Exciting news, Pittsburghers: the Living Well Initiative kicks off today at 6PM! Head to the Market Square UFC Gym for this free event and hear how DNA pledges to make downtown living healthier and happier. 

On July 9th, Mayor Ed Gainey, the Downtown Neighbors Alliance, and Huntington Bank welcomed our newest downtown resident, Katie Rotz, with a DNA welcome basket filled with an array of perks and gifts from Downtown restaurants and businesses.

Tucked right in the heart of Pittsburgh’s Cultural District, Proper Brick Oven & Tap Room is the kind of place that makes you want to cancel your afternoon plans just to stay a little longer. It’s got that cozy-but-cool vibe, complete with a real, wood-burning brick oven that anchors the entire space—and trust me, you can smell the goodness the moment you walk in.

We want to see your photos! Yes, the one’s just sitting in your phone’s photo gallery. Maybe it’s a beautiful golden hour photo of Downtown, a moody shot of morning traffic along Grant Street, or a quick pic of one of Pittsburgh’s iconic bridges. Whatever it is, if it truly captures the spirit of Downtown Pittsburgh or even the Strip District, it for sure deserves to be seen by the community who lives, works, and wanders here!
