Pittsburgh’s Best Patios for Outdoor Dining
Pittsburgh isn’t exactly known for its sunny, blue-sky days, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy outdoor dining! The city is full of restaurant patios, and today, we’re giving out superlatives for the best ones. City Cast’s Megan Harris is with Discover the Burgh’s Jeremy Jones to decide which patios are the fanciest, most unusual, dog friendly, and of course, which actually have the tastiest food and drinks.
Plus, if we’ve convinced you to visit Harmony Inn’s patio, check out our guide to Harmony to plan a few more things to see and do.
