This 'Saturday Night Special' is a little less gun smoke but just as much flash bang.
Rustic and contemporary design elements create the restaurant’s simple, yet stunning space.

Lime-washed exposed brick and mid-century modern brass chandeliers add both character and depth to the 70-seat restaurant, while intimate nooks give it a romantic charm, effortlessly chic for any culinary celebration.

The Ultimate East Coast Train Crawl With Your Crew
The East Coast is a blast, and unlike its western counterpart, it’s a whole lot easier to sight-see by train. With smaller states, you can bounce from one big city to another rather timely and seamlessly by rail—and there’s something classic about traveling in such fashion. So we put together an extensive guide for you and your friends, with plenty of options for eating, drinking, staying, and shopping while on the Great American Rail Trip. We figured such an adventure would look something like this: Washington, DC → Pennsylvania → New Jersey → New York City via booking with Amtrak's multi-city ticket. Check it out and then better get a move on. By: Jake Kilroy
