Weekly Roundup: Brunch Bliss, Bar Bites & a Susquehanna Valley Escape
Valley Bistro: Brunch Goals Achieved
Ever been to a restaurant where each bite makes you pause and think, “How is this even this good?” That’s us at Valley Bistro. Here’s how our recent visit went down:
Flight to the Tropics – a coffee flight dream featuring indulgent flavors like Monkey Mocha and Banana Split Matcha.
Bananas Foster French Toast – thick slices drenched in a buttery caramelized banana sauce. Pure indulgence.
French Toast Trio – the wildest brunch move yet: Holy Cannoli, Oreo-Stuffed, and Fruity Pebbles. Dessert meets breakfast in the best way.
The Mother Clucker – a tater-tot waffle loaded with buttermilk fried chicken, hot honey, cheddar, and a sunny-side-up egg. Savory, spicy, crispy perfection.
The Drunken Chicken Sandwich – fried chicken, beer cheese, bacon, jalapeño onions on a pretzel bun. Crunchy, creamy, and unforgettable.
Valley Bistro delivered a decadent, flavor-packed brunch experience—and we’re already planning our next visit.

Fratelli’s Towne Tavern: Bar Food Done Right
Tucked away in New Cumberland, PA, this local favorite serves up some of the best bar food in the region.
Crab Fries: hand-cut golden fries topped with Maryland crab and melted cheddar. A flavor-packed must-order.
Pierogies: crisp on the outside, soft inside, topped with buttery onions and a side of sour cream. Shoutout to our bartender for the tip.
Bar Pie: thin, crispy crust, tangy sauce, bubbling cheese, and perfectly charred pepperoni. It’s an absolute home run.
Fratelli’s proves that big flavors and comfort go hand-in-hand—and it’s definitely worth a stop.
