Lancaster Shopping
Downtown Lancaster is a great place to wander and shop. A few favorite spots include Building Character at 342 N Queen St., Madcap & Co at 310 N Queen St., Details at 30 N Queen St., and Ellicott & Co. at 45 N Market St. Leaving downtown, Alicia loves Pocket Books Shop at 903 Wheatland Ave. Another favorite shopping spot is Prussian Street Arcade with locations at 2200 Embassy Dr. Apt. B in Lancaster and 49 N Main St in Manheim, PA.
Bird in Hand Bakeshop
The Bird-in-Hand Bake Shop is a little farther away, but worth a trip! Going to Bird-in-Hand will take you out into the traditional, more country Amish area of Lancaster County.
Intercourse
The town of Intercourse (yes, Intercourse!) is probably what you picture when you think of Lancaster. Intercourse is more traditionally Amish and has a lot of great shops to visit.
Lititz
Lititz is a cute little town around 30 minutes from Lancaster. It's home to a lot of great shops and restaurants. You can also visit Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, America's First Commercial Pretzel Bakery.
Wilbur Chocolate Retail Store
We recommend the Wilbur Buds!
Bulls Head Public House
The Bull's Head is in the heart of Lititz and offers traditional English pub fare. Saturday: 8 a.m. – 12 a.m. Sunday: 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
