THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGHDowntown Neighbors Alliance had the first Downtown Eats! Dining Club dinner in 2024 last Tuesday. We welcomed a sold-out crowd at Papa J's for a three-course dinner and a fashion show curated by Eva Dixon.
The Cultural Trust and Downtown Neighbors Alliance ask that you join us for an evening of discussion, a question-and-answer session, making new friends with residents and business owners, and of course, food and libations.
Downtown Pittsburgh may be seeing a new hotel open on 10th Street that will accompany the David L. Convention Center. Rafael Vinoly, the designer of the convention center, anticipated a hotel of 500 rooms to be connected to it. After twenty years of the venue space opening, Vinoly’s vision may finally come true.
Gregg Broujos, The Buncher Company
As a founding member of the Downtown Neighbors Alliance Board of Directors, I have seen first hand the contributions the DNA has made for downtown Pittsburgh. From the off-leash dog run park, the opening of a grocery store, the recruiting of new retail businesses and advocating for the residential community to name just a few projects, the DNA has made a transformational difference in the resurgence of the Golden Triangle. The extremely positive feedback that I receive from business leaders and residents alike is a testament to John Valentine’s and his Board’s vision and hard work.
Sarah Collins, Downtown Resident
As a resident of downtown Pittsburgh I am a member and a huge supporter of Downtown Neighbors Alliance. Their advocacy and the amenities that they have brought downtown has strengthened my belief that buying here was a great decision. I wouldn't live anywhere else. Thank you DNA!
Josh Gokalp, Owner of Istanbul Grille
Downtown Neighbors Alliance and John Valentine convinced me that downtown Pittsburgh was the best location for Istanbul Grille. We opened up in the Steel Tower building and after a very successful first two years the DNA partnered with me to find a second location. We are now also in the Oxford Center building.
I thank the DNA not only for their diligence for Istanbul Grille, but for all the work they do for the betterment of retail in downtown Pittsburgh.
