The Setting
Just far enough away from and close enough to two major cities New Hope pulls in weekend crowds from Philly and New York City. New Hope and it's Jersey counterpart Lambertville span the eastern and western shores of the Delaware River--near where Washington crossed it to surprise the Hessians on Christmas Eve, 1776. Tour New Hope's historic homes, dally in Lambertville's flea market and antique shops. Kayak or tube along the Delaware.
