238 Holcombe Way LAMBERTVILLE, NJ 08530

Picturesque Lambertville is almost always spoken of in the same breath as New Hope, its twin city across the Delaware River, with Lambertville straddling the Jersey side and New Hope, the Pennsylvania side. Lambertville is a touch bigger — with a population of slightly more than 4,000 — and a little bit more ornate and quieter than New Hope. Lambertville is known as the antiques capital of New Jersey and there’s a love and respect for all things of a certain vintage throughout the town. Downtown is a lovely stretch of beautifully preserved Federal townhouses and Victorians, and most of Lambertville’s buildings were built more than a century ago. Today, Lambertville’s stores include an art gallery in the former five-and-dime, an instrument store selling rare stringed instruments, and a bar that's packed floor to ceiling with nautical paintings and an old-school menu of cocktails like sidecars and gimlets.
