View Larger Map
As a convenience for our out-of-town guests who will be making the trip for our wedding, I've created a map on Google Maps. You can get to it by clicking here, by clicking "View Larger Map" above or by clicking the quick link on the sidebar.
That will lead you to the interactive map where you will find the church where the ceremony is being held, as well as the reception location, both of which are marked by the blue placemarks. You'll also find written, door-to-door directions from the church to the reception site.
I've also marked the Comfort Inn, where we've set aside a block of rooms for our out-of-town guests. Don't forget to make your reservations by February 29, 2008 in order to secure the discounted rate.
In order to get detailed driving directions to any of these locations, simply click the blue placemark and enter your starting location under the "Get directions" area of the bubble that pops up!
It's a super cool feature and we hope you find it helpful and useful.
Hershey - How To Get Here
Hershey - Where To Eat
Houlihan's
27 West Chocolate Avenue . Hershey, PA 17033 . 717-534-3110
Great place to have a nice dinner in a casual atmosphere. Highly recommended by the happy couple. Angie usually orders the Stuffed Chicken Breast, while Troy usually struggles to decide between the Chipolte-Smoked Chicken Enchiladas and the Chicken Parmesan.
The Chocolate Avenue Grill
114 West Chocolate Avenue . Hershey, PA 17033 . 717-835-0888
Excellent menu with fresh and creative sandwiches, wraps and dinners. Plus a great atmosphere! Closed Sundays.
Panera Bread
1178 Mae Street . Hummelstown, PA 17036 . 717-533-5242
A great spot for lunch. Panera also has a great selection of breads and bagels as well. And it's right next door to the Comfort Inn.
Jo-Jo's Pizza
1150 Cocoa Avenue . Hershey, PA 17033 . 717-534-2533
Great subs. Great pizza. This is our choice for best local pizza joint!
Cocoa Perk
1130 Cocoa Avenue . Hershey, PA 17033 . 717-312-1444
A local coffee house and cafe -- for all your caffeine fixes!
Hershey - What To Do
Neither of us grew up in the Hershey area. We both came here to take our first jobs, moving into mostly unfamiliar territory. However, in the 5+ years that we've both lived here, it has truly become home to us. Unless the Lord would move us, we can't imagine leaving this area. It's just such a neat little place. It's also the perfect place to visit! If you're coming from out of town and have time, why not stay an extra day and make a long weekend out of it? Here are a couple ideas to get you started on things to see and do!Hershey's Chocolate World
Open year round, this is great fun for people of all ages (and we're not just saying that)! Learn how chocolate is made on the Chocolate Tour, take in a 3D show, visit a huge candy store and take a trolley ride around the town of Hershey. Chocolate World also has various cafes and a food court -- all in one spot! Spend as much time here as you'd like. You could spend an entire afternoon here. But if you're pressed for time, you can take the Chocolate Tour and visit the candy shop in just over an hour.
Cocoaplex Cinema
1150 Cocoa Avenue . Hershey, PA . (717) 312-1300
Looking for something to do after the reception -- this is the closest movie theatre. Oh...and if you go, check out Fire Alley next door -- it's sorta where we had our first date.
Evangelical Free Church of Hershey
If you're looking for a church service to attend on Sunday morning after the wedding, may we suggest our church home -- Hershey Free.
Here are some other ideas, albeit all slanted toward Hershey Entertainment & Resorts owned operations -- but let's be honest, they pretty run the town anyway!
Hershey - Where To Stay
There are a million places to stay in and around the Hershey area -- everything from a quaint bed & breakfast, to the high-end Hershey lodges, to every chain hotel you can name. So we took the pressure off of our guests by carefully looking into and selecting the best value (based on service, comfront, perks, price and ratings by previous guests). May we suggest...
