Friendly, quaint Irish pub with booths and great food in pretty large portions, like Guinness shredded beef on nachos or fries. Definitely a popular hub for locals.

Parks & Nature
A big park with a road just over 2 miles that you can bike, run, or walk. Also has a huge dog park in it, right next to the historic Observatory. There are also tons of trails through the woods if you're feeling more adventurous, a playground, swimming pool, and tennis courts.

Lovely bike trail that goes by the riverside for several miles. You can get on at Federal Street, where there's a Healthy Ride station for bike rentals ($2/hr) and then ride it to Millvale or Sharpsburg, where there are a number of great breweries.

Essentials
The closest grocery store; it has most things you would need. For a longer stay, I recommend heading to a Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, or ALDI - but Giant Eagle is perfect for last-minute or quick trips.
