obvious day trip choice for many Philadelphia-area residents. But while
New Hope once catered to members of the bourgeoisie looking to get
their hippie on for an afternoon, it now just caters to the bourgeoisie,
which is why it’s as crowded as the shore on summer Saturdays.

Lambertville, just over the bridge, is now the better and more peaceful
spot, and with about as many places to eat, drink and shop.

Stockton, New Jersey
This little borough in Hunterdon County is just pretty to walk through. But it
also has a farm market and some nice restaurants.

Merchantville, New Jersey
This little borough in Camden County is trying to revitalize its downtown
area. So far, it only really has a heartbeat stretch that includes a brewery,
coffee shop and tavern. But all three are high-quality and, taken together,
make the town worth the trip.

Collingswood, New Jersey
Collingswood and Haddonfield are technically separate towns, but together

they form a single Camden County stretch with a lot of activity. Pro tip: Do not
pick a place to eat until you get there and start walking around. There are too
many options. Other pro tip: If you want to watch a game that day, too, end your
walk at P.J. Whelihan’s at the edge of North Haddon Avenue in Haddonfield.

Rancocas Woods, New Jersey
Crafters and antique dealers line this little commercial stretch at the edge of
a Mount Laurel neighborhood. Not quite a downtown and not quite a yard
sale, Rancocas Woods is something unique in the region. It also has places
to eat along the path.

Medford, New Jersey
Many downtowns today have one brewery. Medford has three. It also offers
antique shops, ice cream and a great barbecue place called the Whole Hog
Café. That’s a rarity in South Jersey.

Walk the loop and choose your brewery along the way. You can’t miss at
any of the spots. JE
