Parc Bistro: Charming Cuisine in Skippack
June 24, 2014 by
Parc Bistro's slogan is “a little bit French, a little bit country, a little bit Italian,” and that about sums it up. Patrons rave about the lobster eggs Benedict, a highlight of the brunch menu, as well as the wood-fired pizzas, described as having a thin, crispy crust. Also recommended are the mussels, which are steamed in farmhouse ale.
The desserts are delightful, and include crème brulee, double chocolate cake and peanut butter coupe. Parc also offers a variety of dessert coffees, such as the DiAmore, served with a shot of Frangelico. During warm months, you can ask for a seat on the brick-paved patio.
Hours are Mondays through Saturdays, 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. (lunch) and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. (dinner). Brunch is served 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. Sunday dinner is served 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Find Thin-Crust Pies at Little Sicily Pizza
June 3, 2014 by
Chefs at Little Sicily Pizza don't chop and cook their fresh ingredients beyond recognition before scattering them across your pie. True to Italian tradition, they maintain the colors, flavors, and aesthetics of whole foods throughout the entire preparation process so that the finished product looks almost too beautiful to eat—almost.
Regulars of this King of Prussia pizzeria seem to agree that signature pies like the Meat Lover's pizza and chicken buffalo pie will persuade you to dig in, despite the artwork evident in every square slice of thin crust. Right down to the meatballs, pepperoni, sausage, ham, and mozzarella on the Meat Lover's pie, every pizza component is fresh and prepared just as chefs would in Old World Italy.
The same could be said of other menu items, which range from stromboli and calzones to pasta and sandwiches to veal parmigiana and chicken alfredo. Dine in or take home your meal here for an authentic experience. Visit Little Sicily's website to learn more about this KoP pizzeria!

Valley Forge National Historical Park: A Piece of Pennsylvania History
May 27, 2014 by
Whether you go for the history or just to spend a day in the park, the Valley Forge National Historical Park is a must-see travel destination. It’s one of the largest outdoor areas in southeastern Pennsylvania, with over 3,500 acres of park land, wildlife habitats, and historical sights.
The Continental Army camped in Valley Forge from 1777 to 1778 during the Revolutionary War, after which George Washington led them to triumph over their much more powerful British army in New Jersey at the end of 1778. Valley Forge is where the Continental Army trained and prepared for battle, and today it is an incredibly important landmark in our country’s history. Visitors can take guided historical tours, embark on hikes, or even enjoy a picnic surrounded by American heritage.
Valley Forge National Historical Park hosts a number of children’s educational programs, guest lectures, and other events throughout the year. The park is open from 7 a.m. to dusk year-round, except on major holidays.
