I love food! I think I may have hinted at that once or twice in this space, I mean, except for the tomatoes. But even those, I have learned to at least try. I don’t consider myself any kind of chef or foodie expert, I just like eating and I think about it a lot. I’ve recently given up sugar and nearly all processed or packaged foods which makes eating out a little trickier, but not impossible, maybe even tastier. A few weekends ago my sweet and super-fun friends, Martha and Neil, invited me and my good friend Jackie, to go dining in Doylestown, PA.
There are so many cute restaurants in this town that it was hard to choose just one for dinner. I will definitely be going back!
We started out at the Station Tap House. This place continued the “It’s Hard to Choose” theme because they have so many beers on tap. If you’re into craft beers (Like I am!), this is a good place to do some tasting. We each chose a different brew and enjoyed the Happy Hour crowd.
For dinner, we chose The Hattery, which is the bar and restaurant of the Doylestown Inn, a quaint little historic hotel in the middle of town. The restaurant’s full name is The Hattery Stove & Still which combines a few things that the building used to be – a hattery, a cigar shop, a shoe store, a restaurant and a speakeasy. There are so many cool things in the decor of this place. I wish I’d taken more and better pictures, but here are a few things I enjoyed…
Hanging hat lights above the upstairs bar…
..and unicycle bar stools!
I didn’t understand why no one else was riding their stool.
The food was yummy! We shared some deviled eggs to start…
…I had the salmon with mushrooms and potatoes…
…and Neil offered to share his fries. How cute is that little fry basket?!
My favorite part of the restaurant were these big frames hanging on the wall with all these great quotes about food.
Like this…
and this!
They reminded me of something my aunts often say, “Sharing food is a sign of affection.”
Because my favorite part of the night was… my friends! I love food, but I love it even more when I’m sharing it with my people! Thanks for a great night in D-town, Martha and Neil! You two are always a blast! (I’m not sure what kind of blast is happening to the lady behind us, but I hope she had as much fun as I did.)
