Harrisburg offers so many fabulous dining options! Here are some of our favorites...
Fantastic farmers market! This place has it all - food, baked goods, arts, craft beers, artisanal charcuterie, locally grown produce, and more! Broad Street Market is the oldest continuously operated market house in the United States!

The local beers here are delicious. We argue over which is their best IPA... spoiler alert... they're ALL good! Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere with a beautiful patio when the weather is nice. We also love their Sunday brunch!

Craft beer, a rooftop biergarten, an open-air courtyard, a really fun menu (YES to the chicken sandwich)... oh and an ART GALLERY! This place is great for any meal. Check out their trivia night up on the rooftop on Tuesdays @6pm in the Spring and Summer!

Take a morning stroll and get your caffeine on at this cozy coffee shop. There are a few of these but we like the one on Green Street - because we know that one has the breakfast sandwiches! Highly recommend the egg and cheese - on a biscuit!

Great place! We love the friendly and attentive service. And the food is ALWAYS delicious. I recommend the gnocchi and Andy swears by just about any of their seasonal options.

Highly recommend the Sunday brunch here! Great food, laid back vibe, and super friendly staff. Really good bloody Mary and huevos rancheros… and don’t turn down the hash brown! Reservations are advised but bar dining seems to turn over pretty fast!

We consider this our ‘local’ as it’s very convenient to the house! A super casual neighborhood bar. Stop in for a craft beer and some good pub food. An easy choice after a long day exploring Harrisburg.

If you like to hike, ride bicycles, skate, jog, fish, spot rare birds, learn about history, enjoy native flora and fauna, and appreciate nature then you might want to check out the Capital Area Greenbelt trails. The majority of the trail is a dedicated path that passes along the Susquehanna and several parks and gardens.
