Log on to google maps and search for New Hope, PA. New Hope (NH) is a small town in Pennsylvania and one of most beautiful one in the Buck's County.
The town is about 18 miles from home, so the easiest way to get there is to drive. We started at about 8p.m., which was a stroke of luck. Today being a Saturday we woke up at around 1:00p.m. in the after noon, the reson being that yesterday we all were at JB's (a local pub) till around 3a.m. playing pool and listening to the live band. So finally we managed to wake up at 1:00 and after getting thru the morning chores, we headed, obviously for lunch. Flavours of India, an indian restarurant nearby was the place where we were headed. The lunch was great, especially for Milind, hes got here from Bombay and he was more than happy to eat all the tandori chicken and chicken tikka, coz he couldnt eat it in Bombay, due to the bird flue. We all wanted to hit the bed after the lunch but then milind and nitin were visiting us from NY and would have killed us if we would have taken them back home. So we headed to Franklin Mills, a huge shopping mall.
After doing some tp (timepass) for a couple of hours we headed back home. On the way back we planned to visit NH in the evening. As we didnt want to reach there late every one took their showers within 10 mins. I guess we set a new record, three guys taking shower and getting ready in under 10 mins, man beat that....
Ashu and AJ had already been to NH but for the rest of us it was our first time. Vish too had been there once but, during the day, so technically it was his first time too in the evening. NH is kind of a bikers heaven, coz when you enter the town you see a lot of Harley's and Honda's. But then the first impression that i got after getting to NH was a lot different. It felt as if i was walking in Mahabaleshwar, it seemed like a hill station in India. The entire town or atleast the part of town that has all the action is just on street, called the Main Street. You will see a large number of shops, jewelery, clothing, antiques, gift shops and other stuff lined on both the sides of the street. You can find a pub, restaurant, bar & grill every 10 steps, each one having its one unique life and ambience. So we walked the main steet and then walked to one of the famous pub "Hawana". It had a live band playing all retro stuff, it was fun to listen to the music while we had dinner. If you ever visit Hawana, dont miss out on the Chicken Fajhita, one of the best i have ever had, too good.......I am surely gonna have it again, someday.
After the dinner we settled in the pub, the real pub. The live band palyed until 12 and then the DJ took over and spinned some good music to dance....so we were 6 bachelors dancing the cool bombay moves in a small town in US. And the locals joined us a couple of times to have fun too. Before we knew it was already 2:00a.m. so we had to hit the road and get back home. And now after writing this post i am gonna sleep......my favourite sport!!!
