A Saturday in each

New Hope

  • Landmark Tavern at Logan Inn: The Logan Inn has run as an inn since 1727, one of the oldest still going in the country, and the tavern out front is where you drink to it.
  • 4 The Love Of Thingz: A women's boutique on South Main where the Judy Blue denim wall runs deep and the graphic tees are filed by theme: sarcasm, animals, pride, holidays.
  • Bucks County Playhouse: A converted 1790 grist mill on the Delaware that's been staging shows since 1939, where Grace Kelly made her professional debut and Robert Redford premiered "Barefoot in the Park." Summers still mean full-scale musicals like this season's South Pacific and Rent, with dinner on the Playhouse Deck over the river before curtain.

Sellersville

  • The Washington House Hotel & Restaurant: The dinner-and-a-show half of the Sellersville Theater complex, sharing a wall with the 325-seat STG stage so you can eat and walk next door without moving the car.
  • Sellersville Beverage & Cigar: A family beer distributor since 2006, with a walk-in humidor of a few thousand cigars set behind the cases of craft, import, and domestic.
  • Lake Lenape Waterfalls: The spillway pours over a low WPA-built dam into the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek, the natural halfway point on the loop that circles this 122-acre park straddling Sellersville and Perkasie.
