Harrisburg Pennsylvania
Trip Dates
May 24 - 26 2019
How I Got There
I was in New York for work the week before, so I took the Keystone train to Harribsurg from Penn Station.
Where I Stayed
For the first time in a decade, I stayed at a Hilton. This week was unlucky for me in terms of hotels because each hotel that I stayed at this week had massive elevator issues. The Hilton in Harrisburg was no exception. To add insult to injury, there were several weddings that weekend.
How I Got Around
Public transit is lacking, but luckily the downtown area is walkable. I mostly walked everywhere and took an occasional Uber.
