Looking to go on a quick trip and needed some advice. Looking for a town or small city in Western or Central PA to spend a night. Would like the ability to park the bike and walk around after riding to get dinner and some drinks. Local breweries or brew pubs where we could get some local craft beer would be a huge plus.
Sept 16 is a Football Weekend at State College...stay away...way too much traffic, rowdy drunk students, and general idiocy. (I live about 45 minutes away, and don't go that direction on game weekends if I can avoid it.) On an "away" weekend, lots less people, accommodations are available.
Too many mid sized towns have their ugly sides coming out....the more rural the better for me. I've never been there, but plan to go soon - friends tell me the Elk are out in Benezette, PA.

I have a great friends that own Benezette Wines .......... the elk are bugling right now. They even have some lodgings ................
Pittsburgh is a "LITTLE" big city...... so there's gonna be a lot of hotels/motels to crash. You can walk or catch a cab/uber to the South Side which is nothing but bars and restaurants. There's also Station Square which I believe has the Marriot hotel there. It's another area where there's a ton of bars and restaurants. On a good weekend with nice weather there's plenty of stuff to get into

thanks, love Pittsburgh. Been there more times than I can recall. Looking for something smaller, more laid back.
I live in Altoona but we have a Park Model in a great campground in Bedford and we spend a great deal of time there. Bedford is a great small town, has a few nice motels and a very nice historic one about 5 miles out of town. Bedford Springs which was totally redone about 10 years ago. 5 star plush place. Bedford is a super walk around little town. Now the first full two weekends are fall foliage weekends and a bit busy with a bunch of vendors selling there crafts.
