Pittsburgh’s unique cultural experiences reflect the region’s longstanding embrace of innovation. One thing never changes here – a sense of warmth and friendliness, which you will find from the moment you exit the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Here are some of our favorite ways Pittsburgh is serving up the cool and unexpected for young travelers.

Before Carmel-by-the-Sea became known for its wealthy retirees, tony golf courses, and upscale resorts, it was a bohemian hot spot. More than a century ago, poets, artists, and writers—including Jack London, Salvador Dalí, and Mary Hunter Austin—decamped to the charming hamlet, today beloved for its cottage-lined cobblestone streets and picturesque stretch of coastline. Some were fleeing San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake, while others just wanted to commune with like-minded freethinkers. A bit of that creative spirit has blown back into the one-square-mile town these past few years, driven by an influx of 30-and 40-somethings who have arrived to start businesses—drawn, like their predecessors, by the beauty of nature and the quality of life here. The result: a host of fresh restaurants and boutique hotels that are making Carmel more dynamic than it's been in years.

Many years ago, there was really only one major rewards card that cost more than around $100 per year — and that was the ubiquitous Platinum Card® from American Express. If you wanted to get into a Centurion Lounge — which at the time was in a league of its own — you didn't leave home without it.
When you've booked a sailing that's 132 days long, what's one more day? Fun — that's what. Holland America Line has redone the back half of its 2026 Grand World Voyage, which is now a day longer than originally scheduled — but for an interesting reason.

I've had more than 20 credit cards for several years now, and I take great care to maximize each one.

Loyal TPG reader Jonathan Phillippe is a serviceman stationed in Oman with his wife and two young children. He recently redeemed 210,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles for three business-class seats on Etihad Airways. The family planned to fly from Muscat International Airport (MCT) to Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) for a short visit to the States. His 6-month-old son would travel as a lap infant with one of the adults.
I've never really had a work bag that I truly loved; I've always opted for a backpack that I kept from my time in school, but I'd been eager to switch over to something that looked more professional (and made me feel less like a kid on their way home from class), but was still versatile enough that I could use regularly. While I certainly love to sport a classic canvas tote on the weekends—perfect for tossing in odds and ends while out and about—I needed something more structured and sturdy for work and travel so my essentials wouldn't be knocking around inside. The 13-inch System Tote from Cuyana was definitely more upscale than my average canvas tote, seamlessly befitting happy hours, work, and exciting new restaurant openings. I loved the signature Italian leather exterior and interior, which was understated, tasteful, and complimented any outfit I threw on.
