Too much to type here. Another Chester County TREASURE with over 50 restaurants / bars / a hopping center-borough. It is the county seat and is VERY old. Gentrification and unique architecture to boot.
West Chester is a Quaint Borough approximately 15 minutes away that has 30-or-so great restaurants and bars within walking distance of one another. The borough was established back when William Penn was alive! (No kidding! It pre-dates the establishment of the United States of America!
LOVE West Chester! A lot to do in a beautiful, old American town!
