Eat, drink and be merry in sporty style
All righty then. Today, on this very page, we gave you some ideas for a Super Bowl spread. The kind you, you know, whip up yourself, if you’re hosting a game watch (or any sports-related gathering) at home. But what about those of ...
Metro adds city-chic to elegant meals
Among the good things we can say about Metro is that it looks and feels so … well, hey … metro, so city-chic, so elegant yet casual, the kind of place you’d like to bring that visiting out-of-towner friend of yours who’s so fond o ...
Have Brazilian, no need to travel beyond Scranton
So these two wimps walked into a churrascaria …
Comfort food finds a home at the Skillet
A dining-scene gap has officially been filled at Harveys Lake. And with what a down-home, delicious filling indeed. Let’s just say we wandered in with expectations far too low, so here’s to pleasant Sunday-afternoon surprises.
This pub grub is sure to raise your spirits
Notice anything a bit different, did you, when you visited this year’s version of that annual red-fruit party known as the Pittston Tomato Festival?
We’re not bluffing: Rustic Kitchen is a sure bet
The thing about dining at a casino restaurant is it’s hard to avoid doing a little math, particularly if you’re budget-conscious by necessity or choice.
Two Forty Seven plays low-risk hand at a trendy table
Sitting inside a stylish, warehouse-y and urbanesque, if low-rise, building with an exterior now painted a rich, come-hithery red and an interior spunked up with jazzy art and publike furnishings, I and my inner foodie silently di ...
The River Grille is a renovated riverfront delight
Forlorn fans of the former East End hangout The Grapevine Grille can take heart, if they haven’t already: The lost restaurant has a new incarnation in a snazzy, new, now-riverfront location.
Breakfast is back, so bring an appetite to ‘A Touch of Class’
With all the hot new dinner choices cropping up recently – new restaurants, restaurants changing hands, that sort of business – the Munch Bunch decided to go out for breakfast.
Make merry-merry, give Thai Thai a try try
So we had a little fun trying to one-up each other while exchanging e-mails in anticipation of our trip to downtown Wilkes-Barre’s newest, perhaps coolest ethnic restaurant. (No offense, Katana. We love you, too.)
Good things under Cork
Not to underplay the fresh, appetizing food, attentive service or anything else essential to a top-quality eatery, but one of the things that’s nicest about Cork, the smallish, house-like establishment nestled in Wilkes-Barre’s No ...
Latest jewel a sparkling downtown dig
We’ve only just met, yet it’s hard to shake the feeling this could be the start of something wonderful. Brash at it may seem and so very soon, dare I ask: Caf� Toscana, will you commit?
Fresh, local ingrediants rule menu
Whether they’ve traveled to Bloomsburg, Clarks Summit or Canadensis, people from the Wyoming Valley area have been willing to go the distance for an exceptional dining experience. The Summerhouse Grill puts Montrose onto that sele ...
Chicago-style shop takes all the beef
Where at least one video store and one pizza shop did not, ultimately, succeed – on a fairly visible corner in the Brookside section of the city – here’s hoping a new venture trading mostly in “Chicago-style” beef can.
Really Cooking Caf� has the right ingredients
Sloppy Joseppi won out.
Best of both worlds offered
During the past few months I had heard so much hype about the Asian Cafe from various friends and coworkers, I simply had to find out for myself what all the fuss was about.
Dining out at Via Del Lago
A restaurant has resided on the same corner for as long as anyone could remember, though most might remember it as the Jersey Shore, a Lake Street staple in Dallas.
Tipsy Turtle pub now wearing a whole new shell
Tough times call for cool-but-conscious menus. That’s why we particularly like the turtle-studded two-pager we recently came across in Swoyersville containing no item over $9.
Honky Tonk earns two cowboy boots up
Let’s get something out of the way quickly: We did not drive to Lackawanna County looking for the cool little place we’re about to describe to you. In fact, we drove there looking for another place entirely, a funky new Latin esta ...
‘King’ of the lunchtime world
You may know Senunas’ as a King’s College staple.
Sailing in for seafood at Cooper’s
I don’t think anything screams summer quite the way a nice seafood dinner does. Maybe it’s because it’s reminiscent of the Mouth’s childhood summers “down the Jersey shore,” but when it comes this time of year, I, quite like a sha ...
When at Kyoto, stick to the main course
With only a handful of Japanese restaurants in Northeastern Pennsylvania, we trekked to Clarks Summit, to Kyoto, to sample some Asian cuisine.
Lunchtime restaurant offers quick, tasty meals
The former Expresso Restaurant along River Road in Jenkins Township is up and running again thanks to a pair of local brothers.
