ABOUT STAYING IN EASTON,PA

Easton is an amazing community and I love it here for so many reasons. My building is right downtown in the historic district and a two minute walk to our town square. There’s lots of restaurants, great little shops, a huge historic hotel, a lovely new boutique hotel, the fantastic Easton Public Market, and the convergence of the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers all within walking distance. For a comprehensive list and map of all the downtown shops visit shopdowntowneaston. Below are some of my favorites that make up the heart of this city.

Hotels
The Grand Eastonian - Lovely big hotel within an easy under-five-minute walk from my studio. Lots of students book this place when they come to Easton because it’s so close.
Townly House - Gorgeous boutique hotel - less than a five minute walk from my studio. Pricey but truly beautiful.

AirBnb
AirBnbs like this one are few and far between in Easton for some reason so if you find one, especially downtown, book it.

Food & Restaurants
The Easton Public Market - our beloved market that breathed so much new life into downtown. Fun fact: their grand opening several years ago was the first day of my first plein air workshop in Easton! They have some of the best vendors around. Here are my absolute favorites:

Mr. Lee’s Noodles - amazing Ramen. Chef Lee is James Beard Award winning chef and has several other restaurants including nearby Bolete (another fun fact: I was super honored to be asked to furnish Bolete with paintings when they first opened years ago. It’s my favorite restaurant for many reasons but it has a special place in my heart because they gave me a chance to show my work back then). Anyway, the Ramen is spectacular and I’m happy bringing visitors there all the time.

The Modern Crumb - The croissants from this place are perfection…Everything is really. (Our first morning meeting will have some treats from here)

Mangia Carne - Butcher Shop. Sandwich Haven. Italian Market. You might recognize Chef Luca Manfè as the winner of Masterchef. He’s here in Easton making amazing food. This is a great spot for sandwiches and charcuterie. Luca provided amazing food for my grand opening.

Crepes at Casa - Savory breakfast and lunch crepes are amazing. Sweet crepes with Nutella and strawberries…omg. Andrea also runs the clothing shop Casa 401 and Queso at Casa! She provided some of the amazing food at my grand opening!

Green Vida - So many great fresh juices, vegetarian options, and one the best breakfast sandwiches ever.

Kabinett Wine Bar - My favorite place downtown for fine dining. Exquisite and artful dishes, amazing wine list, lovely staff. By summer 2024 they will open an amazing addition to their restaurant—a general store with coffees, teas, groceries, and a bottle shop.

Bar Torino - Exquisite wine bar with pizza and small plate charcuterie features. Right around the corner from my studio and perfect for lunch!

Thyme Rooftop Grille - modern cuisine, amazing views overlooking the Delaware River.

Sette Luna - Rustic Italian with excellent wood oven pizza. It’s one of my favorite places for group dinners after workshops.

Meli - Mediterranean cuisine, amazing cocktails, great atmosphere

Mesa - Modern Mexican with some of the best guacamole around.

Third & Ferry Fish Market - Fresh fish dishes and a hearty fish n chips dish.

Aman’s Artisan Indian Cuisine - delicious Indian dishes and they have a new outdoor dining courtyard

Tokyo Sushi - take out sushi right up the street from the studio

SweetGirlz Bakery - right around the corner and across the street for delicious baked goods and epic cupcakes.

Coffee and Ice Cream
Three Birds Coffee House - The best coffee shop! And it’s only steps away from my studio. They have a satellite shop called Nest in the Easton Public Market.
Bank Street Creamery - Sweet little ice cream shop down one of the cutest Easton alleys

Fitness (Just in case you want to get some workouts and/or yoga in while you’re here visiting)
Easton Yoga - Award winning studio with lots of classes and instructors and right up the street
The Valley Om - Another award winning yoga studio in Easton. This one isn’t quite within walking distance but only about a five minute car ride.
