    Attraction Name
    2nd St  (http://www.harrisburghello.com/place.asp?PlaceType=3)
    Description
    This is THE place for an evening on the town. Once a run-down part of the city, it's been revitalized to have an extremely active night life, any night of the week.

    Friday/Saturday nights are crazy down there, so expect to feel like you're in a frat party at these bars.

    Attraction Name
    Hershey Park  (http://www.hersheypa.com)
    Description
    Nice large amusement park in Hershey PA. While you're here, definitely check out Chocolate World, where you go through a "tour" of the chocolate factory.

    Bar Name
    Ceoltas
    Description
    Extremely weak drinks. Even when we asked for stronger drinks, they were unimpressive.

    The interior was nice, irish-y, and they had a good cover band on Saturday nights. If you're looking for a good drink at a good price, go somewhere else.

    A fairly quiet bar on 2nd St in Harrisburg, at least quiet by 2nd St standards. Nice upstairs and some limited space upstairs.

    Bar Name
    Molly Brannigans  (http://www.mollybrannigans.com)
    Description
    Nice Irish pub in downtown Harrisburg in the new "hub" of action --2nd St.

    Since I'm a quiet bar guy, I like to go on Sundays when it's not so busy. There's a fireplace and great Irish beers on tap.

    Description
    Nice brewpub just outside downtown Harrisburg. Good food and great beers on tap.

    I'd suggest the Mountain Lager.

    Restaurant Name
    Cafe Fresco
    Description
    Quirky sandwich/pizza/salad place. There's one downtown as well. They've got funky chairs, jazz on Saturday nights and some of the best quick food that you can get.

    I've had the Tuscan Chicken, turkey and brie and the basil pesto pizza. All excellent. I'd highly recommend it.

    Restaurant Name
    El Rodeo
    Description
    Decent Mexican restaurant in suburbia. This place used to be a hole in the wall and then expanded into a larger place.

    The food is decent, but not amazing. The service is subpar.

    Try the fajitas when you're there. That's one of their best things on the menu.

    Description
    Excellent, trendy restaurant in downtown Harrisburg. Good beer selection, excellent apps and entrees. I had an excellent seabass, and the steaks were cooked exactly by request.

    Restaurant Name
    Hotel Hershey
    Description
    Go for the Sunday brunch. It's absolutely fabulous. In Chocolate Town, USA, they've got chocolate everything... appetizers, entrees and of course, desserts.

    It's slightly formal with jackets required, but it's a beautiful setting. The service is excellent and the food is unbelievable.

    On the expensive side (about $35 for the buffet/person), but worth it.

    Restaurant Name
    Lios Pizza & Sub Shop
    Description
    By far, the best pizza shop that I've ever been to. They have the best bread for their rolls. My favorite is the italian sub, though the turkey and cheese is excellent, too.

    This is also the cleanest restaurant that I've ever seen. You could almost eat off of the floors. I'd highly recommend this one, especially if you're hungry for a sub.

    Good local bar on your way to Hershey on Route 39.

    They have some of the best burgers that I've ever had. Good crab cakes and a nice selection of beer.
