Market Square, Pittsburgh 5.82

The historic Market Square is located at the intersection of Market and Forbes Avenue. Pittsburghers young and old are familiar with Market Square Downtown. Whether once a regular shopper at G.C. Murphy’s five and dime store (now home to Downtown's PNC YMCA), a businessman who enjoys lunch at the Oyster House, or a child who has eagerly awaited the arrival of Santa on Light Up Night®, almost everyone has heard of the historic Square or visited it at least once, if not several times.

Head down to the Square before or after a show in Downtown's vibrant Cultural District and enjoy dinner and cocktails. Indulge in a little retail therapy, meet friends and co-workers for lunch meetings or to browse the summer Farmers Market, spend your happy hour at one of the many watering holes, or grab a coffee, relax and take advantage of the free Wifi. Or, come in the evening to see the tribute to Pittsburgh’s antislavery activities in the lighting feature in the ground and look up to see the North Star and dippers in the sky. So what are you waiting for—GET INTO THE SQUARE!
