So the winner for the best E of York County is…
Eastern Market! This was primarily a suggestion from Jo, who regularly shops there, but I know several other people suggested it as well. Read more about the past of this market on Jim McClure’s York Town Square blog.
Now it’s time to start voting for your favorite F and to post comments with suggestions for the best G for next week’s poll, if you haven’t already. We need some suggestions!
My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!
Golden Plough Tavern – The Golden Plough Tavern, built in 1741, is the second of the two major restorations in the heart of downtown York. It is situated at its original location — lot #120 in the plan of York as surveyed and laid out by Thomas Cookson in 1741. Built originally as a tavern, it contains much of the original construction which is representative of a type almost non-existent today. It is believed that the early appearance of the Plough Tavern, once a freestanding structure before the erection of the General Gates House next door was the same as the building today.
I really wanted to go with Fitzkee’s, because fastnachts are not unique to York County. But the bottom line is that fastnachts are a bigger part of our culture/history/identity, so they win my vote.
I’m with Hubby. Particularly, since this is fastnacht month!!!! Only two more weeks to go.
