I get it- you all might be a tad apprehensive about traveling at all during the time of Covid. For months now, I have been living a cooped-up existence with my daughter in our home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have avoided large family gatherings and have kept a tight circle of close family and a few friends since this pandemic started. We have been opting to do small day trips here and there instead of a weeklong vacation like we would normally do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But let’s face it, you all- I think we all need a little adults-only time away from the kiddos for a few days after months and months of seeing their precious little faces day in and day out. Am I right? \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You may be wondering if right now is really the right time to start planning a couple’s road trip. And I totally understand your hesitation. But with the right planning and a little bit of research on your part, you can plan a fun, safe, and socially distanced getaway with your significant other.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, my boyfriend and I took a little road trip to the city he considers home- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Businesses and local attractions in the Steel City have been going above and beyond to make certain that visitors to their city can still enjoy their time there while also ensuring their health and safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the city of Pittsburgh has many so<\/span>cially distanced and safe options to add to a weekend itinerary, I will be sharing the attractions and spots that we visited during our two-day visit to the city. Each of these places practiced the suggested Covid guidelines and made sure that each visitor\/patron had a socially distanced, yet relaxing experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monterey Bay Fish Grotto<\/i><\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
If you are looking for a totally splurge-worthy dinner for two with one of the best views of Pittsburgh from above, then be sure to book a dinner reservation at the Monterey Bay Fish Grotto<\/a> on Mount Washington during your visit to the city. Having fresh seafood flown in daily, Monterey Bay is best known for their seafood dishes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

And also for their panoramic views of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Monterey Bay also offers an extensive wine selection and a handcrafted cocktail list. I was fortunate to get to sip on one of their seasonal cocktails before our dinner- the Donut Worry, Be Happy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a blend of\u00a0<\/span>Maggie\u2019s Farm Spiced Rum, Maggie\u2019s Farm Falernum, & Trax Farms Apple Cider with a cinnamon sugar caramel rim and garnished with a miniature apple cider donut.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Not sure what to order? You cannot go wrong by starting out with their Wagyu Beef Sashimi and a bowl of their She-Crab Bisque. And for the main selection? Give their Signature Crab Cakes a go- they are known for them and for good reason too. \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What makes them Covid-safe?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
