Fine Dining in Carlisle, PA

As a former mayor of Carlisle, I always enjoyed talking about the diverse and wondeful restaurants in our community. In fact, I can't believe the topic was not mentioned of the PHMC historical marker.

Remember: The Sunnyside . . . Rillo's ... Should I go back any farther? Okay one more ... the dining room at the Molly Pitcher Hotel. These are still remembered fondly and foodly (new word) by thousands of area residents and visitors.

Here's a list of 10 current establishments:

• 1794 The Whiskey Rebellion , at Comfort Suites, 10 South Hanover Street
• Momma Spriggs Restaurant , 160 York Road
• Cafe Bruges , 16 North Pitt Street
• Rustic Tavern , 823 Newville Road
• Market Cross Pub & Brewery , 113 North Hanover Street
• Issei Noodle , 54 West High Street
• Hamilton Restaurant, 53 W. High Street
• B&L Caribbean Restaurant, 10 W. Pomfret Street
• Fiddler’s Bar and Grille, 1 Mayapple Drive
• North Hanover Grill, 37-39 North Hanover St.

Would you please let me know which one (1) is your favorite? Along with the results, I plan to speak with the owners of each to share -- in their own words -- what makes their eating establishments so special.

Thanks, Kirk Wilson, former mayor of Carlisle, PA
