SCRANTON, Pa. — After a little flash flooding months ago and with everything surrounding COVID-19, the tables at a not-so-typical restaurant were empty for a bit.
But that’s changing this month.
A student-run restaurant, billed by many as a five-star experience, is back in action in Scranton.
It's called "409 on Adams" located on the campus of Lackawanna College.
Newswatch 16's Ryan Leckey spotlighted the spot on Thursday.
While the restaurant looks and feels like a typical spot for foodies, it's unique in the fact that culinary students from Lackawanna College are behind it all, essentially opening up their classroom to the public.
