Everything Else

If you only go one place in downtown Lancaster, make it Central Market. The produce, meats, dairy and baked goods are local, as are the vendors. Many are Amish. It's an experience you should not miss.

Lancaster's first distillery specializes in rye whiskey. The space is very Brooklyn, the rye is very strong, and the bartenders are very knowledgeable. Hidden in an alley, but worth the effort.
