Informally called "Etsy Live", this store is filled with stalls of all sorts, including local art, vintage items/apparel, vinyl, memorabilia, jewelry and much more!
Best crepes in town and our go-to spot with guests
Open Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays; Central Market is a must-visit in downtown Lancaster for Amish baked goods (try a whoopie pie or a stroopie!), produce, and more.
Southern Market is a great place to eat for those with worldly or adventurous palettes! Food stands serving food from around the world line the walls with Bar 1888 in the middle. Chris' pick: X Marks The Spot (soul food) Olivia's pick: Flavors of Moracco (get the mini potato samosas and mango lassi)
There are several local artist studios along this stretch of Prince Street, many of them open for public walk-ins to view their galleries.
The largest of Lancaster's parks, the Lancaster County Central Park is a great way to get into nature within the city. There are several trails for walking/biking, a beautiful stream, tennis and basketball courts, and much more for those looking to get some exercise.
Nothing like a little shopping while on vacation!
This is where Chris and Olivia went on their first date in February 2021 AND where Chris popped the question in May 2024! The path is fairly flat and only about 0.5 miles long, but the view of the Susquehanna River is beautiful (and romantic) year-round.
If you're a fan of baseball, catch a Thursday or Saturday night Lancaster Stormers game at Clipper Magazine Stadium just outside downtown Lancaster!
