    I've lived in the city of Scranton since 2018 and I find it very enjoyable to live if you live in…read morethe right section of the city . I however have to question the safety of the citizens because on March 1st of 2025 I was at the MARTZ bus terminal at around 4:30 in the morning waiting for a bus . The bus terminal was closed and there was no security around to protect someone waiting for the bus . Shortly after waiting a man approached me and attempted to physically assault me I however found myself getting out of that situation but he continued to hover and stalk. I called the Scranton PD and they responded within 5 minutes which was awesome . When I contacted the bus terminal Administration the following Wednesday I was told the reason why they kept the bus terminal close was to save money . They were very Unapologetic they were more concerned about saving money than my life . I have since contacted mayor's office waiting for a return call which I don't hold out very much hope because they've been back and forth with me on this . I wanted to get my story out on the media they won't touch it but if somebody got killed they'd be all over it . My advice is not to go to the bus terminal and wait for a bus because you are totally unprotected unless you're lucky enough to have the police nearby .

It's one of my favourite cities in the country, partly because my concerts here have been absolutely spectacular and partly because they have one of my favourite pizza places and hot dog places in the country. Maroni's for dirt cheap amazing slices, and Coney Island of Scranton for a White Hot with everything. Brilliantly original name right? Coney Island. Yeah because that's related to Scranton. Settle down Detroit. Also it's one of those beautiful old haunted towns that is stuck in the past which is very peculiar to this part of Pennsylvania. Scranton is probably the defining one for me even more than Harrisburg and Allentown because it just has more significance in my life. It's absolutely beautiful and very underrated, situated in a valley with massive hills which are basically mountains all around, and gorgeous views by day or night. Yes it is now sparsely-populated and old and Industrial but it also has a low cost of living and believe me this town is nothing like The Office television show. Now I want you in every one of my Offices. Or... not. Or something else? Or offices.

It's a beautiful place, nice lounge area, classy bar (pls remember you're still at a nice place, cough cough backward hat guy...). We sat down at our candle lit table and got complimentary water and our waitress sent over some bread and olive oil... the waitress with the bread, well wasn't the most social person. She gave us each a big piece of bread and some olive oil. We did request black pepper in the oil which I suggest. The bread was also cold which was strange. 6/10 For appetizers we got beef carpaccio and calamari. The beef carpaccio came out with a oniony creamy dip, arugula, onion, capers, and dill in the middle on top of the thin meat. Strangely it came with like 4 house made salt and vinegar potato chips. I honestly liked it so much and wanted more and I got it for dessert... 8.8/10. The calamari was perfectly cooked, not chewy at all, and also came with tentacles (my favorite). There was a yummy aïoli with a tang and some peppers. Just wish there was more... 7.9/10 For our entrees we got two filets, medium rare, one with Gorgonzola sauce and one with no sauce (the sauce comes on the side). We also got two bucatini dishes, one with and one without meat. The filets were perfectly cooked, usually every restaurant either overcooks or undercooks my steak but AV did it right. The Gorgonzola sauce was a rich cheesy sauce. The mashed potatoes were creamy and felt homemade. The carrots were alright, just sliced and cooked same with the green beans. 7.6/10 The bucatini was actually really good! So creamy and delicious, with a little spice. They both came with burrata (love), and the meat one came with a little amount of sausage pieces nothing recognizable. The spice wasn't unenjoyable and was tolerable to someone who can't handle spice. 8.6/10 Time for dessert, we got crème brûlée, the apple cake, and the sweet tart brown sugar lemon dessert. And some beef carpaccio because I wasn't feelin dessert. Crème brûlée, the top was perfectly crystallized. The inside was room temp, not cooled and not warm. 7.6/10 Apple cake, the cake came with a big ice cream scoop on top. Inside there was Apple slices like a pie. The cake was bread like and a good balance of the sweet ice cream and apple innards. 6.8/10 Sweet lemon brown sugar tart, this wasn't a favorite of the table but I didn't mind it. It was a cup like tart, with mouse or a cream in it. 5.7/10. Overall experience was pretty good, nothing bad stood out except for the cold bread and non social waitress interaction. The food was great, atmosphere was wow, and the outside was a beautiful walk to the car. The parking is a fend for yourself and there is a sign on the door to not use the private lot across the street. Overall experience....... 8.1/10 No pictures this time, was really hungry.

We arrived right at 4:00 p.m. on a Friday as they were opening, and everything from the service to the food exceeded our expectations. Our server, Michelle, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made excellent recommendations. They had several daily specials that all sounded amazing. We started with the cheese fries, which instantly brought back nostalgic memories, they were simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious. For our meals, my husband ordered the Crispy Chicken Salad, topped with two large hand-breaded chicken tenders tossed in mild sauce with blue cheese dressing. My daughter loved her 6-cut Red Pizza, which arrived perfectly crispy and full of flavor. I ordered the wings, fried to perfection and served with mild sauce and blue cheese. On Michelle's recommendation, my son went with the Breakfast Burger, and wow! It was enormous and incredibly juicy. Every bite was outstanding. If you're anywhere near the area, do not sleep on this place! Their slogan says "Almost Famous," but I honestly don't think they'll be "almost" for much longer. Get here before everyone else discovers this hidden gem, you'll be glad you did!
