Anniversary flowers in Pittsburgh

If the anniversary involves a night out, the geography tells you where the flowers should go and when. The Downtown hotel row is compact and easy to hit before check-in: the Omni William Penn on William Penn Place, the Fairmont Pittsburgh on Market Street, the Kimpton Hotel Monaco across from the William Penn, the Renaissance on Sixth Street in the Fulton Building, the Drury Plaza in the old Federal Reserve building on Grant Street, the Wyndham Grand at Point State Park, the Pittsburgh Marriott City Center beside PPG Paints Arena, the Westin at the convention center, and the Distrikt on the Boulevard of the Allies. Outside the Triangle there is the Oaklander in Oakland, Mansions on Fifth and Sunnyledge on Fifth Avenue in Shadyside, the Priory in Deutschtown on the North Side, and the Sheraton at Station Square across the Monongahela. Front desks will hold an arrangement for a guest and place it in the room at housekeeping's next pass, but they need the reservation name spelled exactly as it was booked and a check-in date. For a dinner reservation — Grandview Avenue on Mount Washington, the Grand Concourse in the old Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad terminal at Station Square, the Strip District, Butler Street in Lawrenceville, Walnut and Ellsworth in Shadyside — the studio will call the restaurant and ask before promising a table drop, since every room handles it differently and no shop here has a standing arrangement with any of them.
