Walk over to the Nationality Rooms Gift Center. Browse the selection of gift items imported from the countries represented in the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning.

End your trip with a quick bite at Tamarind. This Indian restaurant is housed in an old Victorian house and offers a very good lunch buffet daily. It is a short walk from the previous stop and provides a flavorful finish to your afternoon.
