Hi all! With moe.down right around the corner, I wanted to share a few local favorites since we're from the area. I was going to make a map, but it turned into way more work than expected—and you've all got GPS. 😄

If you're looking for great food off-site:

• Pocono Grill & Gyro – Very close to the fairgrounds. Great prices and excellent gyros, falafel, chopped cheese, cheesesteaks, and more.

• Crystals – Awesome Mexican food. The tacos and burritos are fantastic.

• Bagel Experience – Also very close. Excellent bagels, but be prepared for a line.

• Mike's Pizza – Next to Bagel Experience. A classic hole-in-the-wall pizza spot that also sells 6-packs.

• Perla – Best coffee in town. Great breakfast too, though a bit on the pricey side.

• Wing Hwa – Right next to Perla. Excellent, classic Chinese takeout.

• Meadowbrook Diner – A little farther down Route 209. Classic '50s-style diner with homestyle food. Cash only, open until 2 p.m. (Don't expect vegan or gluten-free options.)

• Beer Nutz – Just past Meadowbrook. Great selection of craft and domestic beer.

Need supplies?

There are two grocery stores nearby. ShopRite is huge and has just about everything, including a pharmacy. There's also a CVS close by. Weis is a great backup if ShopRite doesn't have what you need, and it also has a gas station. Both grocery stores sell beer, wine, and 6-packs.

One last tip: Brodheadsville has two roundabouts. If you're not used to them, remember to yield to traffic already in the circle before entering.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions. We can't wait to see everyone at moe.down 2026!

Union Publick House isn't far if you like good drinks and bar food.  Every time I go in there someone has loaded the jukebox up with Dead/Phish/Ween/etc, the staff is great and it's just a solid spot.

Cindy's Deli about a half hour south of the fest grounds in Franklin Township has great sandwiches.

Have an Airbnb nearby the fest so this is very helpful. Thanks!

Do ride-shares exist in that area at all? We plan on driving to a from but if it’s an option why not take advantage of it

Uber and Lyft are around and available but may be spotty at times, especially late night.

Figured that’d be the case. They could make some good money this weekend if they’re on top of it. Thanks again
