Thursday, September 30, 2010
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The editors of Travel + Leisure have named Mt. Lebanon among the 25 "Coolest Suburbs Worth a Visit." The article, out this month, includes a picture of the facade of Washington Road's Uptown Coffee.
A quote from the article in Travel: "Part of this town's allure is the friendly vibe and proximity to Downtown Pittsburgh, six miles away . . . Social life bustles along Washington Road, where you'll find requisite boutiques and bistro-style dining options as well as specialty purveyors like Dinardo's Candy."
Travel + Leisure's Executive Editor, Rich Beattie, said the editorial team was looking for towns that are "attractive to people under 40, to singles and to couples not necessarily looking to raise a family." They had several criteria, including: A dynamic, walkable downtown, flourishing local restaurants that appeal to foodies, an established nightlife/bar scene and worthy cultural attractions.
Among the other notable communities are Evanston, Ill., La Jolla, Calif. and The Woodlands, Texas.
