  1. Must be fun to show your son your spouse’s hometown. It sounds like you have endless options for restaurants of a great mix of cultures. That makes it fun to return over and over again to sample everything thermos to offer.

  2. So glad to read about stuff to do after Christmas. I was pleasantly surprised that the STRIP district is great for kids. Sometimes names can be baffling. I love sledding and tubing. So cool.

  3. The time after the festivities are over can be a bit boring because suddenly it gets all quite. I experience it every year after Diwali in India. Think its a great idea to plan things after Christmas with kids to keep the energy levels high 🙂 Wow. That candy ! I would be as excited in the candy store! Just love the colors and variety! Pittsburgh Children’s Museum and sledding would be fun. Seems like a lot many things that could be done in Pittsburgh! And kids would love them all.

  4. What a great way to beat those Christmas blues once the fun is over. I did not expect so much activity surely and that to for the kids. Would surely take the kids to enjoy the candy and biscotti stores, and to finish it off in style would stop by Peace Love & Little Donuts for that treat. A great post must say and very informative.

    1. Thank you, Amar! We won’t be able to enjoy all those this Christmas, but will do it over Thanksgiving Break. Minus the sledding, probably.

    1. Oh, my. If you ever get to stop in Pittsburgh, at least you have to spend 2 days just for test tasting the food along the Strip District, starting from breakfast to evening snacks. There are so many choices.

  5. Pittsburgh is still a white spot on my list. On my trips to U.S. I still did not manage to make a visit so far and thats a pity. Really cool to see that Pittsburgh has so much to offer, also in Wintertimes. My favourite place to visit would be surely the Carnegie Science Center, since it sounds really amazing. But also the other museums sound interesting and actually after Christmas I think would be a perfect time for visits, great idea!a

    1. I understand that Pittsburgh is not the first choice for visitors from outside the country. Whenever you get another change, try to stop. Carnegie Science Center will blow your mind.

  6. I heard some good things about Pittsburgh before but never thought about visiting. After reading this post, I think that’ll change. I didn’t know the winters were so picturesque over there, your pictures are amazing! Thank you for sharing

    1. Haha… Wait for my next post about Pittsburgh, Daniel. I hope to explore more of the downtown area this coming Thanksgiving Break.

  7. Believe me, I haven’t experience celebrating Christmas in a snowy place and I think it would be a fun idea. If I am in Pittsburgh, I will spend my Christmas skating and sledding and will not mind that I am freezing, LOL.
    Any outdoor activities would be fine as well.

    1. This is the first city I had my white Christmas. Since we don’t get snow every year in Texas, so we never turn an opportunity to sled whenever we’re here. lol.

  8. What a cool concept of POST Christmas activities! We normally hear about the before and during so this was a nice change in pace Umiko. I think the most enjoyable for me… I mean the kids… would be the candy! And who wouldn’t miss a shop called “Peace Love & Little Donuts”?! Like seriously, yes please. The museums sound very interesting and I bet you made a LOT of Pittsburgh parents happy with this post. 🙂

    1. Yeah, Pittsburgh was the location of Batman (forgot which one) and some other movies. It looks even prettier with snow covering the ground.
