Today was one of those perfect days, beyond perfect days, weather wise. I took a nice walk about in New Hope along the canal to avoid crowds... and decided to bite the bullet and finally dine out. I called ahead and made a reservation for one at the Black Bass Hotel in Lumberville.
Built in the 1740s, the Black Bass Hotel served as a haven for travelers, traders, and sportsmen.
The famous tavern had many names through the years including Wall’s Tavern, Lumberville Hotel, Temple Bar, The Rising Sun and finally The Black Bass Hotel. It's one of the oldest inns in the country. It's also where I have run into Nicole Kidman and Christian Slater on separate occasions. Over the years many famous have stayed here reads like a who's who, but for today it was just the Mistress on the back deck over looking the Delaware River. It was a perfect day and had the deck almost entirely to myself. Sitting mysteriously in the corner with huge wide brim and veiled. Passerbys only saw a figure, taking many sips of my libation under a hat.
It was a lovely relaxing day and evening.....the view!
