AWESOME chicken tenders and the BEST Reuben sandwich we've ever had. And they deliver. Not much of a sit down place, but to grab-and-go or for catering, they cannot be beat. Large, mostly Italian, menu, but their cheeseburger sliders are the bomb and can be ordered in bulk!

American farm-to-table restaurant across the river in Lovettsville, VA. Their menu changes with the seasons and they like to put interesting twists on standard fare, like deviled eggs and mac & cheese. They also offer Vegan and Gluten-free menu items. Great place to go after a tour of one of the many local wineries. A little pricey for the inexpensive decor, but the food is worth it.

Parks & Nature
This is a great hike that starts from Harpers Ferry Rd along the Potomac River on the Maryland side. It's a 2-1/2 mile hike each way and is well worth the trip. It's best suited for active adults and children. This is not a "walk in the park" kind of hike. You can make the hike longer by adding in the loop to see the Old Stone Fort, ruins from the Civil War.

Other than right across the street from our house, this is the easiest access to the Towpath for parking. No parking lot, but pretty safe on-street parking, but can be crowded in the afternoons, and a 2-mile scenic, level walk or biking to Harpers Ferry with a walking bridge into Harpers Ferry alongside the railroad bridge and tunnel. Lots of paths down to the river for picnics or splashing in the river.

The cliff is above the train tunnel to the rail and walking bridges into Harpers Ferry.
