Taqueria Guadalajara
One of our favorite local Mexican restaurants is Taqueria Guadalajara. It is the place that my husband and I consider to be the most authentic Mexican restaurant in the area. My husband is first generation Mexican American, and since we’ve been together, I’ve been lucky enough to be exposed to the delicious food and culture […]
Cardinal Coffee
I am always on the hunt for new coffee places around me, and I recently discovered Cardinal Coffee, which just opened in the summer of 2024. Located on the road travelling from Martinsburg to Shepherdstown (Route 45), it is a permanent coffee trailer located in the parking lot of a local home décor store. I […]
The Blue Moon Café
The Blue Moon Café holds a special place in my heart. During my time at Shepherd University, I probably passed by this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant every day. It was often a place I would swing by for a quick lunch, either to sit down with friends or to grab a to-go wrap. As I graduated […]
Mountaineer Meat Smokers
We recently learned through a recommendation from our Eastern Panhandle Foodies group on Facebook that a local barbecue restaurant serves breakfast. This is one of our favorite spots in the area, so we were excited to try something new there! Their breakfast menu was impressive; they offer everything from breakfast sandwiches, burritos, omelets, as well […]
A Lot O’ Gelato
When I heard that our area had a brand-new gelato place, I couldn’t wait to try it! I love ice cream, but especially gelato, and it’s typically hard to find. In fact, I think the only time I’ve ever had gelato was on vacation. So, I was eager to get my family out to try […]
Tacos EL DF
The other day my husband and I were craving street tacos, so we decided to try Tacos EL DF, an unassuming taqueria that claims to be home to real street tacos right off Middleway Pike in Inwood, West Virginia. My husband is a first generation Mexican American, and I’ve been lucky enough to try his […]
The Young American – A Martini Bar
We recently checked out the newest establishment located right in the heart of downtown Martinsburg, and it truly was an entire experience! From the start, you feel like you are transported into a different era. The first thing I noticed was the fancy attire of the bartenders. They were dressed in maroon blazers with black […]
The Final Cut – Date Night
After trying The Final Cut in the Hollywood Casino in Charles Town, WV for a special event, my husband and I were looking forward to going back for a date night. We finally had the chance to do that the other night, and it was an incredible experience! While we don’t go to fancy steakhouses […]
The Final Cut – Spanish Inspired Wine Dinner
We were recently invited to the Final Cut in the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town for their Spanish Inspired Wine Dinner, a seven-course dinner and wine pairing, consisting of foods and wines inspired by Spain. With a small baby at home, my husband and I were excited for a fancy date night, enjoying a variety […]
The Sycamore
A new beginning for a community staple My husband and I have been going to the Sycamore restaurant in Martinsburg, WV since they opened. Located at 1959 Golf Course Road, the first time we stepped through the doors we couldn’t get enough! One of the first things that struck me was the beautiful view of […]
