Circles on the Square

Circles on the Square is the spot to get a great deli lunch. I will tell anyone and everyone that. Ever. Forever. Many of the breads are baked in house, as well as some deserts, which your mouth can tell. Whiskey Beard, Dan, expected more bacon, toasted bread and a little melted in his Owen’s Original,…

Peculiar Music Festival 2013

Love food? Love music? You may remember how we went on a bit about how great the food from NEPA’s pop up restaurant Peculiar Culinary Company was in November.

Brown Barn Cafe: Good Local Food

Homemade lemonade, chocolate pudding, and jarlsberg grilled cheeses, are just some of our favorites of this literally overpassed restaurant. When you walk into the barny exterior, you’ll first enter a foyer, then the adjacent chocolate shop (also highly recommended) to finally find the bright red walls of Brown Barn Cafe. Home to a weekly changing lunch menu, an easy favorite is the…

Aurants, Duryea oh Yay!

It’s hard to image how every local in NEPA isn’t aware of the restuarant serving sweet prosciutto banana pops, gouda smoked mac and cheese and bacon wrapped kiebasa. When like me, you’re not from here, it can take a few years to discover. The rest of the locals have had twenty plus years! To any local’s…
