Four years ago our clients Kara and Dan found their home with PHG and have been enjoying Brewerytown for the past 4 years. They have watched as new businesses open rather than close, have connected with neighbors, and best of all they have truly fallen in love with their community. When we reached out for some casual recommendations the texts flooded in with favorites. So here you go- a Brewerytown must-visit list from two local PHG VIPs.
Collingswood New Jersey is a sweet suburb that is as quaint as the name sounds. The central stage for most of the festivities is Haddon Avenue, a strip made up of a few blocks lined with small retail businesses, restaurants, and services. You can stroll the “Avenue” with friends for a shopping-filled afternoon peppered with coffee breaks, a treat from the bakery, or a magnificent meal at one of the many restaurants.

With the warm weather heading our way, we’re particularly excited about bopping around Washington Square West.
