Food scene
Our local go-to restaurant/bar covering everything from breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as a bar scene open later in the evening. They are known for their wings (on Thurs and Sun) and a good crowd of both locals and visitors. It’s a great place to watch games and there is often live music. You may want to check on wait times for the restaurant on the weekends.

Skytop is the essence of the old Poconos. It's a beautiful property, especially unique around the holidays and great for special occasions. There are three restaurants. You’ll want to call ahead for a reservation and ask about dress code depending on restaurant. If you're making the drive its worth going early to check out the property during any season. We love grabbing a drink in the library lounge.

Ahart's Market

If you appreciate and are interested in fine cuts of meat, home-made sausage, rare game, cheeses, seafood, etc. The Butcher Shoppe is a diamond in the rough right around the corner. Not necessarily a grocery store and you wouldn't want to compare to grocery store items. You’ll pay more but good value for quality. They’ve been there for over 40 years. Mark is very knowledgeable and loves to discuss all types of meat, how to prepare, etc. You can mention the Iorio’s sent you.
