Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Perched over Pittsburgh, the Bluff stands out for its greenery: 12 parks give it an unusually open feel for a central neighborhood, and seven coffee shops averaging 4.6 make it easy to linger. The 25 restaurants skew independent, and Yelp's 4.8 average across nearly 2,500 reviews suggests the food scene punches above its size. Foursquare's regulars pick up on the hospital-and-medical-center presence that defines a chunk of the daytime crowd, alongside bars, a lounge, and even an arcade. Names like Arepittas, Cafe Du Jour, and Cilantro & Ajo signal a leaning toward Latin American and cafe fare. With a single court and a couple of gyms, it's more about strolling and eating than sweating.
