Food in Poconos – Think beyond Pub and Grub!

If you have a foodie vacation in mind, you must head over to Pocono Mountains. You can easily expect the extraordinary here, far removed from the deli, bar, pub, and grill scene you must have envisioned when thinking of the Poconos as this place is fondly called.  

The Poconos is an all-season tourist destination. Its gorgeously untouched natural beauty is a draw for tourists from all over the world. Also, its economy is quite tourist-driven which ensures ample adventures and experiences for people of all ages. Except for the months of February, March, and September, you will find visitors enjoying themselves to the hilt here in the Poconos. Along with taking in all the abundant scenic vistas, you can enjoy activities like whitewater rafting, swimming, ropes course-ing in the summer months, skiing in the winter, and hiking in the fall. Not to mention the food! Ah, the divine dishes you can get here!

Super Delish Dishes

Not only can you get ethnic, home-style, local game, and organic food here, but you can also go all fancy by indulging in fine dining as well. 

There are many farm-to-table restaurants here, along with sidewalk cafes you can relax in a while listening to live music. 

The food culture here is diverse and exciting. While many towns and cities boast of a particular type of cuisine, there is, as such, no Poconos Cuisine. Instead, it is a much better alternative to a wide spectrum of special culinary experiences that range from local farm produces to meats and cheeses to hot dogs and ice creams. You may wonder about global cuisines, and lo and behold, you can chow down on Caribbean, Vietnamese and Peruvian dishes too. Can it really get more global than that?

The Poconos can easily boast of lip-smacking Pennsylvanian dining delights that stand second to none, all the while offering the visitor amazing agri-tourism experiences as well. 

Building up an appetite

If you think a vacation to Pocono Mountains means filling up all the time on those scrumptious dishes, you are entirely wrong. After all, you have to get those hunger pangs in a legit way!

Go hiking: whether you are traveling alone or with family, there is surely a hike for everyone – ranging from complex and adventurous to easy and exciting. The Ricketts Glen Falls Trail is a stunning trail with a 7-mile loop. Intrepid hikers can feast their orbs on 21 different waterfalls here. Once back, you can feast on dishes made using seasonal produce from Retherford’s Farm Market. 

If you don’t want to hike so much, you can take the Mount Minsi hike, which is shorter than the Ricketts Glen Falls Trail. It boasts of spectacular views, all of which will invite you to take a minute or more to truly appreciate nature in all its glory. To celebrate your efforts, you can take a well-deserved yummy break at Joe Bosco BBQ and fill your tummy up with their delicious offerings.  Hadlines
