AROUND TOWN: Coming together in remembrance and celebration (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sitting in the audience of the 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at the Luzerne County Courthouse on Friday, I found myself tearing up. I listened as Luzerne County Manager Romilda Crocamo and County Councilwoman Dawn Simmons recalled their experiences in New York City on that fateful day. Both were there working and likely didn’t know each other. Now, 25 years later, these two public servants are united by that shared experience as they serve Luzerne County. The ceremony lasted for more than an hour in
AROUND TOWN: Cavanaugh’s brings good food, good music, and lively atmosphere (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you find yourself in or around Mountain Top anytime soon, you have to stop at Cavanaugh’s Grille. I hadn’t been there in years, but in recently conversing with owner Jim Foley, I knew I had to visit again. Oscar, my Uncle Ned McGinley, and I stopped for dinner on the patio last week. John Dylanger Music was playing from 5:30 to 8:30 outside, and we immediately felt welcomed walking in. The staff, the music and the vibe were all great from the get-go. As an Irishman myself, I noticed all of th
AROUND TOWN: Celebrating at Kevin’s Bar and Restaurant (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes the best nights out happen at a place you pass every day. Between running to Walgreen’s and using Wyoming Avenue as the main route for many destinations, I pass Kevin’s Bar & Restaurant in Kingston constantly. We recently dined there for my friend Tara DeGiusto’s birthday, and it was superb. Aside from seeing so many familiar faces holding court at the bar or having dinner in the dining room, the service and food were both incredible. From the minute we walked in, we were greeted pleas
AROUND TOWN: Dining on the deck at Jonathans Restaurant (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s back-to-school time and the weather is starting to turn. I hope you’re savoring the last few weeks of summer as much as possible, though. Oscar and I took a ride to Harveys Lake on Wednesday to sit on the top deck at Jonathans Restaurant on Lakeside Drive. Truthfully, I tried to remain in the moment and just enjoy the night instead of documenting options, the menu, etc. I’ve written about Jonathans before, so you know we love the vibe there. We both had delicious fish and chips entrees whil
AROUND TOWN: Stop by this lesser-known favorite! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I think about my favorite spots, many come to mind. As you know, eating out is a hobby for me. Recently, there’s a lesser-known spot I’ve been stopping at that I felt compelled to share today. It’s called Wukong Asian Restaurant and is on North Main Street in Plains Township (in the Hilldale section). Located in the former Charlie B’s Pub & Eatery, the Wukong Asian Restaurant has become a favorite of ours because the cuisine is so tasty. It’s always quiet inside and there are not a ton of t
