The past year has been a rough one, but if there’s anything that can bring even a small bit of light to a dark situation, it’s food. We're excited to devote our May issue to celebrating the food and drink businesses around the Susquehanna Valley.
If the increase in at-home cooking has you at your breaking point, check out our cooking feature on page 36 in which the experts at Zest Cooking School help us solve some common cooking conundrums. If you’re still ready to burn the apron, the newly remodeled classic Lombardo’s is a must-try. Turn to page 20 to take a look inside.
It’s not just about the food—our beverage scene has been booming! Turn to page 30 as we take a look at the rise of locally produced spirits, ciders, wines, and brews. I’m sure I’m not the only one itching for a happy hour more often lately. Ready for an at-home happy hour? Try some of the cocktail concoctions on page 23.
If you’re looking for even more food inspiration, follow some of our favorite local craving-inducing foodie influencers on page 27. Warning—they will make you hungry, but sometimes it’s better to give in to that craving as you’ll learn on page 18 where we dive into the anatomy of a craving.
Speaking of social media, don’t forget to keep an eye on our Instagram during the month of May as we introduce #FoodieFridays. Each Friday, a local restaurant will be guest hosting our account and giving you a peek inside their kitchen.
Happy dining!
