![]() | Today is National Hot Chocolate Day! Each year on January 31, National Hot Chocolate Day warms up people across the country by celebrating the timeless cold-weather beverage. Hot chocolate is a warm beverage made with ground chocolate, heated milk or water, and sugar. In America, we often use the terms hot chocolate and hot cocoa interchangeably. However, the two beverages are different. Cocoa vs Hot Chocolate We make hot cocoa with cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and sugar. We’re able to do this thanks to a process developed by father and son chemists. The thicker, more flavorful beverage, we make hot chocolate from ground chocolate containing cocoa butter. It’s also called drinking chocolate. Hot chocolate has also been around longer than hot cocoa. In the early 1800s, Casparus van Houten Sr. developed a process to separate the cocoa solids from the butter. His son, Coenraad Johannes made those fats more soluble in water. Together their processes made cocoa powder possible. But before then, everyone drank hot chocolate. This thicker, creamier beverage often offered medicinal benefits for stomach ailments during the 19th century. There are health benefits to drinking hot chocolate. Cocoa contains significant amounts of antioxidants that may help prevent cancer. It has also been shown that the cocoa beans help with digestion. The flavonoids that are found in the cocoa also have a positive effect on arterial health. You saw it here, folks, chocolate IS good for you!!!

![]() | A Slice of History ~ Subway Cafe, Harrisburg PA When visiting Central PA, it's a must to try a slice of history at Subway Cafe . Locals love their hand-thrown pizza, featuring a famous super-skinny crust, fresh toppings, plenty of cheese and topped (Yes, Topped!) with a layer of homemade sauce. It is not your typical pizza pie!!! While eating their pizza, get a 32 ounce fishbowl of beer to wash it down!! Unique is an understatement for the Subway Cafe!! Donato, Sr. and Liana Giusti opened the Subway Cafe in July of 1948. Now, thousands have stopped at the two-story brick building with its tall neon sign for the old-world pizzas. The couple took over the restaurant at 1000 Herr St. and unknowingly built a landmark! 74 years later and it's still going strong!!!! Another unique place in Central PA is The Bridgeview Bed & Breakfast. We are located on the banks of the Susquehanna River overlooking northern Harrisburg, the Blue Mountains and the famous Rockville Bridge. At the Bridgeview you are guaranteed a clean, comfortable room with a private bath, WiFi, individual A/C, and a delicious breakfast to start your day off right!

![]() | Winter Birding at The Bridgeview B&B Birding through the seasons in Pennsylvania Birding activity at the start of our calendar year depends largely on the severity of the winter. The hardiest of birds remain in January. Topping the list, resident birds are juncos, chickadees, nuthatches, titmice, finches, song sparrows, blue jays, a few woodpeckers, the ever-present crow, hawks and Bald Eagles. Some game birds, such as the Ring-necked Pheasant, Ruffed Grouse and Wild Turkey, also stay with us and some ducks may linger around or even reside the whole winter, provided there is open water. Birding in January can still be enjoyable and rewarding. From wildlife of all sorts to the gorgeous scenic backdrop of Central Pennsylvania's Blue Mountains, The Bridgeview Bed and Breakfast is a nature lovers dream!
