A Day Guide to Lambertville

Looking to spend a day in the quaint riverside town of Lambertville?

Well, you’re in the right place.

Sitting just across the Delaware River from New Hope, PA, Lambertville is known for its tight-knit community, charming streets, and vibrant arts and antique scene.

It’s no surprise the town is consistently ranked among the best Main Streets in the United States.

Here’s a guide to making the most of a perfect day in Lambertville and its neighboring river town.

Start your day at Union Coffee, a local staple in Lambertville that’s perfect for easing into the morning before a day of exploring.

From there, dive into Lambertville’s antique scene, starting with The People’s Store — a massive four-floor antique shop housed in a 1830s building. It’s one of the town’s most iconic stops, filled with vintage furniture, collectibles, and unexpected finds at every turn.

Continue shopping through Lambertville’s antique stores and galleries, then make your way across the bridge into New Hope, PA. The walk itself offers scenic views of the Delaware River and leads directly into New Hope’s lively shopping district.

While browsing in New Hope, be sure to stop by Eight Hands Farm & Bee Co. Mercantile, known for handcrafted, small-batch goods made with a natural, sustainable approach. Inspired by their own bees, the shop focuses on high-quality ingredients and thoughtfully made products — a great place to pick up something unique.

For lunch, head to The Salt House in New Hope and make sure to order their burger, which has become a local favorite.

As evening sets in, catch a nighttime performance at the Bucks County Playhouse, one of the region’s most historic and well-known theaters.

After the show, return to Lambertville for dinner at Lambertville Station. The restaurant’s massive glass walls offer sweeping views of the river, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed dinner with a scenic backdrop.

End the night with a late-night cocktail at The Boathouse, right on the water — the perfect way to wind down after a full day exploring Lambertville and New Hope.
