10 Local Businesses To Help During The Coronavirus Crisis In Lancaster County, PA

Lancaster County is known for the Amish and PA Dutch culture. A lot of people tend to forget, though, about all of the amazing local businesses in Lancaster!

Because of its rich culture, Lancaster is a great hub for local businesses, and even though we are in a Covid state of mind right now, there's no reason to not go out there and support these great businesses.

1. Salon 717

Even though you can't actually get your hair cut during the shut down, you can still support local salons by buying gift cards. Salon 717 is a personal favorite of mine, and they specialize in just about everything. No matter what your hair type is, Salon 717 has a solution. They've teamed up with an online site during the pandemic where you can purchase gift cards to help them out!

2. Lancaster Brewing Company

Lancaster Brewing Company, or LBC, is not only a local restaurant but also a local business that sources their product locally. It's a two for one deal! Check out their menu to order something for pick-up!

3. The Brickerville House

Family owned and operated, The Brickerville House has something for everyone on their menu! They are offering pick-up as well as delivery within a small radius. Check out their menu to place an order.

4. Mojo Asian Cuisine

There's no way this quarantine can be survived without Chinese food, and for Lancaster residents, Mojo is the answer. After having to close initially due to not receiving certain products due to the shut down, they have found substitute sources and are once again, open for take out!

5. Fox Meadows Creamery

Let's be real: this pandemic calls for lots and lots of ice cream as a coping mechanism, and Fox Meadows is the answer to that dilemma. They're offering a drive-in style experience to pick up your order as well as delivery.

6. Lancaster Cupcake

Their cupcakes are works of art, and they're just as tasty as they look! Lancaster Cupcake is available for carry-out and delivery. Just look at those cupcakes on the menu!

7. Lititz Family Cupboard

This restaurant is the definition of comfort food in Lancaster County. They're offering pick-up right now during the pandemic! Check out what tasty foods they have to offer by checking out their menu page!

8. Shady Maple

If you come to Lancaster and haven't visited Shady Maple, have you really been to Lancaster? Typically, Shade Maple is the best smorgasbord and buffet around, but of course, those types of operations have had to halt during the coronavirus. They're offering a to-go menu, though, featuring some of their classics that you can order and pick-up!

9. The Bulls Head and General Sutter

While you can't go out and dine on their beautiful patio right now, you can still order some of their delicious food for pick-up!

10. Lanc.Care

OK, I get it, this isn't technically a small business, but they're doing amazing things to support Lancaster's small businesses during this time. With 190 small businesses and counting, you can support your favorite local business through a few simple clicks. You can purchase a gift card to any of the businesses listed on the site, a lot of which are currently unable to operate and bring in an income. Click here to go to Lanc.Care's site.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
