Lambertville Is NJ's Best Winter Destination, Magazine Says

LAMBERTVILLE, NJ — Turns out winter is just dandy here in Lambertville.

That's according to Reader's Digest, which this month named the city on the river as the "best winter destination" in all of New Jersey.

In addition to citing the great restaurants, shopping, and art galleries, the magazine highlighted the Lambertville-New Hope Winter Festival, which just wrapped up Sunday.

Here's what Reader's Digest said compelled its editors to designate Lambertville the state's best winter destination:

Just a few miles north of the spot where George Washington crossed the Delaware River into New Jersey on December 25, 1776, Lambertville offers visitors a quaint village for their own winter travels. Antiquing, dining, art galleries, historic buildings, and country inns await guests of one of the prettiest towns in the country. In late January, visitors can also enjoy the Lambertville-New Hope Winter Festival, put on with its Pennsylvanian sister city across the river, featuring a concert, Inn to Inn Dinner and House Tour, Taste of WinterFest event, chili cook-off, and other music and food events.
