It’s that time of year again—the reveal of our annual reader-voted Best Of surveys. The time of year to celebrate all of the amazing businesses that make this region so wonderful. And after more than a year of being cooped up inside, I’m sure we’re all ready to get back out there (safely) and support our local favorites. To see who you voted as the Best of Harrisburg, turn to page 22, and start making your checklist of pit stops for the summer.

June also marks our Father’s Day edition, so we’ve curated some gift ideas on page 10 that are sure to put a smile on dad’s face. Cooking for dad this Father’s Day? Fire up that grill and get cooking with recipes from Cooking with the Pros’ Jen Heasley on page 18.

June also marks the start of summer which for me, as a Maryland native, means seafood season. Camp Hill’s latest resident, Watershed Pub, is transforming the seafood game in the Susquehanna Valley with their fresh shucked oysters, steamed mussels, refreshing ceviche, and more. Go inside the kitchen on page 16.

Crisp, Clean, and Oh So Flavorful

Harrisburg's KRISPwtr is changing the flavored water game one sip at a time

A convenience store is more than just a place to watch the world go by. For Sean Banks, it was where he did his market research.

"I used to be a store manager for Rutter's convenience stores, and I was constantly filling up the water coolers," Banks says. With an eye for trends and a knack for creativity, he saw his chance. Banks asked customers questions about why they liked flavored water as he rang them up, but he noticed that a lot of the options weren't as healthy as they seemed.

He eventually gathered enough demographic data to make a move.

By 2019, Banks went all in on his business: KRISPwtr—a Harrisburg company slinging artfully flavored spring water with no artificial ingredients or sugar.

KRISPwtr products cover the bases.

The Flavas line offers a subtle flavor splash with concoctions like strawberry pineapple and organic blueberry lemon. The Fruit-ish line, including coconut and watermelon flavors, is more of a full-flavored beverage, but "you can drink it after playing basketball or working out and it doesn't sit on your stomach weird," Banks says.

This isn't Banks' first business move.

As a kid, he printed and sold his own t-shirt designs. He once had a denim line that sold in 40 stores as far west as Chicago. "It taught me a lot," Banks says. "But it kind of got me ready for where I'm at today."

A native Pennsylvanian, Banks knew he wanted to source his water as locally as possible. His spring water comes straight from the Locust Mountains at six parts-per-million. Banks says that's "one of the cleanest spring waters out of the source that you can get in North America."

Being a fresh player in the beverage sector has its obstacles, and Banks says that's only emphasized as a Black person. "I'm an anomaly," he says about his role in the industry. Shortly after

American Diabetes Association tells us that the rate of diabetes in Black people is 11.7%, whereas it's 7.5% for White people. Food deserts play a major role in this, but so does advertising. According to the Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity at University of Connecticut, Black teens view 119% more food ads than White teens, half of which come from fast food companies. That's why Banks says, "Our mission is to give two percent of our profits back to organizations that aid in fighting diabetes and obesity in underserved communities."

Banks is generous with his profit in more ways than one. He intentionally misses out on some revenue so he can keep his prices below the competition. At $1.29– $1.89 per bottle, he says customers can get a bag of chips and a KRISPwtr for $2.50.

"That may not be the healthiest thing for you, but at least you're not getting a bag of chips and a soda," he says.

Banks knows little things add up, which is why KRISPwtr packaging is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. He says, "We need to do our part and try to reduce the plastic intake and the waste."

For Banks and his family, building KRISPwtr has been nothing if not worth it. As for his favorite flavor, Banks says, "it's like asking what kid is your favorite." But it didn't take long for him to settle on grape from the Fruit-ish line. "It reminds me so much of when I was a kid drinking grape Kool-Aid," he reminisces, "though without all the sugar to go along."

KRISPwtr is now in stores, including 155 Giant Food Store locations across Pennsylvania and spots in all five New York City boroughs. You can also find KRISPwtr on their website and Amazon store.

KRISPwtr krispwtr.com

the police killing of George Floyd, Banks had an encounter at his warehouse alongside his wife and two daughters.

"We're wrapping up these pallets of water," Banks says, "and we notice a car driving by and staring at us."

Next thing he knew, the cops arrived and questioned his presence, informing him they got a call he was stealing stuff out of his very own warehouse. Banks complied and provided all his information, but not before trepidation sank in for his family.

Despite oppression, Banks has pushed his way through in the healthy beverage arena.

As for what makes health so important for Banks, it's two-fold. There's his mother, who was diagnosed with diabetes around the time he started KRISPwtr.

"We knew we had to make a shift for her," Banks says.

Then there's his community. Banks understands the effects that systemic racism can have on health. The JUNE 2021 | SUSQUEHANNA STYLE

The Guy’s Guide to Self-Care

BY M. Diane McCormick

That thing in the sky is the sun. Those places where people congregate are called bars. As you get reacquainted with life outside the home, step out looking and feeling your best with these post-pandemic self-care tips.

DRESS LIKE A SWELL Sustainable vintage fashions get better with age. Look casual but sharp in khaki chinos or broken-in jeans, a classic OCBD (that’s Oxford cloth button-down), and denim trucker jacket, says Andy Kintzi, owner of The Midtown Dandy, Harrisburg (themidtowndandy.com). For workfrom-home ease without the sweatpants, try Vietnam War-era OG-107 sateen fatigue trousers, and roll up the sleeves of an iconic “Urban Cowboy” pearl-snap western shirt that’s as comfy and cool as a t-shirt.

CHANGE THE NIBBLES Don’t overhaul. Start small. Completely upending your diet is a recipe for failure. It’s the little changes that last, advises Erin Dunleavy, registered dietitian for Weis Markets (weismarkets.com). Swap steak for seafood night. Choose a handful of nuts over that bag of chips.

Add a side salad to dinner. Vary your protein regimen with plant-based sources. Fight disease with fiber, heart-healthy fats, and vitamin-packed foods.

“These simple changes can eventually become lifelong habits,” says Dunleavy.

CHECKING UP Guys, your life expectancy is trending downward. Regular physical exams, starting around 40 years old, can reveal those undetected notes of heart disease or cancer that ravaged your dad and uncles.

Depending on your age, habits, and family history, exams can screen for high cholesterol, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, and—if you’ve ever smoked tobacco—abdominal aortic aneurysm and lung cancer, says Dr. Matthew Silvis, family and community medicine physician at Penn State Health (pennstatehealth.org).

AHHHH, SPA! It’s time for women to spill their secret. Spa treatments rock! Services customized for men increase circulation, invigorate muscles, and soothe skin worn down by shaving and sweat. Male guests of The Spa At The Hotel Hershey and MeltSpa by Hershey love their deep tissue and hot stone massages, says Director Shian Wang (chocolatespa. com). Pedicures and body treatments should be scheudled too.

Recommended: Facial, massage, body treatment, and pedicure, every four to six weeks. Manicure, every two weeks.

HAIR TODAY Longer hair, good. The inexplicable return of mullets, bad. The popular crop cut that’s long on top and short on the sides gives the best of both worlds. Then, switch out the gel for texture powder, for that slightly messy lift. A long beard is still trending, but shape it to your face. “It can be groomed but also rustic without being too manicured,” says Justin Lamey, barber at Didi & Smiling John’s, Lancaster (didiandsmilingjohns.com).

HOME GAME Enjoying that workout from home but miss the pro equipment? Build a home gym, with these five steps from York Barbell (yorkbarbell.com).

1 Designate an unused space.

2 Set your budget. Quality isn’t cheap, so start with the must-haves you’ll use the most.

3 Measure, to make sure your purchases fit the space.

4 Watch for sales on the additional stuff you want.

5 Add motivation by putting workouts in your weekly schedule.

FOODIE FINDS

At the intersection of a local pub, a craft brewery, and a fresh seafood restaurant sits The Watershed Pub— The Millworks owner Joshua Kesler's newest farm to table experience.

The name intentionally comes from the Chesapeake Watershed, forging a direct connection between restaurant and food source. The best part? It’s right here on Market Street in Camp Hill.

It is the first pub in Camp Hill since prohibition, making its historical location in a late 1700s farmhouse even more fitting. With an interest in historical preservation, Kesler catered to the original structure of the building while undertaking a sizable renovation to accommodate a modern industrial kitchen. The space offers ample indoor and outdoor dining, bar seating on two floors, and a beautiful wrap-around porch.

Camp Hill’s newest sustainable seafood restaurant: Watershed Pub

BY ERIKA FIRESTONE PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF WATERSHED PUB

Camp Hill is the perfect location due to Kesler’s personal ties as a town resident for almost a decade. The location also supports his sustainable business model, thanks to the walkability of the area. While the hope is that customers will continue to drive in from all over Central Pennsylvania and beyond, Kesler notes, “I want people to view this as their neighborhood pub—to kick up their feet after work with some happy hour oysters and half-off drafts, and walk home feeling satisfied.”

The ambience itself is meant to emulate a friendly neighborhood environment for all who enter. Having studied German in college, Kesler uses gemutlich to describe the desired feel of The Watershed Pub, explaining, “It’s an important word in German culture. Without direct translation, it essentially means the light is right, the atmosphere is right, the beer is right, the friend is right.”

Sustainability is at the very heart of each of Kesler’s establishments. This is not just because it is a trending topic, but “because of how pressing human impact on the environment and how

massive our individual footprint is,” he explains.

He has always been an environmentalist. As a college student, he recalls starting a campaign to rid the mess hall of plastics. Emerging into the food and beverage scene from real estate, he saw the importance of integrating ethical consumption into the Greater Harrisburg restaurant scene.

By raising awareness and offering a responsible seafood dining experience, The Watershed Pub is a direct response to Central Pennsylvania's historical impact on the Chesapeake Watershed.

Ties between the Susquehanna Valley and the Chesapeake run deep, stretching back over one hundred years. When Kesler purchased The Millworks in downtown Harrisburg, he found oyster shells all over the floor, and a neighbor confirmed that they were brought in fresh every day for urban consumption. With overfishing posing a serious threat to waters around the globe, The Watershed Pub creates a menu that considers seasonality of fish (and recovered populations such as swordfish), monitors fish populations through resources like the Monterey

Bay Watch, and sources directly from sustainable, ethically harvested fisheries.

The result of monitoring the local footprint on the Chesapeake is a diverse and delicious menu that may not be quite what visitors are expecting, straying from traditional crab legs and shrimp to options like Morroccan spiced monkfish cooked over a wood fired grill and marinated afterwards to sustain flavor. Kesler’s personal favorite menu item is the Swordfish; served with stone ground raw milk cheddar grits, wilted kale, tomatoes, roasted kennett square mushrooms, and malt vinegar beurre blanc.

Po’ Boys are the most popular menu item, inspired by Kesler’s trip to 167 Raw in Charleston, South Carolina. Customers can choose between hand-dredged chicken, catfish, clam, or day boat scallops sandwiched in a hoagie roll with bay spice, coleslaw, pickled mustard seed remoulade, butter lettuce, and tomato. They’re meant to pair perfectly with a lighter beer like a crisp lager.

There is no shortage of excellent craft beer at the Watershed Pub, thanks to its direct connection to The Millworks right across the river. With a rotating fourteen beers on tap ranging from more traditional pilsners to trending IPA’s, there’s certain to be something for everyone. Maintaining its locally sourced menu, wine and spirits are available from strictly Pennsylvania sources.

Sunday brunch takes place every weekend from 10am - 3pm, featuring more family friendly options like Chicken and Waffles or French Toast, alongside innovative selections such as Smoked Cod Eggs Benedict. The Cheesesteak Hash is a crowd favorite. Made up of crispy smashed potatoes, shaved strip steak, caramelized onion, cheddar sauce, pickled peppers, green onion, and a sunny side up egg. Pair with a Mimosa or Espresso Martini off of their brunch cocktail menu to end the weekend on a good note. Whether you’re drawn in by the history, the food, or the mission, there are so many reasons to transport your taste buds to the bayside this summer with a visit to The Watershed Pub.

By Karen Hendricks

It’s the great American pastime: Baseball returns to diamonds everywhere this summer. What the pandemic canceled last year is made sweeter by its return in 2021. So take me out to the ballpark—I’m ready for peanuts and Cracker Jack, hot dogs and cold beer, for cheering and jeering, for mascots and ballcaps.

Here in the Susquehanna Valley, we’ve got three hometown teams more-than-ready to play ball. Which one is your fave? We love a good rivalry, so grab this guide and your glove—and get ready to cheer for the hometown team you love. It’s Americana at its best—baseball’s back!

York REVOLUTION

ATLANTIC LEAGUE OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL, NORTH DIVISION

Eleven Revs have made the majors, including Corey Thurman—whose #35 was retired by the Revs and returned to live in the area.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Just call them the Revs. The name is a nod to York’s colonial history (the city served as the U.S. capital during the Revolutionary War, in 1777-78) as well as its role in the Industrial Revolution (as home base to major manufacturers).

HOME BASE

URMAN ) COREY TH CHIN G WIN S (66 AL L-T IME PIT 7) ST RIKE OU TS (66

PeoplesBank Park features the “Arch Nemesis,” or left field wall, that’s the highest fence in professional baseball at 37 feet, eight inches— six inches higher than the Green Monster at Boston’s Fenway Park. “It’s a lively downtown scene—it’s the place to be in York on a summer’s night,” says Darrell Henry, Revs playby-play announcer.

THAT’S THE TICKET

WHAT MAKES MIN OR LEAGUE BASEBALL GAMES GREAT?

One of the things I like the most is seeing that season story unfold before your eyes— and the biggest thing of all is what it means to society this year, after not having it for a year.

– DARRELL HENRY

Downtown

Ticket options range from lawn seating to a state-of-the-art sky box, a kids’ playground, picnic seating, plus unique hospitality spaces including one behind home plate. Most ticket prices are $9-20.

MASCOT MAYHEM

“Downtown is a big blue thing—we think he’s a bird,” says Henry. “He’s fun-loving and kind of a prankster, similar to the Phillie Phanatic.”

But wait, there’s more! Revolutionary-era character Cannonball Charlie fires a cannonball to start of every game, to mark every homerun and home win. There’s also a team dog: Following the retirement of beloved Golden Retriever Boomer, the Revs introduce Siberian Husky, “Blue,” this season.

STEP UP TO THE PLATE: BALLPARK FOODS

SCOUTING REPORT: REVS TO WATCH Pitcher Casey Lawrence, a hometown favorite and Delone Catholic grad, is a former Major Leaguer “coming back to York, to try to get back to the majors,” says Henry.

Darian Sanford, center fielder, is one of the top stolen base leaders in Atlantic League history. “He did all of that in Lancaster and signed with us during the off-season, jumping sides on the rivalry—and at one time he played for Harrisburg as well,” Henry notes.

“Definitely our chicken tender and fries are #1,” says Sarah Dailey, Revs marketing manager.

The stand “Love Me Tenders” offers 10 different dipping sauces, plus a grand slam of seasonings and toppings for fries. BBQ and soft pretzel sandwiches are also popular. Local brews include Hanover’s Sign of the Horse Brewery.

SCOUTING REPORT: 'STORMERS TO WATCH

Lancaster

“We are probably most excited about the prospect of outfielder Blake Gailen’s first home run of the season, which would be his 100th as a ‘Stormer,” says Collins. “It’s also worth noting that Gailen and pitcher Jared Lakind are both members of Team Israel that will be participating in the Olympic Games in Tokyo this summer.”

BARNSTORMERS

ATLANTIC LEAGUE OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL, NORTH DIVISION WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Nicknamed the ’Stormers, the term “barnstormer” is a throwback to Lancaster County’s heritage—on the baseball field as well as its agricultural fields. During the 1900s, numerous exhibition games were held on Lancaster County farmland, when teams would “barnstorm” between towns to play games.

HOME BASE

PeoplesBank Park features the “Arch Nemesis.”

Clipper Magazine Stadium was voted Baseball Digest’s Best Independent Ballpark in 2020. The stadium’s Broken Bat Craft Beer Deck features beer, wine and spirits from more than 20 local establishments.

Minor league baseball puts an emphasis on the pre-game, in-game, and postgame entertainment to make the experience as memorable as can be and ensure that every fan feels special.

In 2021, the Barnstormers are launching their family 4-pack, which includes four game tickets and four food vouchers. Storm Force tickets packages, for kids ages 12 and under, include a backpack, T-shirt, six dated tickets, and six undated tickets. Meanwhile, the Silver Stormers package is designed for fans who are 55+ and includes a T-shirt and tickets to every Tuesday home game.

Harrisburg SENATORS

Rascal

DOUBLE-A NORTHEAST LEAGUE, AFFILIATE OF MLB’S WASHINGTON NATIONALS WHAT’S IN A NAME?

The “Senators” refers to Harrisburg’s distinction as the state capital, whose lime green dome can be spotted from the City Island ballpark.

Harrisburg has a long history of being home to the Senators—the first baseball team to bear this name played in 1920s.

HOME BASE

Picturesque FNB Field is located on City Island, Harrisburg, in the middle of the Susquehanna River.

HOMETOWN SUPPORT: GOING TO BAT FOR THE COMMUNITY

“We work with approximately 150 sponsors each season,” says Randy Whitaker, Senators’ vice president and general manager. “First National Bank is our stadium naming rights partner and a tremendous overall partner. We often work together on community projects, like donating time at the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.”

Vladimir Guerrero, Eastern League MVP 1996, American League MVP 2004, named to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018.

Stephen Strasburg went on to earn World Series MVP in 2019.

Bryce Harper was named National League Rookie of the Year in 2012 and National League MVP in 2015.

SCOUTING REPORT: SENATORS TO WATCH “The Nationals have several standout stars that are likely to spend time at FNB Field this season,” says Whitaker.

“Right-handed pitchers Cade Cavalli and Jackson Rutledge are both highly-ranked and only a season or two from contributing in Washington.”

It’s not about the final score—it’s about taking a picture with Rascal, getting a cool giveaway item, watching your kids’ faces light up as they watch the fireworks in the same skies that you did with your parents or grandparents.

– JESS MOYER

Most Senators tickets range from about $13-19. “One of our biggest focuses is making a day at the ballpark affordable for anyone and everyone,” says Steph Pagliaro, communications manager. This season, the Senators are offering flexible voucher packs in sets of 10, 30, or 60.

Meanwhile, season ticket holders enjoy perks such as early entry.

MASCOT MAYHEM

Keep an eye out for Rascal’s “unpredictable” antics, says Pagliaro. “He’s always being silly, and you don’t know what he’s going to do next.”

STEP UP TO THE PLATE: BALLPARK FOODS

“When fans think of food at FNB field, many of them instantly think of [longtime Harrisburg eatery] The Spot. Our unique hot dog stand offers tons of different toppings that you’ve probably never heard of before,” Pagliaro says.

“A lot of fans also love our Grrrounder fries

FIVE THINGS

EAT & DRINK

When the summer weather gets hot, sometimes the best thing to have is a way to cool down. What’s better than a sweet, ice cream treat? Milkshakes are the perfect summer snack, giving you a chance to cool down without it melting all over your hands. Check out these local hotspots for an ice cold treat.

5 mouthwatering milkshake spots

BY KATELIN MCDOUGALD

SWEET WILLOWS CREAMERY 2812 E Prospect Rd, York, PA | sweetwillows.com

Fine ingredients and fresh ice cream are staples at Sweet Willows Creamery. Founded in 2003, they have served ice cream and frozen yogurt to the people of York for nearly 20 years. There’s freshly made ice cream every day, including dairy free, vegan, and no sugar options. Turn any of these delicious ice creams into a frozen milkshake. Try a traditional flavor like cookies n’ cream or shake things up with the wild Maine blueberry. With so much on the menu, it’s almost impossible to pass up this ice cream shop.

MAX’S EATERY 38 W King St, Lancaster, PA | maxseatery.com

Enjoy a milkshake with your meal at Max’s Eatery. Choose your favorite among several mixes on the menu. Max’s combines ice cream with different flavored syrups and even pieces of other desserts to make some of the most unique shakes around. But, there’s a twist—if a regular milkshake isn’t your style, consider one of their alcoholic shakes instead, which are bound to be something unforgettable. No matter your age, you’re sure to get a kick out of their sweet treats. We suggest going for a whole meal and pairing your favorite shake with a large juicy burger.

HALF PINT CREAMERY 5705 Hanover Rd, Hanover, PA | 1101 Biglerville Rd, Gettysburg, PA 400 Lincoln Way E, New Oxford, PA | halfpintcreamery.com

Half Pint Creamery is an Adams County staple. Since 2013, the creamery has expanded to three locations around the area, so it’s hard to miss such a great place. Many of their ice creams are inspired by fan favorite candies and cereals like Almond Joys or Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Bring your furry friend along too and treat them to one of their pupcakes made with dog friendly ingredients.

HANNA’S ICE CREAM SHOPPE 321 Bridge St, New Cumberland, PA | hannasicecreamshoppe.com

Step into Hanna’s Ice Cream Shoppe for a blast from the past. This 1950’s style ice cream parlor is sure to satisfy that sweet tooth. You can find both hand dipped and soft serve ice cream here, perfect for your very own delectable milkshake. As you sip on your frozen refreshment, enjoy the friendly and open atmosphere that is sure to leave you smiling when you go to leave.

FOX MEADOWS CREAMERY 2475 W Main St, Ephrata, PA | foxmeadowscreamery.com

For a new, invigorating milkshake, stop in at Fox Meadows Creamery. You’ll find farm fresh ice cream here, along with only the best fresh, local, and natural ingredients. Spice things up, and get one of their roasted milkshakes which replaces the milk with freshly roasted espresso. It’s sure to give you a caffeine boost to get through the rest of the afternoon.
