| Looking to do a 50th birthday weekend, with women coming from DC, NYC, and New Haven. Any good spots near Philly maybe? Or NJ? Cozy winter vibes, not beach vibes. |
|
How much do you want to spend?
The spa at Woodloch is amazing, but $$$. Similar vibe at Mohonk (which is more of a drive for the DC person) |
My only sister is turning 50 so $$$ is ok. I don't mind more of the drive for me, DC person. The others are busier / more kids / less travel time helpful for them. |
| New Hope, PA |
| I immediately thought of the Spa at Woodloch as well. I love that place and it is well positioned geographically for people coming from New York and DC. |
| Maybe Brandywine Valley area—Longwood Gardens (make a rez at new restaurant), art museum, Winterthur. Depends what you’re into. |
That looks like a cute town - any hotel / bnb recs? |
Np: I am local to Philly and think it’s kind of eh. It’s cute-ish but I have had middling hotel/restaurant experiences. Maybe I just don’t know the right places to go. I think there is a nicer hotel in Lambertville (across the bridge). |
I'm also in Philly area now, and New Hope is nice and all, but I wouldn't spend a whole weekend there. The Lodge at Woodloch or Skytop in the Poconos would both be nice. You don't want to do NYC? |
| four seasons in philly? all the burbish places have less good food imo |
