Bridgeview Bed and Breakfast

Today is National Hot Chocolate Day!

Each year on January 31, National Hot Chocolate Day warms up people across the country by celebrating the timeless cold-weather beverage.
In America, we often use the terms hot chocolate and hot cocoa interchangeably. However, the two beverages are different.
Cocoa vs Hot Chocolate
We make hot cocoa with cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and sugar.
We make hot chocolate, the thicker, more flavorful beverage from ground chocolate containing cocoa butter. Hot chocolate has also been around longer than hot cocoa.. This thicker, creamier beverage offers medicinal benefits for stomach ailments, and there are other health benefits to drinking hot chocolate. Cocoa contains significant amounts of antioxidants that may help prevent cancer. It has also been shown that the cocoa beans help with digestion. The flavonoids that are found in the cocoa also have a positive effect on arterial health.

A Slice of History ~ Subway Cafe, Harrisburg PA

When visiting Central PA, it's a must to try a slice of history at Subway Cafe . Locals love their hand-thrown pizza, featuring a famous super-skinny crust, fresh toppings, plenty of cheese and topped (Yes, Topped!) with a layer of homemade sauce. It is not your typical pizza pie!!! While eating their pizza, get a 32 ounce fishbowl of beer to wash it down!! Unique is an understatement for the Subway Cafe!!
Donato, Sr. and Liana Giusti opened the Subway Cafe in July of 1948. Now, thousands have stopped at the two-story brick building with its tall neon sign for the old-world pizzas. The couple took over the restaurant at 1000 Herr St. and unknowingly built a landmark! 78 years later and it's still going strong!!!!
Another unique place in Central PA is The Bridgeview Bed & Breakfast. We are located on the banks of the Susquehanna River overlooking northern Harrisburg, the Blue Mountains and the famous Rockville Bridge. At the Bridgeview you are guaranteed a clean, comfortable room with a private bath, WiFi, individual A/C, and a delicious breakfast to start your day off right! You can sit on our deck or indoor sitting room and enjoy the fantastic views of Rockville Bridge, Susquehanna River, Blue Mountains and wildlife that surround our establishment!
