Where To Make Friends in Pittsburgh
Description
Making friends in Pittsburgh can feel really daunting. Lots of people here are part of friend groups that formed in their elementary school years, but transplants, boomerangers, and even lifelong Pittsburghers are making new friendships all the time with the help of great social clubs. Haley Ingersoll of Pittsburgh Social Health, Dan Lampmann of Yinz Run Club, and local author Ryan Rydzewski join us to share their best tips for building community in the Burgh.
Read Ryan's story on making local friends in Pittsburgh Magazine, and hear more from Dan in our guide to running in Pittsburgh.
