Lawrenceville, Neighborhood Shopping & Boutique Shops Near Downtown Pittsburgh

Shopping for an attitude adjustment?

Have decades of big box shopping got you down in the dumps? Not feeling the love at the national chains? Come to Lawrenceville for your retail therapy cure.

Our business districts are home to independently owned shops, studios, and art galleries that runneth over with one-of-kind finds. Here, you’ll meet proprietors who pay attention to your personal interests and help you score finds with lasting satisfaction.

Creativity runs deep in our neighborhood culture, and locally made goods are strongly represented. In fact, you might just be buying your favorite new thing directly from the artist who created it. Call us old-fashioned, but we find these from-my-hands-to-yours transactions a lot more gratifying than the act of removing another “Made in China” label from your latest purchase.

Discover shopping beyond the barcodes. Discover local artists. Rediscover what makes shopping fun. Visit our Business Directories for Lawrenceville and the 16:62 Design Zone.
