"New Hope’s known as a cool suburb (in fact, it was named one of Matador Network’s coolest towns in America in 2018), and it definitely lives up to that reputation. This Delaware River town, with gorgeous, old architecture and dogwood trees, might be quieter than the city, but it’s definitely not boring. New Hope has several niche small businesses, specializing in anything from lingerie to Irish imports to magic. You can grab a meal at the Bowman’s Tavern or the vegan-friendly Lambertville Station Restaurant and Inn. There are also art galleries, rumors of a haunted inn (the Logan Inn), and an impossible-to-miss big red barn that hosts local theater. Interestingly enough, two of its biggest communities are bikers and drag queens, and they get along swimmingly. New Hope is only an hour’s drive from the city, and can easily be combined with visits to Lambertville in New Jersey, just over the bridge, and the ridiculously quaint Peddler’s Village." - MATADOR_NETWORK
