Why does the Open Air Market (Gay Street closure on weekends) have different start/end times?

This year it closed September 29th, last year was late October, 2022 was early September. Any reason why it just isn’t the same each year?

Best Honey Chicken?

Since I moved here I haven’t been able to find a good honey chicken. Back home I had this delicious chicken at my fav Chinese place, but being 600 miles away means I can’t have it except once a year. Anywhere nearby that has good honey chicken? Im not talking about the flat chicken with a slightly sweet sauce. I want some crispy, big pieces with a sticky and sweet sauce. Outside of WC is fine too. Bonus points for mall Chinese places. They are usually the best.

Golf Lessons near WC / Downingtown

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend golf teachers/coaches in the area for private lessons. I have been playing casually for the past year and am really looking for an opportunity to elevate my game, specifically using the Driver and Chipping. I have seen some places nearby that do lessons, but I am really looking for some input or recommendations on who to go with.

activities/places for seniors?

I’m an activities director in West Chester and am always looking for new places to take my residents around the 30ish minute area. Restaurants, museums, parks, etc!

Some are limited mobility but more just need wheelchair/walker accessibility.

Any recommendations?

Any casual musicians in the pop punk/post hardcore/alt scene looking to jam, hit me up

39M here, was in punky bands back in my high school/college days, played with a cover band for a few years in the mid 2010s. I write a lot of original riffs (some complete songs too). I’m working on getting my hardcore scream voice back. I’m mainly a guitarist, but also picked up an edrum kit (Roland td17 kvx2) to lay down some tracks and practice drumming (I’m OK, but guitar is my main instrument). Been inspired after seeing all these 20 year anniversary shows for bands like Finch and Underoath!

Vegetarian-friendly restaurants in the area

Seeking a restaurant nearby (can be anywhere in chesco, montco, delco, or even Delaware) that can accommodate my family members who are vegetarian, but that also has a typical menu of meat options for the pickier eaters that will be with us. We’ve been to Harvest in Glen Mills before, but they reported that their vegetarian plates sadly did not have a lot of flavor- so we’re really hoping to find somewhere better that’s versatile and able to pull off a strong vegetarian menu.

ETA: I should also add that our vegetarians have been raised on that diet, so they specifically are not interested in imitation-meat options

Parks with lots of pine trees

Looking to get family photos done and would love to go to a Christmas tree farm but it seems most of them charge an hefty fee for take photos there. Anyone know of parks nearby that may give a similar vibe? Or Christmas tree farms that don’t charge?

New Years Eve in West Chester

I have a friend visiting over New Year's Eve and I'm contemplating bringing a group into West Chester. Our group's preference would be to do a self-guided bar crawl, but I'm curious if most of the bars do a ticket-based NYE thing or are closed altogether.

Does anyone have recent experience with New Year's Eve in West Chester and can offer some guidance on what they found?

anywhere around who makes a good smashburger

i haven’t been able to find a good smash burger anywhere. in my opinion a smash burger is supposed to be on a potato bun, and i don’t think i’ve ever found a place that does it around here. this may be controversial to some but brioche buns are trash, and i’m tired of all the burgers i find only being on brioche

Apartment Building Recommendations

What are some apartments you would recommend that have overall good reputation, relatively safe, no roaches, possibly a gym? My budget is $2000 for a studio or 1 bed room but really would like to spend closer to $1700 if possible.

I have read some pretty concerning reviews on some buildings, so coming here for suggestions.

Overnight parking close to downtown?

Hello,

I will be visiting West Chester for several weekdays this week and I need to park my car for all the days, including overnights. Looking at the parking garage websites, I only see hourly rates and nothing about leaving a car overnight. Is there a garage or lot where I can do that?

Men's Haircut Recs?

Hey all, I'm in between stylists/barbers atm and am looking for a change. I have mostly gone to salons over the past few years but I am definitely open to a good barber that can do hair other than short cuts.

Have hair down to my back, probably looking to go to something medium long (no longer than shoulder length). Looking for a stylist that wont just do a women's cut on a guy or a barber that is good with hair other than traditional men's cuts.

I'm good with anywhere between like West Chester and Wayne.
