What we’re about
This is a group for those of us who are older, wiser and perhaps a little slower and stiffer than the young people who turn out for many of the other meetups. The goal is to provide a variety of activities—something for everyone—so we can make new friends and find adventures together. We are inclusive and tolerant of all beliefs and backgrounds. From movies, museums and meals to concerts and hikes, we'll find ways to connect and support one another. We also hope others will step up and join us in planning and organizing events. Let's celebrate our age and experience!
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Walk in Frick Park + Café at the FrickCafé at the Frick, Pittsburgh, PA
First, at 11:30, we will take a walk through Frick Park, down Homewood Trail and back up on Tranquil Trail. There is a steeper hill going down, and a more gradual hill going back up. Wear comfortable walking shoes that can get dirty since it may rain the day before ... the hike is about 1 mile. Afterward, at about 12:45, we can enjoy lunch at the Café at the Frick on the Frick Museum grounds. Menu and Café Info. You may attend just the hike or just lunch or both. The weather should be good (forecast is partly sunny and 79°). If that changes to rain, I will cancel the hike and just offer the lunch.
We will meet at the entrance to the parking lot of The Frick museum on Reynolds street at 11:30 am. Parking in the lot is free and on the area streets as well.

This is on Forbes across from Chase Bank. Don't confuse it with the Mediterranean Cuisine Turkish restaurant a few doors closer to Carnegie Library.
The Mediterranean Grill is a family owned and operated business established in Pittsburgh’s East end in 1992. Eva, the proprietor, came from from Lebanon to the US in 1978, along with her husband, Said and children. Eva was inspired to use her passion for cooking as an instrument to create a career for herself and thus have the means by which to share authentic, homemade Lebanese dishes with the rest of Pittsburgh. Eva‘s brother, Elias, a chef by profession, immigrated to the US in 1991, the undertaking of bringing this inspiration into materialization began.
