I’ll look in to that hotel. As far as cuisine, we’re easy to pleasey. Big fan of Mexican food but nothing is out of the realm of possibilities. We might just want a really good burger or good pub food on Saturday night.

Hmm, I wish I knew some good Mexican places, but can’t name any that I’ve particularly loved. I’ll list my faves: noodle head for Thai ($12.50 noodles and BYOB), cafe moulin for brunch/crepes, selamis kebab house or pasha for Mediterranean. I haven’t been to point Brugge but I’ve heard great things about their burgers

Just looked at TRYP hotel. It seems nice and pretty reasonably priced. Is there a garage or anything for parking? If so, do you know how much it is?

Thanks for those food recommendations! I’ll definitely look in to those. Noodle head sounds like a good time!!

It was really clean and pretty cute interior-wise too. Rooftop was closed for the season though. From what I saw, there was only valet parking, but there’s a ton of street parking in the area if you look around enough, which is what we did. And yes, noodlehead is always a great time! Try their street noodle #1: the fried chicken pieces are unreal

Came here to suggest Tryp. Puts you right in the middle of Lawrenceville which is super walkable and has TONS of options for food, coffee, bakeries and by the sounds of it your main interest breweries. In Lville you've got five or six breweries (11th Hour, Hop Farm, Cinderlands, Lolev, Coven and even Trace up in Bloomfield is close) and directly across the bridge in Millvale you've got two. Plenty of bars in Lville too. I like Stinkys for an "off the main street" option. Great burgers, decent beer menu and a touch more quiet than Butler Street options. If you're into vinyl, best record store in Pgh is in Millvale (the Attic). I'd make Lawrenceville your "base." Plenty to do there and easy access to other things.

Loved Tryp. Stayed there last month. Was perfect location. A nice 30 min walk to the strip. Hour walk to downtown. Very clean hotel.
