Top 5 Places To Eat In Wheeling, WV

If you live in the small town of Wheeling, WV or happen to be visiting family here or checking out the Festival of Lights in Oglebay you might want to pay a visit to some of our best local restaurants.


1. Elm Grove DiCarlos

It should be noted that that the DiCarlos in Elm Grove is ten times better than the one in downtown. (Although the one in downtown scores extra points for having a seating area.) This pizza isn't the typical kind; it is cut in squares, with a crispy crust and the BEST cheese that has ever graced this planet. You can order your pizza by the slice which is so much easier than having to buy a whole other pizza just to accomodate for everyone eating it. Rate: 8/10 because there's no place to sit and sometimes the wait is long BUT often times when it is, they give you an extra slice of pizza free of charge. Also can we talk about how ICONIC the lady in the picture is?


2. Ye Olde Alpha

The Alpha is everyone's go-to restaurant. Whether it's to just grab a quick bite with a friend or to indulge in a post-fall-play-performance meal with the entire cast, the Alpha is the perfect place. Personally, I recommend the blackened tomato sandwich or the portabella mushroom sandwich -- containing the perfect amount of feta cheese and pesto sauce cooked to a salty perfection. Other popular favorites include the Jones, Greek wings, and of course the well-known BRIDGEPORT BROWNIE.


3. Later Gator

Located in Centre Market in Downtown, Later Gator radiates a very "Wheeling Feeling" vibe, and it's perfect for homecoming dinner or getting lunch before seeing a play at Towngate. The restaurant is best known for their crepes - great for either dinner or desert. My favorite part about Later Gator is their vegetarian options and their cute as heck mason jars!!


4. Avenue Eats

Conveniently placed next to the Wheeling Coffee Shoppe on Washington Ave., Avenue Eats is a small restaurant with an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. Their specialties include sandwiches on ciabatta bread and delectable cupcakes. Avenue Eats has an outdoor dining area, perfect for lunch in the summer.


5. Cilantro

Although I might have written an entire article on why Chipotle is superior to Cilantro, I have to hand it to them, Cilantro is pretty good. Strategically positioned next to the Alpha and in the heart of Woodsdale, the Latin American restaurant displays numerous soccer jerseys. Popular favorites at Cilantro include their steak and Oreo churros. My favorite thing about the restaurant is their mango salsa in the summer.

So if you're ever visiting Wheeling or have lived here your entire life but have never gone to one of these places (I've lived in Wheeling my whole life but had never gone to the Alpha until last year) they are 100% worth trying. Food honestly brings together the Wheeling community so stay hungry.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
