"The Bird in Hand is packed with a little bit of everything, from specialty shops, bakeries, and stalls selling handcrafted goods (candles, clip-clopping rocking horses) to meat, produce, candy, and fresh baked goods. The tempting smells are a siren’s song for hungry tourists: You'll see them milling around alongside locals picking up meat and produce for the week. Don't go home without one of Amish country's signature foods, like shoo fly pie and cheddarwurst; the hand-crafted dolls (sans facial markings, per the strict Amish tradition) are a cool find, too." - Nancy DePalma
