Things To Do
Lancaster Central Market
If you only go to one place in Lancaster it should be the Central Market. Melissa and Stephen's favorite spot in Lancaster! Try a whoopie pie, schnitz pie, pretzel, and don't forget to stock up on jams. It is only open Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday so plan accordingly.
Mural Map
The first time Melissa and Stephen visited Lancaster together, Melissa insisted on finding as many murals as possible. Every time they visit, Melissa finds another one!
Southern Market Lancaster
Another great market showing off the diversity of Lancaster's food scene which is open at night, has a bar, and sometimes has live music! The groom's family and friends like to play trivia here.
Callaloo
A neighborhood favorite close to Stephen's stepmom's house, and they also have a stand in the Central Market.
LUCA
Great Italian restaurant where Stephen took Melissa on a date during their first trip to Lancaster.
On Orange
One of the first places Melissa and Stephen went for brunch in Lancaster together!
Rachel's Cafe & Creperie
Great spot for savory and sweet crepes.
Thistle Finch Distillery
Great spot for a drink, and the place where Melissa first met Stephen's Dad, Geniene, and Phil.
The Belvedere Inn
Melissa and Stephen came here with Laurel and Raamaan for a double date for drinks the first time Melissa went to Lancaster with Stephen.
Tellus360
This was the first place Stephen brought Melissa in Lancaster and they ran into Stephen's cousin Aaron! This place has several different floors and bars, including a rooftop and a board game speakeasy in the basement. Food is provided by rotating food trucks.
Leola Produce Auction
A great slice of Amish and Mennonite life, this is a wholesale produce auction.
Shady Maple Smorgasbord
The United States’ largest buffet, featuring 200 feet of deliciously authentic Pennsylvania Dutch cooking in an all you can eat buffet for under $30 (and under $15 for weekday breakfast!)
