edicated to delivering the kind of menu the area craves, Baileys Rib & Steakhouse; Smugglers Cove Seafood & Steaks and Vocelli Pizza listen to customers creating a variety of scrumptious items without skimping on savings. Owner Chris Sarajian comments, “We’ve worked really hard to add some new value items without compromising quality.” Adding, “Baileys’ menu reflects what customers really wanted in Mt. Pocono.” Catering to practically every taste with price points guests can really sink their teeth into; make succulent steaks, finger licking good baby back ribs, big burgers and
sandwiches all that more pleasing! Throw in ten different varieties of beer on tap for pitchers out on the new fire pit deck opens doors to enjoy comfortable evenings outdoors with fine food and friends. Considering seafood as a lunch or dinner choice? Minor modifications to Smugglers’ creations have resulted in more fresh fish applications, a colossal collection of combination platters and the Raw Bar featuring over seven types of clams and oysters daily. Taking a “fresh” approach all over the menu, Castaways Lounge found its niche introducing a summer drink assortment filled with fresh pressed drinks with fruits infused right into the cocktails.
Enjoy the tastes of Vocelli’s with a special promotion on gourmet pizzas to kick start summer entertaining ideas. A special price of only $12.99 finds ten unique pizza options; from Meat Magnifico, Chicken Carbonara and Buffalo Chicken, to Spring Veggie even Hawaiian. Kinda makes tryin’ to find something everyone will like easy as pie, doesn’t it? Whether wanting an intimate indoor dining experience, gathering friends for appetizing outdoor drinks and delicacies, or grabbing something to take home; good taste comes with the territory in these Mt. Pocono and Tannersville hotspots.

cuts his Pocono Lake store has been creating fans of this flavorful fare for more than 40 years. Alongside wife Debbie, Marc describes a major pitfall in grilling delicacies like ostrich tenderloin, wild boar burgers and venison strip loin with less than 3% fat cautioning, “Don’t overcook them as they will dry out.” Recommending, “Simple is better,” he strongly opposes marinating before cooking as, “It masks the flavor,” suggesting instead a touch of extra virgin olive oil and light coating of kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper, along with granulated garlic before searing.

oulder Field, located in Hickory Run State Park, is a National Natural Landmark and true scenic wonder. This vast field of astounding stone is actually remains of the last ice advance. While over 15,000 years ago such rocky terrain was common throughout the Northeast; gradual weathering and climate changes have led to the coverage or elimination of many boulder fields. Only in special places, such as Hickory Run State Park, do these astounding formations remain.
Boulder Field’s surprisingly flat mass measures 400 feet wide, 1,800 feet long and approximately 10 feet deep hosting an amazing assortment of shapes and sizes. A potpourri of loosely packed red sandstone remnants range in size from a few inches to 25 feet long! A trend of angular in the east side, transitions to more rounded shapes in the west end of the field.
An invigorating exploration, Hickory Run State Park is located in Carbon County at the foothills of the Pocono Mountains. Boulder Field is easily accessible by Boulder Field Road or the scenic 3.5 mile Boulder Field hiking trail.
To learn more about this unique natural wonder, call the Hickory Run State Park Office at (570) 443-0400 or check out www.visitpaparks.com
