There is a county parking garage accessible from Broad St and/or Main St, but you will need to walk a few blocks or wait for the shuttle. There are very nice places to eat there, but they are small and usually booked or very busy on the weekends. Weekday or daytime (before 6 PM), in general, is a good time to visit and pop into a local eatery with a good chance of getting immediate seating and maybe even on street parking. Walking around town and stopping in the small shops is something us locals love to do. The Bagel Barrel is very popular for morning coffee or lunch time sandwiches on a bagel. the bagels are made on site and are wonderfully fresh. Doylestown is a very family oriented place. On any given weekend, there is likely to be some type of event in the town center or nearby. There is even a Santa in the Christmas season. You can check the Borough website under visitors and events. Doylestown Borough has been named as the third best place in America to live by Leaf Filter North, Inc. "Doylestown is in a great location if you prefer to live in a smaller community while still living close to a big city like Philadelphia. It’s considered a borough, but don’t let that fool you.
