Scottish poet Robert Burns’ translated quote — “And would some Power the small gift give us; To see ourselves as others see us!” — is wholly appropriate to Peddler’s Village in light of a recent Main Line Tonight article.
Author Tara Behan chronicles the multifaceted appeal of the popular retail/dining/entertainment site, providing an outsider’s view of one of the county’s most enduring tourism destinations.
Behan fashioned itineraries under three categories: romance, kids, and friends.
Romance
- Take a leisurely stroll and pop into the locally owned shops
- Stop for a pre-dinner cocktail at Hewn Spirits’ Tasting Room
- Cozy up to a romantic meal at Earl’s New American
- Make a night of it by staying at the Golden Plough Inn
Kids
- Gaze at the 12-foot sand sculptures constructed for the summer 2022 anniversary season
- Ride the vintage carousel at Giggleberry Fair, an indoor fun center
- Browse jaZams toy store or the kids’ stacks at the Lahaska Bookshop
- Sugar up at Nina’s Waffles & Ice Cream, The Lucky Cupcake Company, Skip’s Candy Corner, or the new Cloak and Wand, where the potions are magical and dessertish
Friends
- Bond over an iced coffee Mama Hawk’s Kitchen & Coffee
- Unwind at David J. Witchell Salon & Spa
- Finish the day with a meal on the deck at Buttonwood Grill
Whatever the motivation, the destination is always enticing for first-timers and return visitors alike.
Christine Hensel Triantos, Peddler’s Village director of marketing and communications agrees, saying, “With annual festivals and seasonal events, there’s always a reason to visit.”
