Unfortunately, I've been sick since I got back which has prevented me from posting.
Here's a few of the more than 600 photos I took at the Conservatory:
Our first night in the city, we dined at The Church Brew Works. The brewery/restaurant is actually inside an old church. It was a very neat place and waiter/chef had no problem veganizing a dish for me. We shared a plate of the home made chips and I had an Israeli cous cous salad with tofu.
Day 1: Chihuly day time viewingLunch at The Quiet Storm
Cococino (Soy coconut cappuccino)
"Chicken Tenders"
Magic Snake (Seitan philly steak)
In the evening, we took the incline car up Mount Washington and viewed the city on a very chilly night.
Dinner at Double Wide Grill, a veg friendly BBQ joint. My camera was toast at this point, so pics from my phone will have to suffice.
I loved how they displayed the wines!
BBQ Seitan Wings
Pulled Seitan Sandwich
Double wide added pearl barley to their seitan which created some great texture. That is something I'd like to try in the future.
Day 2: We checked out the East End Food Coop for breakfast and snacks. What a great store! Besides the loads of bulk options, they had home made vegan baked goods/entrees.
The Mattress Factory is renowned as one the of best installation art facilities in the country. We stopped there to walk through some really interesting exhibits. The cafe there was veg friendly and I enjoyed some beet soup and a salad.
The Heinz History Center has 7 floors to explore. There was so much to see here that we actually ran out of time. From Lewis & Clark, to the history of the Heinz Company, to the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, to Pittsburgh's cultural history...this was one place I would like to check out again.
After this, we rushed to see the Chihuly again at night. The Phipps cafe was vegan friendly which I've yet to see at many Boston museums. I grabbed a Thai tofu wrap and some Thai tomato soup.
We shipped out of Pittsburgh the next morning and made it back to Boston just after a snowstorm started. Luckily for us, our flight wasn't canceled.
