Stroll down Memory Lane – or embrace your hippie side for the first time – when you visit the most hippie town in Pennsylvania. New Hope, an all-around endearing town, promises plenty to do, to see, and to eat. And, you’ll also meet some of the friendliest people in all of PA.
Nestled along the Delaware River across from Lambertville, New Jersey, New Hope has become known for many things. Its art scene. The eclectic shops. A big city feel wrapped in a small town package.
It also has earned the right to call itself the most hippie town in Pennsylvania. You'll see why very quickly when arriving in this small town of just under 2,500.
Meander through the small town, along the canal's walkway, where you'll discover the Bucks County Playhouse, New Hope Winery, and the historic Logan Inn.
Embrace the creativity that permeates throughout the small town. Art galleries - such as Gallery Piquel and Red Tulip Gallery - dot the streets. And...
Make your own tie dye creation. Host a tie dye party at the vibrant Type B Tie Dye Studios. Or, browse the shop to find the perfect tie dye clothing to add to your wardrobe.
Love Saves The Day makes it easy for you to turn your home into a blast from the past. (Hint: Notice the shop's initials?) The eclectic shops sells vintage clothing, novelties, and even toys.
All that shopping is sure to help you work up an appetite. Fortunately, you'll find plenty of scrumptious restaurants in New Hope. Blue Moose Restaurant & Cafe, for example, offers such delectable dishes as jambalaya, stuffed chicken, and ravioli.
Extend your stay in this enchanting town with a stay at such quaint B&Bs as Porches on the Towpath and Fox & Hound Bed and Breakfast before heading back to your quaint corner of PA.
