This was a fun one. I spent about 8 years of my life living just outside Philadelphia. There was a period of time where, on the off chance I’d have some time off on a weekend, my friends and I would take a little drive north into Bucks County. There are some beautiful, and funky, spots that were perfect for a little day away.
My personal favorite spot was New Hope. Now, it’s been about 20 years since the last time I was there, but it’s such a funky place. Lots of art, cafes and a relaxed atmosphere. And there was this super cool flea market nearby where we used to find all kinds of great stuff.
Like I said, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve been to Bucks County. I discovered during this conversation that it’s still very much the same as I remember, but they’ve made some upgrades. And there’s a new spotlight on the area.
This week I got to speak with Paul Vencivengo, the president and CEO of Visit Bucks County. By the end of this conversation I was ready to pack up the car and make the drive north right up to Bucks County. I’m pretty sure you’ll find my family up there this summer.

What's up, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome to Delightful Destinations. My name is Jeff sa Pierre.
Welcome to episode twenty four of the show. Hey, this
is your first time checking out the program. Welcome, I
appreciate your time. Delightful Destinations is a show that I
created so I could talk to representatives from different locations
around the country and learn more about these beautiful places
that are just all around us. I'm always looking for
(00:24):
an excuse to get away from home, and I hope
this show will help inspire you for your next excursion.
This was a fun one because I spent about eight
years of my life living just outside Philadelphia. There was
a period of time where on the off chance that
I'd actually have some time off on a weekend, my
friends and I would take a little drive north into
what's known as Bucks County. There are some beautiful and
(00:44):
funky spots that were just perfect for a little day away. Now,
my personal favorite spot was New Hope, New Hope, Pennsylvania.
Now it's been about twenty years since the last time
that I was there, but it's just such a cool
and hit place. Lots of art cafes and a relaxed
atmosphere and there was this super cool flea market nearby too,
where we used to go find all kinds of great stuff.
(01:05):
Like I said, it's been a hot minute since I've
been to Bucks County. I discovered during this conversation that
it's still very much the same as I remember, but
they've made some upgrades and there's a new spotlight on
the area. This week, I got to speak with Paul
ben Sevengo, the president and CEO of Visit Bucks County.
By the end of this conversation, I was ready to
back up the car and make the drive north right
up to Bucks County. So I'm pretty sure you'll find
(01:27):
my family up there this summer. I hope you enjoy
our conversation.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Jeff, thank you so much for having me. I'm excited
beauty today and talk about Bucks County.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I'm excited to talk about it too, because I lived
in that region for about eight years of my life
and spent a bit of time up there in Bucks County.
Now it's been I think I moved away in two
thousand and seven, so it's been almost twenty years since
I lived there. But I have such fond memories of
going to New Hope and hanging out up there in
Bucks County.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, we hear that so much. The people that had
come out, you know, lived here, grew up here, went
to college in the Field area, visited and hadn't been
back in a long time. And we always say, you
won't recognize some of the parts, like New Hope is
completely it's even better and and just a great product
in New Hope. Peddlers Village might be somewhere that you
had visited back in the day. Peddlers Village is completely new.
(02:19):
There's a winery, a brewery, and a distillery there all
at Peddlers Village. And one of our other key main
attractions is you know Sesame Place that you may have
heard of, which is themed after Sesame Street. That one
of our you know, just iconic amusement parks in the
lower part of Bucks County.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I gotta tell you, you know, you mentioned that I
wouldn't recognize it now. But what's funny is I went
to your website, which is Visitbuckscounty dot com, and right
on the website and I'm sure it's probably there's rotating
pictures on here, but there's a picture right on the
website that looks like it's on the river. It's a
restaurant that I think I ate at the last time
I was at New Hope. Like looking at this picture,
I'm like, I'm pretty sure I've been to this restaurant.
(02:56):
It's not like a wire fence. It's right on the
river with like flam blankets on these chairs and a
fire pit.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Is that New Hope?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
That is New Hope. That's actually like a newly designed
installed deck that's right between the playhouse and Stella. So
I don't think that was there twenty ish years ago.
Maybe that fence was definitely there. You could have hung out,
but they have put tables and chairs out, and the
Bucks County Playoffs now has a restaurant attached to it
(03:23):
called the Deck, so you can grab dinner literally like
at the theater, catch a show, and then walk New
Hope and grab some drinks afterward. You know, it's a
great walkable town where we've got some celebrity sightings recently.
You know, it's Bucks County has been covered in the
New York Times, most recently about us being like the
new Hampton's Oh believe it or not, and we have
(03:44):
ggided is now a resident and Bradley Cooper you can
always see Bradley, you know, hopping around in Bucks County,
which is you know, it's fun when when that stuff
gets posted up on Instagram and kind of goes viral
and there's this an excitement about it. He's a a
great Philly guy for us.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh absolutely, I do want to say one more thing
about this picture, and I think it just is a
testament to what New Hope and what Bucks County is
all about. Is that yes, you're changing, you're growing, there
are new things coming in, but you still keep the
same vibe. Like you said, this is a new deck
that I definitely wouldn't have seen twenty years ago. However,
I'm looking at it and I'm like, Okay, this gives
me the same vibe that I had. Like New Hope
(04:23):
has that great feel that even if there are updated things,
they're updated things that fit, they fit in and they
still give you that cool, small town like funky spot feel.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah. I was waiting for you to say the word charm.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You know, we say that's the word I was looking for.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
That is it? It's small town charm that we've gotten
so many different of the towns again that are scattered
throughout Bucks County that all have their again, like their
different vibe, and it's great, you know, main streets with shopping, dining,
you know, great nightlife and New Hope Brings is such
an eclectic place for all of that. You know, they
(05:00):
celebrate pride strongly in New Hope and you know, you
walk down the street and you've got just all different
types of individuals that come and visit. The bikers love
to come down into New Hope and you know they
do the rides throughout the county, go through covered bridges
and then all hang out, you know, maybe at Franz
Pub or John and Peters and have a burger and
(05:20):
a beer. And then you know, just down the street
you'll have you know, the Wall Street New York couple
that comes in and stays at Odettes or the Logan
in and so there's really I always say this, there's
something for everyone, but it is the truth. If you
go to our website, this is Buckshunty dot com. History, culture, nightlife,
(05:45):
just a great getaway weekend for those that live in
kind of this mid Atlantic area.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm gonna ask you this question, and I hope it
doesn't come across sounding bad, but I don't really know
how else to ask it. You said that Bucks County
has had this comparison to being like the New Hampton's, Right,
And when I think of Hampton's, I think of beach,
and I think of summer, and I think of sort of,
you know, the excess and wealth of the Hamptons. Now
New Hope is kind of it's on a river. It's
kind of in the woods, if you will, of Pennsylvania.
(06:13):
So what is like, what is this comparison, like, what
what makes Bucks County and New Hope in that region?
What makes that so attractive to people trying.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
To come in? Yeah, and so I've never been to
the hampton so I can't speak firsthand, but I think
it's this just like New It's one of those things
where locals have always known this has been like a
cool hit place to go. And I'm not sure if
like the mainstream New Yorkers have found this now like hey,
let's go down into Pennsylvania. It's actually how New Hope
(06:46):
was founded in the colony where there was a lot
of individuals that were actually on like on Broadway and
they had Broadway shows, would actually come down to the
Bucks County Playhouse in the summer and kind of do
like test runs. So a lot of the kind of
the New York theater crowd and also artists and painters
came down into Bucks County painting the countryside again having
(07:11):
the theater experience, and recently with them having some celebrities
kind of move into town. I think it's just turned
a lot more eyeballs.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
How far are you from New York? Like, if you
were to come in from New York City, what would
that drive me?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
So again, you know, Bucks County is six hundred and
twenty five square miles, so we're we're huge. But if
you're looking at like the center of the county, I
mean an hour and a half, you know, I know
that you got to like Aleky, what's that time coming
out of New York. But you know, if you're even
from you know, Baltimore, Philly, New York, were super accessible
via there's an Amtrak stop right across the river in
(07:48):
Bucks County, or you know, we've got ninety five that
goes right through Bucks County, So again like super accessible
through any of the major cities on the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, I remember I lived just around Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I went to school at Villanova and lived there for
a few years and we would drive up every once
an we went to Rice's Flea Market I think it
was called.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, and that's still there.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It's right by Peddler's Village.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
That's so funny, it's still there.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
We did that a few different times on the weekends,
and it was a nice, easy drive, like a great
little experience just popping up there and getting out of
the city for a day. And you talked about art,
and that's exactly what I remember about New Hope in particular.
It's just art everywhere, Like every kind of art you
can imagine. That town just exemplified it.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah, there's some galleries there and just you know, like
unique thrift shops. You know, though they're very popular. Now,
we've been putting a lot of content out through our
social channels and on our website promoting a lot of these,
like you know, small businesses that have unique finds in
New Hope and again in lots of our other towns
that are kind of scattered throughout Bucks County.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, let's talk a little bit too about like the
museum and historic sites that you have there. Museums and
historic sites that you have there, because Bucks County. You know,
obviously it's Pennsylvania everywhere in this mid Atlantic region. I mean,
this is where the country started. You have historic sites
all over the place, and Bucks County has no shortage
of them.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, so will before I jump over to Doylestown, which
is only about you know, maybe fifteen minutes or so
plus from New Hope. Just down the river road from
New Hope is Washington Crossing Historic Park. When we're talking
about history, and that's the famous Loots painting where George
Washington is standing on the boat that happened in Bucks
(09:31):
County in Washington Crossing and you can kind of stand there,
there's a rock and memento, there's a visitors center and
take it all in of the site where essentially, you know,
they're saying, the tide of the Revolutionary War was you
know changed. And so there's lot, yes, lots of history
within Bucks County, and Doylestown has just a few great locations.
(09:53):
So Henry Mercer was a tile maker settled in Doylestown
and he was also a collector of early American artifacts.
So his like original place where they made tiles is
still like a working shop and museum. You can kind
of take a tour through the tile making spot. You
can also buy the tiles there. Right across from it
(10:15):
is font Hill. We all talk, we all talk about
the hidden Gem, so that's always people ask me, what's
the hidden Jam. I'm like, I don't know if it's
so hidden. But Font Hill is a really cool place.
It's like forty some rooms and basically like a like
a concrete like stone castle where Henry Mercer lived, with
tiles everywhere. It is very cool. And then just down
(10:37):
the street from those two you have the Mercer Museum,
where there's fifty thousand early American artifacts that are hanging
from the roof. Literally. It is another like very cool,
unique spot. And directly across the street from the Mercer
is the Mitchener Art Museum, so they call kind of
the Mercer Mile. And then you've got the Mitchener Museum
(10:59):
named James Mitchener. All there within Doylestown and Doyle Sound's
got a little you know, a couple of main streets
down there that's got shops, great restaurants and against some
nightlife just you know, again like in one of our
great towns, and a stone's throw away from Doyle Sound,
(11:19):
kind of like. Another fun fact is where Oscar Hammerstein
had his farm that turned into a Bend and Breakfast
that is now going to be a museum. Where he
wrote the sound of Music South Pacific, like Oklahoma, all
that was written in in Bucks County. And again back
to like those New Yorkers that came down and spent
(11:42):
kind of summers in Bucks County. Oscar Hammerstein was one
of them.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You know, speaking of arts and things like that too.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I remember I was in college when Signs was made,
the movie Signs. Oh yeah, and I remember ready talking
about going up there to see the filming and see
if they could catch.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Sight of any of the stars that were up there.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, just just pop back into my memory when you
were talking about you know, sound of music and all
these different I'm like, oh my gosh, that's right. I
mean movies too. Science was filmed there. I'm sure there
have been others that have been filmed there as well.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Definitely. Yeah, we have some movies and you can find
some of that content on our website. And we also
have other famous face like Pink Alicia Morris also from
Doyle Sound right. So yeah, and if you go to
our website, you'll see some of our other famous faces
that have like lived in Bucks County and given us
some here's my favorite place to like eat or shop,
(12:33):
and they're you know, they're they're really proud of it.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I love too, like funky museums that are not like
the big Like you go to Philadelphia, You've got the
big museums, right, but then you get off the beaten
path and you find these funky museums in these small towns.
And I don't know if it's just because I'm getting
older and I find the enjoyment in it, but like
I would have driven past those when I was a kid, right,
but like now these.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Are the coolest things ever.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Like you talk about the museum where things are just
hanging from the seal that I feel like I need
to go see that, like I.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Need to see how it is.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
It's really cool. It's a very cool environment. And there
actually is one that's recently open. They've got some limited hours,
but you can find it on our website. It's called
Vampa and it's all about like the paranormal. It's a
pretty cool museum.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, that's awesome, all right, So let's talk about something else,
because I find in every conversation I have now about
talking to people different counties, different towns, is things that
are similar to your ALE Trail, because I feel like
I missed out when I left Philadelphia that area where
I left Pennsylvania, the brewery thing hadn't quite blown up yet,
So I missed out on all of this. And I'm
(13:38):
very jealous that you have this really extensive ale trail
that goes through Bucks County.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah, so we have I think it's something like thirty
nine brewery locations, twenty some breweries with like you know,
just more than thirty locations throughout the county, and we've
kind of branded them all together as the Bucks County
Ale Trail and Gamifight because we you know, when people visit,
we want them, you know, to to move about the county,
create economic impact. You know, that's what our organization is
(14:05):
all about. We want you to come, have an amazing time,
create memories, and also you know, we're looking to support hospitality, jobs,
create economic impact. So the AIL Trail you come, you visit,
every check in is basically like one hundred points and
then you can turn your points in for either a
T shirt, a hat, or a hoodie. And every year
(14:27):
you know, will either tweak the design or the team
will you know, change out kind of what the gamification
is of it. But people love it. And there's all
the breweries are just so different. And there's some that
are in the center part of the county, the upper
part of the county as well as the lower part.
And in addition to the brewery scene that we've got,
(14:50):
we also have wineries here in Pennsylvania at in Bucks
County and the spirits. We also have a lot of
craft cocktail locatedas in Bucks County that are also situated
in a bunch of our small towns like Bristol, Borow,
New Hope, you know, new Town. This is when I
start to like start to name all the small towns.
(15:11):
If I don't get them all, I get in trouble.
But if you go to our website you can and
there's a towns in main Streets tab at the top
of the site and we'll list them all for you.
And yeah, people love doing the you know, getting again
the maybe the cocktail, have the dinner, do the shopping,
stay overnight at it. We've got all hotels and you
(15:32):
know kind of that lodging experiences you used to but
We've also got a lot of unique bed and breakfast
country inns as well as home shares. You know, we
know that's the way that people are traveling, and we've
got a lot of those along the Delaware River with
great views in Bucks County.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I remember interviewing somebody else recently and I asked them
what their favorite spot was. They were like, I'm not
allowed to tell you because I work for the so
hearing you talk about and trying to name all the downs.
It's funny because you can't play favorites when you're in
this role.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, yeah, and I don't mean to try, and you know,
just mention a few so people have a kind of
a nibble of it and then kind of go and
explore on your own. But you know, obviously our team
is putting a lot of content out, so you know,
we talk about the site a lot, but you know,
we're on Instagram, We're on Facebook, even LinkedIn. You know,
we're and we're sharing content all the time, giving people
ideas no matter what the season, you know, may be.
(16:25):
Now it's kind of that like, hey, winter get away
experience and then you know the spring is a great time.
Summers and obviously kind of like peak tourism season. The
fall is beautiful here in Pennsylvania, you know, and especially
in Bucks County. We were actually named the number one
leaf peeping destination last year by price Line. Yeah, and
(16:47):
that was in regard to like, you know, having the
leaves and the scenes as well as all the things
to do that you can experience when you come to
see the leaf peeping. So yeah, number one within the
United States and that was picked up by Travel and
you're a bunch of other media outlets, so we were
we were pretty proud of that.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
The tourism groups from New England send you death threats
for that.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
One man and our friends in the Poconos. We love
Poconos in Pennsylvania. You know, they have a lot of
fall foliage up there. But we're all, you know, we're
all friendly in the tourism hospitality we call co opetition.
We work together, but we're also competitors. And that's where
you know. We're situated between Philadelphia again and New York,
(17:28):
and we're so close to Philly that you can do
you know, do the stop in Philly if you're coming
up from that Maryland, d C. Baltimore area, you can
hit Philly, and then you can come up and you
can kind of do Bucks County hit a city urban
field and then come up and hit the countryside as well.
But because we are also very large, the lower part
of Bucks County has a you know, more urban fields,
(17:50):
and the more north you go throughout Bucks County, the
more you know, rolling hills that you'll see might actually
see some you know animals out there on the on
the side of you know, with farms and things of
that nature as you head up toward the upper parts
of Bucks County.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Refresh my memory too, because I'm trying to picture the
county map right now, and I'm pretty sure Bucks County
on the eastern side kind of butts up against New Jersey,
right like you're kind of right on the border.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yeah, so it would be New Jersey. And then right
across from New Rope is Lambertville and another probably like
small town but yeah, and then we're also across from Trenton,
New Jersey. Okay, to get people also, that helps give
some orientation, but it's yeah, Jersey, the Delaware River, and
then Bucks County and then on the other side of
Bucks County is Montgomery County, and then just below us
(18:42):
would be Philadelphia. And then you know the Lehigh Valley
is right north of Bucks County.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Right, okay, perfect.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
You know something else that you guys have a lot
of And I grew up in New Hampshire and we
have a lot of them up there too, And I've
always thought it was so interesting how fascinating they are.
But covered bridges. Covered bridges are a fascinating thing. And
you've got a cover bridge driving tour through Bucks County.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
We do it. We have a self guided one that
you can go on the website and you can take
and this is the one that fascinates me every year.
You know, the team we track this every week really
is you know, top pages, top viewed pages. The cover
Bridge driving tour is there and people have the opportunity
to kind of you know, meander through the back roads
of Bucks County and go through them and there they
(19:28):
are pretty cool. We used to have, you know, there
was one hundreds shout the state of Pennsylvania. Now we
know we've got twelve. And there's a Covered Bridge Historical
Society that maintains them, so they're in great shape. Photographers
love them, and again I mentioned, you know, there's cyclists
as well as you know those that Harley Davidson like
(19:48):
the Hogs will go through and have their like covered
bridge driving tour day. But it's a great opportunity. You
can break it up in two difference. There's an upper
and kind of lower part for the covered bridge driving
tourm you tie that in with breweries and you bring
it all together.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That's quite a weekend right there.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I'm just thinking about all the trouble I could get
myself into up there in Bucks County with all that.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah, there's one that they say is haunted called cry
Baby Bridge. Okay, well they say I think a mother
had thrown their child off the bridge or something. But yeah,
so we've got, you know, a bunch of the haunted
elements as well here in Bucks County, one of them
being a covered bridge.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I think I know that story, Like that sounds so
familiar to me. Cry Baby Bridge. I'll have to look
into that too. I do want to mention this too.
We mentioned Sesame Place really quick, and that is obviously
a big attraction for a lot of families up there
in Bucks County.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, so Sesame Place is it kind of in the
lower part of the county, very accessible from ninety five.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike also kind of root one within this area,
and it is it's actually celebrating forty five years this year. Yeah,
we'll have you know, they're gonna have special programming for
the for the birthday and it's all themed after Sesame Street.
(21:06):
So if your kids are, you know, fans of Elmo,
Big Bird, Brasita, you got to make sure that you
get to Sesame Place.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
It's fine.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I never had a reason to go, but now I've
got a four year old and my wife and I
have actually been talking about maybe doing like a little
day trip up there this summer.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
And then if you bring you know, if you bring
the grandparents or you bring friends and you want to
then leave the kid at the hotel. We have a
Parts casino is not far from Sesame Place. There you go,
that's got a great venue that brings in live acts.
There's a lot of live music that happens throughout our
county as well. So you know, it's all a balance, right.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, you seem to have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Yeah, and the so obviously we've talked a lot about
leisure tourism. You know, we're popular with groups small beatings,
but weddings is also really popular in Bucks County. You know,
brides and grooms love us. There's lots of farms, so
you know, we have that like rustic farm type wedding,
lots of it in like rolling hills, beautiful settings. You
can have your wedding literally in a castle, so that
(22:07):
you know, it's another piece where we have those individuals
that are in maybe in Philly or Baltimore, New York,
and they want to escape kind of that urban wedding
experience or celebration and look to do something in like
a unique venue that we've got here in Bucks County.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah, you really, you really do cover all the bases.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I've always thought that was really cool about Bucks County
that you have You're such an expansive area where like
like you said, it kind of goes all the way down.
The southern part is kind of really close to Philadelphia,
so you have a little bit more urban there. Then
as you get further north, you're just checking all the
boxes of everything you might need in a county. You've
got a little bit of all of it, all of it.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It's definitely I would an hour and twenty if you

What's up, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome to Delightful Destinations. My name is Jeff sa Pierre.
Welcome to episode twenty four of the show. Hey, this
is your first time checking out the program. Welcome, I
appreciate your time. Delightful Destinations is a show that I
created so I could talk to representatives from different locations
around the country and learn more about these beautiful places
that are just all around us. I'm always looking for
(00:24):
an excuse to get away from home, and I hope
this show will help inspire you for your next excursion.
This was a fun one because I spent about eight
years of my life living just outside Philadelphia. There was
a period of time where on the off chance that
I'd actually have some time off on a weekend, my
friends and I would take a little drive north into
what's known as Bucks County. There are some beautiful and
(00:44):
funky spots that were just perfect for a little day away. Now,
my personal favorite spot was New Hope, New Hope, Pennsylvania.
Now it's been about twenty years since the last time
that I was there, but it's just such a cool
and hit place. Lots of art cafes and a relaxed
atmosphere and there was this super cool flea market nearby too,
where we used to go find all kinds of great stuff.
(01:05):
Like I said, it's been a hot minute since I've
been to Bucks County. I discovered during this conversation that
it's still very much the same as I remember, but
they've made some upgrades and there's a new spotlight on
the area. This week, I got to speak with Paul
ben Sevengo, the president and CEO of Visit Bucks County.
By the end of this conversation, I was ready to
back up the car and make the drive north right
up to Bucks County. So I'm pretty sure you'll find
(01:27):
my family up there this summer. I hope you enjoy
our conversation.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Jeff, thank you so much for having me. I'm excited
beauty today and talk about Bucks County.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I'm excited to talk about it too, because I lived
in that region for about eight years of my life
and spent a bit of time up there in Bucks County.
Now it's been I think I moved away in two
thousand and seven, so it's been almost twenty years since
I lived there. But I have such fond memories of
going to New Hope and hanging out up there in
Bucks County.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, we hear that so much. The people that had
come out, you know, lived here, grew up here, went
to college in the Field area, visited and hadn't been
back in a long time. And we always say, you
won't recognize some of the parts, like New Hope is
completely it's even better and and just a great product
in New Hope. Peddlers Village might be somewhere that you
had visited back in the day. Peddlers Village is completely new.
(02:19):
There's a winery, a brewery, and a distillery there all
at Peddlers Village. And one of our other key main
attractions is you know Sesame Place that you may have
heard of, which is themed after Sesame Street. That one
of our you know, just iconic amusement parks in the
lower part of Bucks County.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I gotta tell you, you know, you mentioned that I
wouldn't recognize it now. But what's funny is I went
to your website, which is Visitbuckscounty dot com, and right
on the website and I'm sure it's probably there's rotating
pictures on here, but there's a picture right on the
website that looks like it's on the river. It's a
restaurant that I think I ate at the last time
I was at New Hope. Like looking at this picture,
I'm like, I'm pretty sure I've been to this restaurant.
(02:56):
It's not like a wire fence. It's right on the
river with like flam blankets on these chairs and a
fire pit.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Is that New Hope?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
That is New Hope. That's actually like a newly designed
installed deck that's right between the playhouse and Stella. So
I don't think that was there twenty ish years ago.
Maybe that fence was definitely there. You could have hung out,
but they have put tables and chairs out, and the
Bucks County Playoffs now has a restaurant attached to it
(03:23):
called the Deck, so you can grab dinner literally like
at the theater, catch a show, and then walk New
Hope and grab some drinks afterward. You know, it's a
great walkable town where we've got some celebrity sightings recently.
You know, it's Bucks County has been covered in the
New York Times, most recently about us being like the
new Hampton's Oh believe it or not, and we have
(03:44):
ggided is now a resident and Bradley Cooper you can
always see Bradley, you know, hopping around in Bucks County,
which is you know, it's fun when when that stuff
gets posted up on Instagram and kind of goes viral
and there's this an excitement about it. He's a a
great Philly guy for us.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh absolutely, I do want to say one more thing
about this picture, and I think it just is a
testament to what New Hope and what Bucks County is
all about. Is that yes, you're changing, you're growing, there
are new things coming in, but you still keep the
same vibe. Like you said, this is a new deck
that I definitely wouldn't have seen twenty years ago. However,
I'm looking at it and I'm like, Okay, this gives
me the same vibe that I had. Like New Hope
(04:23):
has that great feel that even if there are updated things,
they're updated things that fit, they fit in and they
still give you that cool, small town like funky spot feel.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah. I was waiting for you to say the word charm.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You know, we say that's the word I was looking for.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
That is it? It's small town charm that we've gotten
so many different of the towns again that are scattered
throughout Bucks County that all have their again, like their
different vibe, and it's great, you know, main streets with shopping, dining,
you know, great nightlife and New Hope Brings is such
an eclectic place for all of that. You know, they
(05:00):
celebrate pride strongly in New Hope and you know, you
walk down the street and you've got just all different
types of individuals that come and visit. The bikers love
to come down into New Hope and you know they
do the rides throughout the county, go through covered bridges
and then all hang out, you know, maybe at Franz
Pub or John and Peters and have a burger and
(05:20):
a beer. And then you know, just down the street
you'll have you know, the Wall Street New York couple
that comes in and stays at Odettes or the Logan
in and so there's really I always say this, there's
something for everyone, but it is the truth. If you
go to our website, this is Buckshunty dot com. History, culture, nightlife,
(05:45):
just a great getaway weekend for those that live in
kind of this mid Atlantic area.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm gonna ask you this question, and I hope it
doesn't come across sounding bad, but I don't really know
how else to ask it. You said that Bucks County
has had this comparison to being like the New Hampton's, Right,
And when I think of Hampton's, I think of beach,
and I think of summer, and I think of sort of,
you know, the excess and wealth of the Hamptons. Now
New Hope is kind of it's on a river. It's
kind of in the woods, if you will, of Pennsylvania.
(06:13):
So what is like, what is this comparison, like, what
what makes Bucks County and New Hope in that region?
What makes that so attractive to people trying.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
To come in? Yeah, and so I've never been to
the hampton so I can't speak firsthand, but I think
it's this just like New It's one of those things
where locals have always known this has been like a
cool hit place to go. And I'm not sure if
like the mainstream New Yorkers have found this now like hey,
let's go down into Pennsylvania. It's actually how New Hope
(06:46):
was founded in the colony where there was a lot
of individuals that were actually on like on Broadway and
they had Broadway shows, would actually come down to the
Bucks County Playhouse in the summer and kind of do
like test runs. So a lot of the kind of
the New York theater crowd and also artists and painters
came down into Bucks County painting the countryside again having
(07:11):
the theater experience, and recently with them having some celebrities
kind of move into town. I think it's just turned
a lot more eyeballs.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
How far are you from New York? Like, if you
were to come in from New York City, what would
that drive me?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
So again, you know, Bucks County is six hundred and
twenty five square miles, so we're we're huge. But if
you're looking at like the center of the county, I
mean an hour and a half, you know, I know
that you got to like Aleky, what's that time coming
out of New York. But you know, if you're even
from you know, Baltimore, Philly, New York, were super accessible
via there's an Amtrak stop right across the river in
(07:48):
Bucks County, or you know, we've got ninety five that
goes right through Bucks County, So again like super accessible
through any of the major cities on the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, I remember I lived just around Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I went to school at Villanova and lived there for
a few years and we would drive up every once
an we went to Rice's Flea Market I think it
was called.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, and that's still there.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It's right by Peddler's Village.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
That's so funny, it's still there.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
We did that a few different times on the weekends,
and it was a nice, easy drive, like a great
little experience just popping up there and getting out of
the city for a day. And you talked about art,
and that's exactly what I remember about New Hope in particular.
It's just art everywhere, Like every kind of art you
can imagine. That town just exemplified it.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah, there's some galleries there and just you know, like
unique thrift shops. You know, though they're very popular. Now,
we've been putting a lot of content out through our
social channels and on our website promoting a lot of these,
like you know, small businesses that have unique finds in
New Hope and again in lots of our other towns
that are kind of scattered throughout Bucks County.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, let's talk a little bit too about like the
museum and historic sites that you have there. Museums and
historic sites that you have there, because Bucks County. You know,
obviously it's Pennsylvania everywhere in this mid Atlantic region. I mean,
this is where the country started. You have historic sites
all over the place, and Bucks County has no shortage
of them.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, so will before I jump over to Doylestown, which
is only about you know, maybe fifteen minutes or so
plus from New Hope. Just down the river road from
New Hope is Washington Crossing Historic Park. When we're talking
about history, and that's the famous Loots painting where George
Washington is standing on the boat that happened in Bucks
(09:31):
County in Washington Crossing and you can kind of stand there,
there's a rock and memento, there's a visitors center and
take it all in of the site where essentially, you know,
they're saying, the tide of the Revolutionary War was you
know changed. And so there's lot, yes, lots of history
within Bucks County, and Doylestown has just a few great locations.
(09:53):
So Henry Mercer was a tile maker settled in Doylestown
and he was also a collector of early American artifacts.
So his like original place where they made tiles is
still like a working shop and museum. You can kind
of take a tour through the tile making spot. You
can also buy the tiles there. Right across from it
(10:15):
is font Hill. We all talk, we all talk about
the hidden Gem, so that's always people ask me, what's
the hidden Jam. I'm like, I don't know if it's
so hidden. But Font Hill is a really cool place.
It's like forty some rooms and basically like a like
a concrete like stone castle where Henry Mercer lived, with
tiles everywhere. It is very cool. And then just down
(10:37):
the street from those two you have the Mercer Museum,
where there's fifty thousand early American artifacts that are hanging
from the roof. Literally. It is another like very cool,
unique spot. And directly across the street from the Mercer
is the Mitchener Art Museum, so they call kind of
the Mercer Mile. And then you've got the Mitchener Museum
(10:59):
named James Mitchener. All there within Doylestown and Doyle Sound's
got a little you know, a couple of main streets
down there that's got shops, great restaurants and against some
nightlife just you know, again like in one of our
great towns, and a stone's throw away from Doyle Sound,
(11:19):
kind of like. Another fun fact is where Oscar Hammerstein
had his farm that turned into a Bend and Breakfast
that is now going to be a museum. Where he
wrote the sound of Music South Pacific, like Oklahoma, all
that was written in in Bucks County. And again back
to like those New Yorkers that came down and spent
(11:42):
kind of summers in Bucks County. Oscar Hammerstein was one
of them.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You know, speaking of arts and things like that too.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I remember I was in college when Signs was made,
the movie Signs. Oh yeah, and I remember ready talking
about going up there to see the filming and see
if they could catch.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Sight of any of the stars that were up there.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, just just pop back into my memory when you
were talking about you know, sound of music and all
these different I'm like, oh my gosh, that's right. I
mean movies too. Science was filmed there. I'm sure there
have been others that have been filmed there as well.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Definitely. Yeah, we have some movies and you can find
some of that content on our website. And we also
have other famous face like Pink Alicia Morris also from
Doyle Sound right. So yeah, and if you go to
our website, you'll see some of our other famous faces
that have like lived in Bucks County and given us
some here's my favorite place to like eat or shop,
(12:33):
and they're you know, they're they're really proud of it.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I love too, like funky museums that are not like
the big Like you go to Philadelphia, You've got the
big museums, right, but then you get off the beaten
path and you find these funky museums in these small towns.
And I don't know if it's just because I'm getting
older and I find the enjoyment in it, but like
I would have driven past those when I was a kid, right,
but like now these.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Are the coolest things ever.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Like you talk about the museum where things are just
hanging from the seal that I feel like I need
to go see that, like I.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Need to see how it is.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
It's really cool. It's a very cool environment. And there
actually is one that's recently open. They've got some limited hours,
but you can find it on our website. It's called
Vampa and it's all about like the paranormal. It's a
pretty cool museum.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, that's awesome, all right, So let's talk about something else,
because I find in every conversation I have now about
talking to people different counties, different towns, is things that
are similar to your ALE Trail, because I feel like
I missed out when I left Philadelphia that area where
I left Pennsylvania, the brewery thing hadn't quite blown up yet,
So I missed out on all of this. And I'm
(13:38):
very jealous that you have this really extensive ale trail
that goes through Bucks County.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah, so we have I think it's something like thirty
nine brewery locations, twenty some breweries with like you know,
just more than thirty locations throughout the county, and we've
kind of branded them all together as the Bucks County
Ale Trail and Gamifight because we you know, when people visit,
we want them, you know, to to move about the county,
create economic impact. You know, that's what our organization is
(14:05):
all about. We want you to come, have an amazing time,
create memories, and also you know, we're looking to support hospitality, jobs,
create economic impact. So the AIL Trail you come, you visit,
every check in is basically like one hundred points and
then you can turn your points in for either a
T shirt, a hat, or a hoodie. And every year
(14:27):
you know, will either tweak the design or the team
will you know, change out kind of what the gamification
is of it. But people love it. And there's all
the breweries are just so different. And there's some that
are in the center part of the county, the upper
part of the county as well as the lower part.
And in addition to the brewery scene that we've got,
(14:50):
we also have wineries here in Pennsylvania at in Bucks
County and the spirits. We also have a lot of
craft cocktail locatedas in Bucks County that are also situated
in a bunch of our small towns like Bristol, Borow,
New Hope, you know, new Town. This is when I
start to like start to name all the small towns.
(15:11):
If I don't get them all, I get in trouble.
But if you go to our website you can and
there's a towns in main Streets tab at the top
of the site and we'll list them all for you.
And yeah, people love doing the you know, getting again
the maybe the cocktail, have the dinner, do the shopping,
stay overnight at it. We've got all hotels and you
(15:32):
know kind of that lodging experiences you used to but
We've also got a lot of unique bed and breakfast
country inns as well as home shares. You know, we
know that's the way that people are traveling, and we've
got a lot of those along the Delaware River with
great views in Bucks County.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I remember interviewing somebody else recently and I asked them
what their favorite spot was. They were like, I'm not
allowed to tell you because I work for the so
hearing you talk about and trying to name all the downs.
It's funny because you can't play favorites when you're in
this role.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, yeah, and I don't mean to try, and you know,
just mention a few so people have a kind of
a nibble of it and then kind of go and
explore on your own. But you know, obviously our team
is putting a lot of content out, so you know,
we talk about the site a lot, but you know,
we're on Instagram, We're on Facebook, even LinkedIn. You know,
we're and we're sharing content all the time, giving people
ideas no matter what the season, you know, may be.
(16:25):
Now it's kind of that like, hey, winter get away
experience and then you know the spring is a great time.
Summers and obviously kind of like peak tourism season. The
fall is beautiful here in Pennsylvania, you know, and especially
in Bucks County. We were actually named the number one
leaf peeping destination last year by price Line. Yeah, and
(16:47):
that was in regard to like, you know, having the
leaves and the scenes as well as all the things
to do that you can experience when you come to
see the leaf peeping. So yeah, number one within the
United States and that was picked up by Travel and
you're a bunch of other media outlets, so we were
we were pretty proud of that.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
The tourism groups from New England send you death threats
for that.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
One man and our friends in the Poconos. We love
Poconos in Pennsylvania. You know, they have a lot of
fall foliage up there. But we're all, you know, we're
all friendly in the tourism hospitality we call co opetition.
We work together, but we're also competitors. And that's where
you know. We're situated between Philadelphia again and New York,
(17:28):
and we're so close to Philly that you can do
you know, do the stop in Philly if you're coming
up from that Maryland, d C. Baltimore area, you can
hit Philly, and then you can come up and you
can kind of do Bucks County hit a city urban
field and then come up and hit the countryside as well.
But because we are also very large, the lower part
of Bucks County has a you know, more urban fields,
(17:50):
and the more north you go throughout Bucks County, the
more you know, rolling hills that you'll see might actually
see some you know animals out there on the on
the side of you know, with farms and things of
that nature as you head up toward the upper parts
of Bucks County.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Refresh my memory too, because I'm trying to picture the
county map right now, and I'm pretty sure Bucks County
on the eastern side kind of butts up against New Jersey,
right like you're kind of right on the border.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yeah, so it would be New Jersey. And then right
across from New Rope is Lambertville and another probably like
small town but yeah, and then we're also across from Trenton,
New Jersey. Okay, to get people also, that helps give
some orientation, but it's yeah, Jersey, the Delaware River, and
then Bucks County and then on the other side of
Bucks County is Montgomery County, and then just below us
(18:42):
would be Philadelphia. And then you know the Lehigh Valley
is right north of Bucks County.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Right, okay, perfect.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
You know something else that you guys have a lot
of And I grew up in New Hampshire and we
have a lot of them up there too, And I've
always thought it was so interesting how fascinating they are.
But covered bridges. Covered bridges are a fascinating thing. And
you've got a cover bridge driving tour through Bucks County.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
We do it. We have a self guided one that
you can go on the website and you can take
and this is the one that fascinates me every year.
You know, the team we track this every week really
is you know, top pages, top viewed pages. The cover
Bridge driving tour is there and people have the opportunity
to kind of you know, meander through the back roads
of Bucks County and go through them and there they
(19:28):
are pretty cool. We used to have, you know, there
was one hundreds shout the state of Pennsylvania. Now we
know we've got twelve. And there's a Covered Bridge Historical
Society that maintains them, so they're in great shape. Photographers
love them, and again I mentioned, you know, there's cyclists
as well as you know those that Harley Davidson like
(19:48):
the Hogs will go through and have their like covered
bridge driving tour day. But it's a great opportunity. You
can break it up in two difference. There's an upper
and kind of lower part for the covered bridge driving
tourm you tie that in with breweries and you bring
it all together.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That's quite a weekend right there.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I'm just thinking about all the trouble I could get
myself into up there in Bucks County with all that.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah, there's one that they say is haunted called cry
Baby Bridge. Okay, well they say I think a mother
had thrown their child off the bridge or something. But yeah,
so we've got, you know, a bunch of the haunted
elements as well here in Bucks County, one of them
being a covered bridge.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I think I know that story, Like that sounds so
familiar to me. Cry Baby Bridge. I'll have to look
into that too. I do want to mention this too.
We mentioned Sesame Place really quick, and that is obviously
a big attraction for a lot of families up there
in Bucks County.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, so Sesame Place is it kind of in the
lower part of the county, very accessible from ninety five.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike also kind of root one within this area,
and it is it's actually celebrating forty five years this year. Yeah,
we'll have you know, they're gonna have special programming for
the for the birthday and it's all themed after Sesame Street.
(21:06):
So if your kids are, you know, fans of Elmo,
Big Bird, Brasita, you got to make sure that you
get to Sesame Place.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
It's fine.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I never had a reason to go, but now I've
got a four year old and my wife and I
have actually been talking about maybe doing like a little
day trip up there this summer.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
And then if you bring you know, if you bring
the grandparents or you bring friends and you want to
then leave the kid at the hotel. We have a
Parts casino is not far from Sesame Place. There you go,
that's got a great venue that brings in live acts.
There's a lot of live music that happens throughout our
county as well. So you know, it's all a balance, right.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, you seem to have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Yeah, and the so obviously we've talked a lot about
leisure tourism. You know, we're popular with groups small beatings,
but weddings is also really popular in Bucks County. You know,
brides and grooms love us. There's lots of farms, so
you know, we have that like rustic farm type wedding,
lots of it in like rolling hills, beautiful settings. You
can have your wedding literally in a castle, so that
