Squirrel Hill is an old neighborhood near Chatham University, University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. Wedged between Frick and Schenley Parks, it is just north of the Parkway East (I-376). The atmosphere is comparable to Shadyside with fewer bars and more shopping, as well as being slightly more relaxed and easier to find parking. Many good ethnic restaurants are in this neighborhood.

With the proximity to numerous colleges, museums, and downtown Pittsburgh, there is a diverse community. But, the general ethnic identity of the neighborhood is Jewish. During various religious holidays and weekly periods of worship, the prevalence of the culture is obvious.
