Farmers market on Saturdays at River Common has cheap ready meals and good coffee, go around 10am before lunchtime crowds and vendor sellouts.
Concert at the arena was fun, traffic was manageable and security quick. Grab pizza near Public Square, skip the chain spots by the casino.
छोटा शहर, सुहावना नदी किनारा, दोस्ताना डाइनर और आश्चर्यजनक बेकरी दृश्य। अगर आप पोकोनो के डे-ट्रिप नहीं कर रहे हैं तो दो दिन काफी हैं।
Translated from English ·
Weather in June was humid and gray, downtown felt a bit sleepy at night. Nice if you want a low key weekend, not a party city.
Park in the municipal garage on Public Square, it is cheaper than meter spots along the river and within easy walking distance to restaurants.
