There's kind of a neat old hotel in Wyalusing you could stay in, I don't know what sort of accommodation you'd find in Meshoppen but regarding Meshoppen BE CAREFUL OF THE 35 MPH ZONE. They have like one cop and he always seems to be working and gives zero breaks.

If you come into Wellsboro for lunch unfortunately the Red Lantern House is closed Mondays but Becks Bistro is decent. Another consideration - the Burning Barrel out at Rt 6 and Colton Point Road.

We picked Meshoppen because of its location. Its the furthest point from Cleveland in our route. In fact, it looks like we’re staying outside Tunkhannock instead, found a cheap hotel there.

THANK YOU love the speeding ticket advice. They’re the bain of my existence.

As for food, local yes yes! Me and my brother are the opposite of picky eaters. But if we’re looking for ‘local’ cuisine, what do you recommend? I guess it can be any restaurant on PA6 between coudersport and meshoppen!

Well, you've got Vinny's or the A & W West End Grill in Coudersport that are both good. Unfortunately the Burning Barrel is not open on Monday, in Wellsboro you've got Becks Bistro and Wellsboro House... Some of the restaurants in town don't do lunch. I don't want to be negative about my less favorite places in town but there are other options that are meh or nothing special (or, if you want both, we have a Pizza Hut). There are pizza joints and sub shops that are ok. I can't speak to the quality of the places in Wysox or Troy because anytime I'm passing through either we're on the way to my in laws and don't need to stop to eat, but I do hear good things about Oliver's in Wysox.

We went to Vinnys tonight! It was actually super good. We saw they had a 'vinnys sampler' where you choose 5 random entrees and get two portions of each... mind blowing, we honestly don’t have that in Ohio much. It was crazy good. Got wings with 'garbage' sauce too. We also found that the Dandy marts (which we’ve never seen before) have pretty good food. Solid so far! We’re also staying in that hotel, its a cool room, we love the old school vibe, cable tv, and tomorrow onto Sullivan! Thanks for your advice :) we're happy to have taken it!

Ah, Meshoppen. Got my first and only speeding ticket there. When the police officer came up to my window, he said he “knew” I saw him at the beginning of the 35 mph and didn’t slow down (I didn’t see him). He told me where he had been sitting, allegedly, as idk he could have been lying. And he was willing to die on that hill, that I clearly looked at him and locked eyes and didn’t slow down. I had no idea what he was talking about and it just made him angrier the more I was honest with him.

Ugh. That same guy alleged that I was going 70mph UPHILL out of town. In a shitty state 2001 Dodge Caravan my company bought at the Harrisburg auto auction. Not if I stood on the gas pedal, pal. Then he went on to remind me that it was Halloween and there is "a lot of drunk driving". I'm in professional clothes with a briefcase on the seat beside me in a minivan. At 2 in the afternoon.

We’re going to Meshoppen tomorrow. How recent was this? Sounds like I need to be careful either way, I do not want a ticket at all 😵 but I figure its worth seeing another little town. They’re very cool to drive through :)
