What is an interstate highway?

An interstate highway is simply a highway that goes through two or more states, although there are a few exceptions to that rule. Some interstates even cross the entire country, making them great highways for road trips.

What states does I-99 run through?

Interstate 99 is definitely on the smaller side as far as interstates go—it only runs through two states!

I-99 mostly winds through central

Pennsylvania

(85.78 miles) and then up to southern

New York

(13.08 miles). The section of the interstate in New York—beginning at New York’s border with Pennsylvania—is actually concurrent with US 15.

Best places to eat along I-99

Don’t worry—we’ll make sure you are well fed for your trip along I-99. Here’s some great eats to fuel you on your drive:

Mamma Lucrezia’s Italian Restaurant

(Bellefonte, PA): Dine in or get takeout from this modern Italian joint. We recommend Mamma Lucrezia’s as a dinner spot—they are open Tuesday through Thursday 4–9 pm, Friday and Saturday 2–9:30pm, and closed Sunday and Monday.

Hofbrau

(Bellefonte, PA): Pick up some classic Italian pizza or enjoy wings with house-made sauces. Open 4–9pm.

Axemann Brewery

(Bellefonte, PA): If you’re not feeling like Italian in Bellefonte, Axemann is a great stop. Get craft beer (or a cocktail) and stroll around to check out the food trucks (yeah, you read that right) from 11am–8pm.

Horn O Plenty

(Bedford, PA): This New American restaurant is a great pull out if you’re in the mood for a nice sit-down dinner. Make sure to

make a reservation

if you want to secure a table! Horn O Plenty is open 11am–8pm.

10/09 Kitchen

(Bedford, PA): This chef-owned operation with a tavern-style dining room has a dish for everyone—whether it’s refreshing caprese, rich five cheese ravioli, or a prime beef burger. Open Tuesday through Saturday 5–8:30pm.

Pro Tip If your heart is set on visiting a certain restaurant, make sure it’s open before you hit the road! We’d hate for you to drive all the way out and find your restaurant of choice is closed for the day.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
