I visited this small town in Carbon County - Jim Thorpe, PA for the second time. If you have not heard about it, Jim Thorpe is called as the Switzerland of America. This town swells with the Victorian architecture. The Scenic Rail road in this yesteryear coal mining town is awesome in Fall. A nearby smaller town has a nice little lake called "Mauch Chunk Lake" with a beautiful white-sand beach. The Lehigh river offers an awesome white-water rafting. And along the river trail, there is a wonderful opportunity to do mountain biking. If you don't have your own bike, you can rent if from there.

And yes, for the food, I found two places interesting. One is just outside the Lehigh Scenic RailRoad station - a small shop with bakery goods. And The Broadway Grill (And "Underground" pub) on the Broadway is really good.

This place is located around 110 miles west of Newark NJ - on I287.

If you are on the East coast/Tristate area, have not visited Jim Thorpe, I would recommend you visit there.
