Today is leg day. So naturally, I’m doing my best to avoid the gym for a little while longer. And what better way to do that than take my sweet time sending this to you?
I hope your long weekend is treating you well. And I hope this edition treats you even better.
This is the kind of neighboring we like
Sometimes “community” is just saying, “I’ve got you”.
Neighbor In Need is a volunteer run organization serving the 19067 community. It connects residents who need a little short term help with neighbors willing to lend a hand.
Founded by locals Liz Kearney and Wendy Jacobson-Simon, the group helps with practical needs and supports people through difficult stretches.
No big production. No fancy fundraiser. Just neighbors helping neighbors.
So yeah, more of this, please.
Something new to put on the list
The team behind Guru’s Indian Cuisine in Newtown has brought a newer concept to Richboro.
Ardas Social Kitchen combines Indian food with a more contemporary, social atmosphere. The sort of place that works for gathering with friends and trying something new. And their proceeds go to animal rescue!
It’s on my list for our next food adventure.
Dublin has a name with a plot twist
Two taverns. One town. One slightly suspicious origin story.
There’s a long standing local tale that Dublin, PA got its name not from Ireland but from “Double Inn.”
The story goes that two competing log taverns once sat close together along the busy road through what became Dublin. Eventually, one absorbed the other, creating a rather literal double inn.
And somehow, Double Inn supposedly became Dublin. Which feels like a very Philly accent twist.
Your brunch side quest
Sometimes the best brunch move is skipping the obvious spots.
Aurora Bistro is a cozy spot near Peddler’s Village. What I love that I didn’t know I’d love? The French inspired menu featuring croque monsieur, croque madame, quiche, croissant, etc.
Basically, brunch put on a little French accent. In which case, maybe practice saying croque monsieur before you head out.
That’s it for this week. Go find a new brunch spot, learn a weird bit of Bucks history and do something nice for a neighbor.
See you Tuesday for a round of good news!
May your accent catch a little flair,
Cait, From Bucks
