Off the beaten track holiday stops

Welcome to Planner's Pointer's Planners!

Holiday Activities are in the air!  In Pittsburgh there are several favorites like ice skating at the PPG Place rink, visiting the holiday displays at the Carnegie Museum and shopping at places like the Tanger Outlets. Today we are talking about shops and museums near these near places that are worth the trip and  make the visit even more special

Going to Downtown Pittsburgh -- Checking out the bargins at Macy's, Sak's, and other downtown stores?  Going ice skating at the PPG Place rink?  How about adding a visit to ToonSeum.  Located on the heart of the Pittsburgh's Cultural District, ToonSeum's goal is to create awareness and appreciation for the art of  cartooning.  The ToonSeum offers workshops for people of all ages and skill and exhibitions of original cartoon art.  To learn more about ToonSeum log on the website www.toonseum.org or call 412-232-0199

Tanger Outlets opened a little more than a year ago.  Located across the street from the Meadowlands Casino on Racetrack Road in Washington PA.  With 75 name brand stores there is loads of holiday shopping fun to be had.  While you are there save some time to go around the corner to Quail Acres located at the corner of Racetrack Road and Route 19.  Quail Acres has several delightful boutiques that are a worthwhile addition to your holiday shopping.  Artemis Botanicals Bath Shop has beautiful hand made soap.  There is even a great store for dogs called "Dogs Rule."

There are several other off the beaten track shopping areas and museums in Pittsburgh.  We hope to tell you more about them in 2011.
