New eatery planned for Harp & Fiddle spot

Plans are in the works to reopen a once popular downtown York restaurant. On Wednesday, Matt DeRose, an owner of Heritage Hills Golf Resort & Conference Center in York Township, confirmed that he is a principal owner for a new business at the former Harp & Fiddle Irish Pub and Restaurant on North George Street in York.

I would rethink this move, Downtown York is a $hit hole

there are 4 or 5 blocks in downtown that are somewhat nice!

York is a great small city and people who run it down are generally just xenophobic rubes. I wish the entrepreneurs well and I look forward to getting back in the old Harp and Fiddle building.

The first two guys are right. York city isn't what it used to be. Twenty years ago York was a great place to hang out. It had a great night life, and you didn't feel unsafe. If stating the obvious is racist, then so be it. I think Jake is a little naive if he thinks that the influx of minorities who have moved into York over the past few years has nothing to do with that. If you don't believe that, then go visit Reading, Allentown, Coatsville and Lebanon. Lancaster and Harrisburg aren't doing that well either.
