HOW’S THIS FOR A SCOOP?
A Cold Stone Creamery is in the works for 277 Mundy St., Wilkes-Barre, near the Arena Hub Plaza. Amanda Kubelis, a manager at the company’s Moosic location, informed Dish that Wilkes-Barre’s store should be open by September. I’m already salivating over my future Chocolate Devotion … and Germanchokolatekake and …
SETTING THE PACE

Plus, anyone who takes advantage of these special meals on these days lands a free $5 wagering voucher good for that evening’s live race. Call 1.888.WIN IN PA to make reservations or for more info.
FRANKLY, I’M THRILLED
Dish is happy to report that Coney Island (100 Cedar Ave., Scranton) reopened this week, 15 months after a devastating fire. You’ve been missed, Coney Island — and so have your famous Texas wieners. Welcome back!
ON THE FARM
I live for Thursdays in the summer because of the Farmers’ Market on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre, which kicks off Thursday, June 25 and wrapping up Nov. 19. I love seeing so many food vendors on the Square — especially my personal favorites Webby’s and The Gyro King. I wish they could be there every day!
This Thursday’s entertainment features Windfall Enterprises. For a complete schedule for the Farmer’s Market, which runs from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., visit www.wilkes-barre.pa.us.
IN THE GARDEN
I had the pleasure of eating at Eden, A Vegan Caf� (344 Adams Ave., Scranton) on Saturday. Don’t let the vegan part scare you; you won’t even miss meat because the food there is so good. I highly recommend the caf�’s drumsticks, which come with either barbecue or buffalo sauce. Be warned, though, because meatless sure doesn’t mean spice-less: the tasty buffalo version were so zesty, my lips went numb. Yum!
