A number of Speciallity shops, some quaint shops, very clean streets, alot of excellent restaurants ($-$$$). Not far from Frick Park, which is another "must go to!"

Squirrel Hill is a quirky little urban village - good places to eat and neat little shops. It's gone downhill a little in the last few years as rents rise and we lose our best tenants. You can still find some independent coffee houses (61 cent cafe) and restaurants (Pamela's). Prices vary. Good luck finding parking and make sure you... More

I certainly recommend a drive through Squirrel Hill, if you get the chance, because there are some really beautiful residential areas and elegant houses to look at. As far as shops go, there isn't much to brag about, but there are a few nice restaurants and a lovely cinema which shows slightly more off-beat films.

Great restaurants and shopping. Primarily a Jewish community, but a very diverse crowd. Neat and fun! Beautiful old homes surround a great commercial district.

Squirrel Hill is a great neighborhood. I'd recommend parking somewhere near the intersection of Forbes and Murray and walking through those two streets. There's a mostly indie movie theater, great restaurants representing many ethnicities (Zaw's is great, many bagel places), and fun shops (fair trade store, all board game store, a color me mine). It's a great destination for older... More
