For international flavor, locals venture into El Sol for authentic Mexican, Delhi Kabob House for Indian cuisine, and Miyako Sushi on 2nd for fresh Japanese. When it’s time for Italian, Carley’s Ristorante & Piano Bar delivers with rustic Italian specialties and Zia’s at Red Door aims to please with an extensive wine selection.

If gaming is your passion, follow the locals to the The Final Cut Steakhouse at the Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course or Winner’s Circle Saloon at Holiday Inn Harrisburg-Hershey for the perfect settings to settle your stakes over savory steaks and a classic martini or a locally brewed ice cold Tröegs beer.

For a lighter atmosphere, locals cruise by the Red Rabbit in Perry County for a helping of Bunny Burgers served car-side, before they scoop up locally made ice cream for dessert at Hall’s Ice Cream.
