The Delaware River: A delicious day-trip destination
Just north of Philadelphia a series of small riverside towns are peppered with food destinations.
Sometimes you need to get out of town for a day, said TastingTable.com. Just north of Philadelphia—and 75 minutes from New York—a series of small riverside towns on either side of the New Jersey/Pennsylvania border are strung together by public parkland and peppered with food destinations. Point your car toward New Hope, Pa., and start exploring when you’re closing in. You’re ensured at least one busy day of fine eating.
Bobolink Dairy & Bakehouse Milford, N.J. Bobolink’s raw-milk cheeses and thick-crusted breads are available at New York farmers markets, “but there’s nothing quite like getting a loaf of duck-fat-and-garlic ciabatta straight from the smoky oven.” Leave time for a tour of the milking parlor, creamery, and cheese cave. 369 Stamets Rd., (908) 864-7277
Stockton Market Stockton, N.J. This downtown market was saved by owners who decided to make it a Friday-to-Sunday-only business featuring the products of local farmers and food vendors, including Texas-style barbecue and chocolates from the Painted Truffle. 19 Bridge St., 609-610-3532

Nina’s Waffles New Hope, Pa. Where to begin with New Hope? Maybe across the river in Lambertville—for an iced coffee at Rojo’s Roastery. You can walk back across the bridge for dinner at “quietly elegant” Tastebuds. In any case, leave room for dessert at Nina’s. The waffles here are made with pearl sugar and topped with local OwowCow Creamery ice cream. 31 W. Mechanic St., (215) 862-1660
