Frenchtown: A Perfect Day Trip from The City

Small town charm, hidden gems, and a sense of discovery around every corner. Slow it down, follow the river, and discover something unexpected along the way. Pack a picnic basket, bring your bikes, and a blanket to settle into the afternoon—this is a day that unfolds along the river. Completely walkable and incredibly charming.

Start Here — Coffee & a Slow Morning

Begin your day at Early Bird Espresso—a cozy, welcoming spot to ease into the morning. Take your coffee to go… or don’t. This is your first hint that nothing here needs to be rushed.

Slow it Down

If you’re leaning into the slower start, step into DIG Yoga—a light-filled, calming space that feels like a quiet exhale. It’s the kind of morning reset that makes the rest of your day feel softer, easier, and just a little more intentional.

Brunch at it’s Best

Settle in at Frenchtown Café for a truly good brunch (fun fact, it’s a byob). The kind where everything is fresh, comforting, and just indulgent enough.

Along the River — Walk or Ride

From town, hop onto the towpath and follow the river. Walk it, bike it—either way, it’s one of those stretches where the pace shifts and everything feels a little lighter.

Make your way toward the Uhlerstown Covered Bridge, a tucked-away detour that feels like a small discovery and a visit back in time.

On your way back, stop at Sunbeam Lenape Park. Lay out your blanket, open your picnic, and settle in with a view of the bridge and river—this is your moment.

Wander & Discover — Shopping in Town

Take your time exploring Frenchtown’s collection of thoughtfully curated shops:

• Sunbeam General — a beautifully curated mix of home and lifestyle goods

• Black Swan Provisions — you’ll want everything

• Modern Love — clean, modern, and a little unexpected

• Blue Raven Records — take a vinyl home, obviously

Midday Pause — Brews & Bites

Stop into Wild Fern Brewing for a midday reset—brews, bites, and a reason to stay just a little longer. On weekends, food trucks roll in, and suddenly you’re not in a hurry to go anywhere else.

Choose Your Dinner Vibe

As the day winds down, Frenchtown gives you options—depending on your mood:

• Finnbar — cozy and candlelit

• Piazzi — Italian, always

• Cocina del Sol — tacos (BYOB, obviously)

• The National Hotel — sushi and cocktails to end the night

Something Sweet — Before You Go

End your day at Honeymoon Bakery for something sweet—because you’re not leaving without it.
