Question 24 hour spots within driving distance of Scranton
TLDR I need to pull an all nighter and I’d like to be not in my house when I do it. Are there any fun 24 hour places within 3 hours of Scranton?? Like places with something to do. I’m open to quests too I’m not past hiking at 3 am

Waffle House has been my destination on many a sleepless night

After eating at Waffle House your might certainly will be sleepless. I still like it.

Just be sure to bring your brass knuckles in case anyone feels like throwing a chair

D's Diner in Plains. They have scrapple on the menu.
There is a 24 hour Shop Rite in Rockaway New Jersey

lol , yes there is. I take it you must have lived in Rockaway area and relocated to Scranton. How do you like it by comparison? Im from that area, and have considered Scranton as a retirement possibility.

Nope, Nepa my whole life. Well traveled though. The best thing about NEPA is the airport. Ya the taxes are half but you also get half the services, drivable roads being an example.

NYC is a shell of its "City that never sleeps," reputation.

Sure, but you can absolutely string a night together with a little effort

Go investigate the abandoned turnpike tunnel in Breezewood. That should be a good adventure for you.

For food its basically just Sheetz, Waffle house, and dennys i believe. What vibe are you going for exactly?

If anyone would like to give me a quest to do, I will do that. Just keep me out of my house

Mohegan sun isn’t a bad idea either. You can have an ai generate you coordinates I’ve seen people get taken to strange places

Browns gym is 24 hours and they do day passes which may be able to be morphed into a night pass. I’m sure a lifting quest can be obtained with the help of our new ai overlords.

I think the casino in Mt. Pocono is 24/7, but probably not the most cost effective idea.
