Fancy seeing you here…

Why does it feel like August is already slipping away like a moment in time? (IYKYK)

We’ve got a fun couple of weeks coming up. Enjoy responsibly and I’ll see you out there.

Attend an event or visit a local business because of this newsletter? Tell them that Phoenixville Curated sent you!

So, What’s New?

Phoenixville has some pretty incredible stories hiding in its past. Hear some of them at this month's History on the Rocks event, which explores the Underground Railroad and its connection to Phoenixville.

If you’ve been to History on the Rocks before, you already know you’ll leave knowing way more about our town than you did when you walked in. The creative cocktails from Celso certainly don’t hurt either!

Overheard in Phoenixville

Overheard during the great lettuce outbreak of 2026

You guys are cracking me up with these Overheard submissions. Keep ‘em coming.

Day Trip Inspo: Easton, featuring @610Girlies

Just over an hour from Phoenixville, Easton is an easy day trip with a walkable downtown full of shops, restaurants, and bars. Park at the 4th Street Garage and head toward Center Square, making sure to stop at Belleville Market along the way.

For dinner, try out the rooftop at Thyme, upscale Albanesi, Indian at Amans, or Bar Torino. Then grab a nightcap at Bar Bix, Presleys, or Zen.

Big thanks to @610Girlies for sharing her Easton recommendations with us! We connected a while back over our mutual love for our communities, and I’ve been a fan of her ever since. Her account is so much fun and has me constantly adding new places in the Lehigh Valley to my local bucket list. Give her a follow if you haven’t already!
