The quaint streets of Uptown offer a sense of rich charm and history with an eclectic culture. Uptown boasts a great variety of entertainment options—catch a Penguins game or a live concert at PPG Paints Arena, grab a late night snack at Buford’s Kitchen, or venture over to Downtown and explore Market Square!
