Discover Poconos Mountain Region
The Poconos Mountains of eastern Pennsylvania has long been a major tourist attraction, but with more people choosing to call it home, the area offers more interesting food choices. Being a classic honeymoon destination, new eateries offering romantic ambiance along with inventive dishes have become popular, and well-established restaurants specializing in Italian and German dishes have also stepped up their creativity. Chophouses and cozy pubs serve traditional fare with excellent beers, and fine dining can be found just as easily as a good hot dog. With the increased demand for varied food experiences by vacationers, the Poconos Mountains host some surprisingly diverse restaurants among the log lodges and quiet inns for which the area is rightfully famous.
