Located in Yardley, Pennsylvania, Shady Brook Farm is a popular destination for locals and travelers alike. Fall and winter are the most crowded seasons due to the events it offers.

Every weekend in fall, Shady Brook Farm will host its famous FallFest, offering something for all ages. During the day guests can take a wagon out to the pumpkin patch and pick out the perfect one to take home or see if they can find their way out of the corn maze. Other activities include yard games, obstacle courses, carnival-type games, slides and more. The area includes food venues, as well. People 21 and over can enjoy a cold beer, cider, glass of wine or a delicious fall cocktail; there are nonalcoholic drink options as well for the kiddos.

At night the area is still open for a variety of activities. Groups can rent private fire pits to keep warm and roast marshmallows to make the perfect s’mores. All weekend long there will be live performances by local bands.

My parents and I met some family friends at FallFest this past Saturday night for the band and some drinks. Shot of Southern, a country cover band, was playing that night, and I was impressed. They sounded similar to a couple of the famous country singers today. We enjoyed good drinks and fun company.

If you can’t make it during FallFest, make sure to set aside time this winter to visit during the light show. All throughout the farm there are different holiday-themed light fixtures, famous characters and more.

Versatile and Vibrant, Modern Asti Spumante Is Not the Simple Party Fizz of the Past

I recall attending a New Year’s Eve party in my early 20s during which our host walked around at midnight filling guests’ flutes with celebratory toasts of “Champagne” or Asti Spumante. Now, the former wasn’t actually Champagne, just a cheaply made domestic Brut more suited to the budgets of people just entering the workforce. But those of us who liked our bubbly on the drier side preferred it to what we viewed as a sweet, simple Italian quaffer.

Review: Casa Gangotena

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Facing one side of San Francisco Plaza in Quito’s Old Town, you’d be forgiven if you, at first, mistook the hotel for a palatial residence or estate, where the fourth or perhaps fifth generation of a family resides. Casa Gangotena, a Relais & Châteaux property, was, in fact, a home for many, built in the 17th century and later home to several presidents. The entrance reminds you you’re on very special grounds, from crown molding ceilings to opulent chandeliers to velvet couches, and staff guided me to check-in, beginning my very own regal stay.
