Outdoor Dining at Cork & Fork

With winter temperatures near freezing, outdoor dining might sound a bit strange, but Cork and Fork has found a unique way to seat guests outside. Their private, heated "snow globes" offer a cozy setting along State Street with gorgeous views of the PA State Capitol building.  In addition to a delicious menu of pastas, pizzas, meats, cheeses and small plates, Cork & Fork offers family-style dining options with dishes that serve 4-6 people each!
