"To Do" before we say "I Do!"

Lackawanna Valley Heritage Trail

-Olive St. Trailhead near Scranton Running Co.

- Jimmy and Clare have done countless runs on the Heritage Trail. From 5K training in high school while the trail was being built to racing the annual Scranton Half Marathon, this trail is good for a mile stroll or a seven mile training run.

Lake Scranton

-Access Road off 307/Moosic St

-While fans of The Office might remember Lake Scranton as a beautiful destination for an office beach day, the reservoir is not actually open to swimmers or floating Sumo wrestlers. It does, however, have a perfect running trail for those looking for a scenic 3.5 mile loop.

Buddy Clarke's Tavern

-1604 Clay ave Dunmore

-Site of many date nights for the bride and groom. A great spot to get a feel for life in Dunmore and have a cold beer or cocktail.

Henry's on Clay

- 1602 Clay Ave, Dunmore

-Hip breakfast/lunch café directly next-door to Clarke's. Local celebrities are made on their daily Instagram stories.

Stirna's Bar and Restaurant

- 102 W. Market St. Scranton

- Have a bite to eat and a world famous Whiskey Sour at a North Scranton mainstay and one of the Bride's many employers. Jimmy has built relationships with much of staff because trying to get a drink from Clare is next to impossible.

Jack's Draft House

-802 Prescott St Scranton

-The couple's first date took place in a booth across from the bar. JDH is a great stop for a craft beer in a vintage atmosphere. Clare recommends the chicken sandwich.

AV Restaurant

-320 Penn ave Scranton

-For an upscale dining experience just blocks from the Hilton in Downtown check out AV. Classy cocktails and fine Italian-American cuisine await.

Bar Pazzo

-131 N Washington ave Scranton

-Another Italian dining option just steps from the Hilton, Bar Pazzo has delicious appetizers and pizzas that are great for sharing. Clare and Jimmy highly recommend the whipped ricotta.

Coney Island of Scranton

-100 Cedar Ave Scranton

-If, like the bride, you can't survive a travel weekend without a hot dog, head to Coney "under the bridge" for a Texas Weiner. Jimmy's order is two with onion and mustard, but visitors are encouraged to get the regular with everything.

The Garden Restaurant

-109 N Washington ave Scranton

- If you don't plan on ruining your day with an afternoon chili dog, The Garden offers Lebanese and Mediterranean dishes and a stronger variety of vegetarian/vegan options than the other recommended restaurants.

Scranton/Old Forge Pizza is also an essential part of the NEPA experience. If you want a tray for Friday night upon arrival or a couple cuts to keep in the mini-fridge to help on Sunday morning, here are some spots to keep in mind:

- Maroni's Pizza 1345 St Ann St, Scranton, PA 18504

- Mamma Mia Pizza 419 Poplar St, Scranton, PA 18509

- Pizza by Pappas 303 N Washington Ave, Scranton, PA 18503

- Buona Pizza 504 Lackawanna Ave, Scranton, PA 18503
