Pittsburgh is a patchwork of distinctive neighborhoods, and many are rich with ethnic history and modern innovation. When the open-air markets and artisan shops of the Strip District close, restaurants and nightclubs open in their place. Bloomfield boasts the title of "Pittsburgh's Little Italy," and the family-oriented Polish Hill requires little elaboration. Marvel at the mansions in Shadyside , the artists' lofts in Lawrenceville, or the Victorian homes of the Mexican War Streets. Pittsburgh neighborhoods are diverse, but they are united in their strong sense of community pride.
