all-day café and late-night drinking parlor. The new hotel lies within the historic, nine-story Latrobe Building, a former 1912 apartment building with an early Italian Renaissance design. The hotel earns its name, Ulysses, from a ship that brought Bavarian immigrants to Baltimore at the turn of the century. The name also pays homage to James Joyce’s legendary and revolutionary novel and to the Greek hero, Odysseus.
