Paladin Woolen Mill – P2
One of my favorite places to meet up with some girlfriends for dinner and drinks is at Paladin Woolen Mill or P2 in Clearbrook, Virginia. It’s a contemporary space with a diverse menu featuring a range of appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, and entrées, and plenty of cocktails, beers, and wines. Although it hosts a long […]
Charlotte’s Café
Breakfast is my favorite meal to eat at a restaurant. There is nothing better than finding a cozy breakfast place to get a fresh, homemade meal. We recently discovered Charlotte’s Café in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. Although they serve breakfast and lunch, we stopped for breakfast. This is about an hour drive for us, so […]
Panagiotas Taste of Greece
Greek food is one of my favorite types of food, so I was beyond thrilled when I saw a new Greek place was opening down the road from us in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Panagiotas Taste of Greece started as a food truck, and I had the opportunity to try it a few times before at […]
Bolivar Bread Bakery
I recently stumbled across a local staple in our community that I had yet to visit in the many years I’ve lived in the area – Bolivar Bread Bakery. I love the Harper’s Ferry area but am sometimes deterred from going because it’s not always easy to find parking. (Disclaimer: If you have never been […]
The Venue at Brix27 – Sunday Brunch
We were recently invited to attend the soft opening of The Venue at Brix27’s Sunday brunch. This newly renovated space will be used for different events, but they will be hosting all-you-can-eat Sunday brunches, a much-needed activity for our area. Rather than driving out of state to find a state-of-the-art brunch spot, we can enjoy […]
Taqueria Guadalajara
One of our favorite local Mexican restaurants is Taqueria Guadalajara. It is the place that my husband and I consider to be the most authentic Mexican restaurant in the area. My husband is first generation Mexican American, and since we’ve been together, I’ve been lucky enough to be exposed to the delicious food and culture […]
Cardinal Coffee
I am always on the hunt for new coffee places around me, and I recently discovered Cardinal Coffee, which just opened in the summer of 2024. Located on the road travelling from Martinsburg to Shepherdstown (Route 45), it is a permanent coffee trailer located in the parking lot of a local home décor store. I […]
The Blue Moon Café
The Blue Moon Café holds a special place in my heart. During my time at Shepherd University, I probably passed by this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant every day. It was often a place I would swing by for a quick lunch, either to sit down with friends or to grab a to-go wrap. As I graduated […]
Mountaineer Meat Smokers
We recently learned through a recommendation from our Eastern Panhandle Foodies group on Facebook that a local barbecue restaurant serves breakfast. This is one of our favorite spots in the area, so we were excited to try something new there! Their breakfast menu was impressive; they offer everything from breakfast sandwiches, burritos, omelets, as well […]
A Lot O’ Gelato
When I heard that our area had a brand-new gelato place, I couldn’t wait to try it! I love ice cream, but especially gelato, and it’s typically hard to find. In fact, I think the only time I’ve ever had gelato was on vacation. So, I was eager to get my family out to try […]
