Best Place to See the Furries During Anthrocon
Il Tetto
942 Penn Ave. Third Floor, Downtown.
siennamercato.com
The winner of last year’s Best Of PGH Best Rooftop Bar, Il Tetto at Sienna Mercato has the perfect view over Penn Ave. to see all the Anthrocon (and other various people-watching) action down below. During Anthrocon, furry fans can catch the annual fursuit parade with a bourbon neat, fine wine, or craft cocktail in hand without having to deal with the crowded streets below. If you’re afraid you won’t get a close-up view of your favorite furries from up above, fear not. The furries have been welcome in this space for years, and they often celebrate at all three restaurants in Sienna Mercato’s Penn Ave. space. Heck, you might even walk out with a souvenir. -Stacy Rounds
