Suggestions on good meet up spot between NYC %26amp; Pittsubrgh?

Hi pingle -

If you%26#39;re looking for an escape from city life, one idea is Gettysburg, approximately 3.5 hours from both Manhattan %26amp; Pittsburgh - besides the obvious historical reasons to visit, there%26#39;s outlet %26amp; smaller boutique shopping, some really great historic restaurants, hotels %26amp; charming inns (even whole Civil War-period farmhouses for rent, if you%26#39;re a large party), tours,...something for everyone, all at a relaxed pace. If you%26#39;re looking for a happening night life, you won%26#39;t find it here - but if relaxation is the plan, that%26#39;s what you%26#39;ll get. Also, if time permits for day trips, D.C. %26amp; the Amish areas of PA are a short drive away, as well as several state parks. Hope this helps!

What about a nice resort in the Poconos mountains?

I agree that Gettysburg is a great place to visit. A new visitors center just opened this spring. I recommend the Courtyard by Marriott and The Avenue Restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Boyd%26#39;s Bear Homestead is just outside Gettysburg, even if bears aren%26#39;t your thing just driving up to the building is an experience you do not want to miss. I also recommend you check out any Ghost Tours, we went on one last October and when we looked at our photo%26#39;s - guess what - we had ghosts!

Also, Lancaster County has a lot to offer. I would recommend shopping in Intercourse, PA if you want Amish items. And there are a number of antique dealers in the area. Hershey is nearby with the amusement park and the Hershey chocolate factory. They do not allow tours in the actual factory (they did when I was in elementary school and my husband works for a company that deals with Hershey so he was just in the factory this past Spring) but they do have a Chocolate World that is worth taking the tour. If you stay in Hershey - do not stay at Spinners Inn hotel!

Have fun in PA!
