Fresh from the Farm at Newtown Farmers Market

by Andrew Risch

Aug 11, 2017

Where do you go when looking for the freshest meals and produce? There is only one place that can meet all of your needs: the local farmers market.

I have lived in Bucks County for a while now. I have seen restaurants and stores come and go, but one thing remains constant: the Newtown Farmers Market. Situated in the heart of downtown Newtown, Pa., the Farmers Market is open Thursday–Sunday and offers a variety of options from seafood to barbecue.

A co-worker and I recently went to lunch at the farmers market and took a look around. A pretzel stall, fresh seafood market, a barbecue pit and gyro shop are just a few of the options.. The many dairy, meat and produce sections scattered around the building provide eye candy while walking the aisles.

I decided to grab a pretzel from the stand, and I can say with 100 percent certainty this was the best soft pretzel I’ve ever had. After the pretzel, I decided to get my entrée from the seafood market. Being a seafood snob, I was hesitant to go with the clam strips and lobster bisque, but I let curiosity get the best of me and ordered both.

Unfortunately, the bisque was not the best I’ve had, and the clam strips came pre-breaded, a downside, but overall the food was palatable. Trying new cuisine and seeing new things make up half of the dining experience.

I Took a Trip Without Knowing the Destination … Here’s What I Learned

When it comes to travel planning, I’m a control freak. I book flights based on aircraft type and seat availability, overanalyze hotel reviews, know exactly what I’m going to eat or drink before ever setting foot in a restaurant, and capture every last detail in a lengthy Google document. So, when I recently had the opportunity to take a surprise trip — with nary a decision made by me — I was a little skeptical. The thought of relinquishing my travel fate to someone else gives me the shakes. However, a tiny part of me was curious about what would happen if I let go, so Type A personality be damned, I decided to face my inner planner head-on and head out on an unknown solo getaway.

Bellevue Syrene: A Legacy of Luxury Hospitality in Italy’s South

Overlooking the Bay of Naples from its cliffside perch on Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, Bellevue Syrene stands prominently as one of the region’s most storied hotels. The property’s sweeping terraces, ancient Roman vestiges and long-standing reputation for refined hospitality are part of what has made it a destination for generations of travelers. But behind the historic façade is a story not only of an iconic hotel, but also of family. For many members of the Attanasio-Russo family, hospitality is not just a career, but a legacy.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
