Breakfast never clocks out at this red brick diner. Pancakes at dinnertime? Totally allowed, and nobody will blink. The building first opened in January 1962 under a different name. It changed hands twice before landing on the name it carries today, and it has been feeding neighbors ever since. I...

This Old-School Pennsylvania Italian Restaurant Is A Dream Come True For Ravioli Lovers

The ravioli here is homemade, and one version packs in six cheeses. That number alone made me stop scrolling. Six is a lot of cheese for one little pasta pillow. The recipes trace back to a woman named Terry, who started cooking for this dining room in 1951. Her name is still on the sign. Her crispy thin-crust pizza still shares the spotlight with that ravioli.

Pennsylvania Roadside Landmark Was Nearly Replaced, but Two Women Brought Back a Family Favorite

Ice cream nachos exist, and they’re being served at a revived roadside creamery that opens at 6:30 in the morning. That early start matters because this spot now pours coffee and makes griddled breakfast sandwiches before most ice cream shops even unlock the door. Later in the day, the menu swings toward smash burgers, cheesesteaks, and milkshakes.

Tropical Smoothie Cafe's Williamsport grand opening a resounding success

Williamsport, Pa. — Dozens stood — and some slept — in the cold for hours outside of Williamsport’s first Tropical Smoothie Cafe, securing their spot to win a year of free smoothies for the first 50 to enter. The store’s held their grand opening at 8 a.m. on Saturday with a ribbon cutting, courtesy of the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce. Lycoming County Commissioner Marc Sortman joined in on the festivities at the 1927 E. Third St. store. The Tropical Smoothie Cafe, which has been in its soft opening stage since Sept. 27, neighbors the freshly-opened Wing Stop, which had its first day of operations in Williamsport on Sept. 14. This location’s owners are familiar with the area’s smoothie scene. Het Patel, a Danville graduate, and his family opened the Tropical Smoothie Cafe at 195 AJK Blvd., Lewisburg in May while working on plans for the Williamsport location — and they’re not done. A Bloomsburg location is in talks, a staff member said. The cafe is a popular addition in the northcentral region's college towns, with a separately-ran store in State College open since 2024. The Williamsport restaurant has five full-time positions and several part time, according to staff. The menu
