Would you rather eat here…
or here for the same price?
Greetings from the sweetest place on Earth: Hershey, PA! I just wanted to take a minute to share a quick tip if you’re heading out to any major amusement parks or major attractions this summer…DO NOT EAT AT THE FOOD COURT! With a bit of research you will pretty much always be able to find a much more appealing alternative close by.
For instance, today we visited Chocolate World and sure enough, we finished right around lunchtime. Taking a peek at this menu from the food court, I realized quickly I would be spending $35 for lunch for myself and 3 Deal Kids (we have a Deal Niece along for the trip). In addition, parking at Chocolate World is free, but only for 3 hours, so I’d be out $12 bucks for parking as well if we had lunch there.
So, we hopped in the car for a two minute drive to the gorgeous, historic, Hotel Hershey and the Trevi 5 restaurant, which also had an amazing view over the entire valley and HersheyPark. Our lunch, which Deal Niece labeled “sophisticated”, featured my hand tossed pizza with proscuitto, figs, and gorgonzola and (the real hit) our ketchup being delivered in its own brand new room-service sized bottle. The bill? You guessed it…$35. Even with our $7 tip, I was still $5 ahead!
Where have you thought outside the food court lately?
