Are there good breakfast joints around those creeks?

It's been so long since I've been to those places I couldn't tell you (and to be honest, I'm never sure I fished Darby Creek). I used to get a good breakfast on the Wissahickon at the Valley Green Inn before the place turned upscale. Croydon Diner was the only place I had breakfast near the Neshaminy. Nothing special. However, Goodnoe's Dairy was the place to get ice cream near the Neshaminy. It is now closed. They used to have a 'Pigs Dinner' which was an amalgamation of about 10 different ice cream flavors, topped with a fresh banana and strawberries. And why hasn't this thread swerved over to ice cream or cannolis?
 
Jake’s Eatery in Newtown is a place I like for breakfast when visiting family. Pork Roll, scrapple, and creamed chipped beef all on the menu. Neshaminy Creek at Tyler State Park right over the hill.
 
Gonna spot burn here. Out of state but still within casting distance of NEPA. The West Branch of the Delaware above the Cannonsville Reservoir has some intermittent locations where wild brown trout reside among the stockies, some to 16 inches. Some good size fallfish in the area, too. The covered bridge at Hamden and the boat ramp in Walton are good places to prospect. But the reason you go is the Blue Bee Cafe in Delhi. Fashioned after a New York Deli, this place has scrumptious breakfasts and its own bakery. If you go in the fall, their pumpkin cupcakes are literally to die for. Now we're almost back on track. Wrong state, right pew. Carry on.

Dear Oregon-OwIll,

Now you are bringing back memories. When you got off Rte. 17 at East Branch to head to Downsville up Rte. 30 there was some gas station like place that had great breakfast sandwiches and decent "Hoagies" for a place that didn't even know what a hoagie was.

But when you got all the way to Downsville there was a place on Rte. 30 right after you turned right in town. I can't remember that name of the place, but it was a brown wood sided building. It was kind of like a small-town grocery store, but it had great sandwiches and all kinds of beef jerky and meat snacks. I don't think I ever drove by there and didn't stop to grab something!

It was part of my Delaware County NY sales route when I called on the bluestone quarries. I'd head to Margaretville, and then back to Delhi. From there I go back to Oneonta and Brooks BBQ where I'd pick up a couple of 1/2 chickens and fry baskets and eat them on the way back home to Broome County tossing the bones out the window. 😉

I had to wear a dress shirt, dress pants and a tie on the job. Many times, I stopped to fish and looked like even a bigger dork than I am, but I didn't care! 😉

Regards,

Tim Murphy 🙂
