Lancaster, Pennsylvania
An inventive, international array of flavors fed by Amish farms.
Two hours’ drive west of Philadelphia, you’ll find this town of 60,000… but only after passing the farms (many of them Amish) that are putting produce on your tables here and feeding the constant, eclectic farmers markets that swarm the conspicuously quaint Downtown. No less an authority on hipness than, the, uh, New York Post has dubbed Lancaster “the new Brooklyn,” but that misses wide. If anything, Brooklyn would envy this much farm for its farm-to-table restaurants, and at such low prices for high-end dining.
If you have just one meal: Scarf down the duck truffle pizza at The Pressroom Restaurant and Bar; the Aussie Burger at Aussie and the Fox; or the Svenska Pannkakor (Swedish pancakes) at On Orange. Chase it with a Go Big or Go Rob at Pour. — Sammy Nickalls
