Travel & Leisure Magazine just released their list of the Top 20 “Quirkiest” towns in America, with Doylestown coming in at #14. Our neighbors over in Lambertville also made an appearance.

Here's what they had to say:

No. 14 Doylestown, PA

In the heart of history-rich Bucks County, there’s a fine line between quirkiness and extreme quaintness: cutting-edge souvenirs include the locally grown sachets from the Peace Valley Lavender Farm. Doylestown also ranked well for its fairs, such as the annual Polish Festival, held at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa (a Black Madonna sometimes seen as a subversive), and the crowd-pleasing Beer Fest, held at the town’s former estate, Fonthill Castle. Readers also applauded Doylestown for brunch: try the Purgatory Plate (poached eggs over slow-cooked sweet onions, plum tomatoes, and Grana Padano cheese) at local favorite Domani Star.

What do you think? Is Doylestown “Quirky”? Sound off in the comments!
