Ms. Liz and Ms. Amy were the perfect companions at the Brandywine museum in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. This is a very pretty museum dedicated to American art and is located in a 19th century grist mill. The museum is known for its collection of art by three generations of the Wyeth family as well as its dedication to still life paintings and illustration art. Staring at art for longer than an hour does tend to make one rather hungry - so off we sauntered to the Simon Pearce restaurant a few miles away where Liz had reserved a table by a window seat overlooking the river.
Simon Pearce is originally from Kilkenny, Ireland where he dedicated himself to the art of pottery and fine glass blowing. In 1981 he moved his facility to Quechee, Vermont where he completed the renovation of an old historic woolen mill. He opened his second Simon Pearce restaurant with a retail shop on the site of the former Lenape Inn in the year 2000 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Visitors not only have the opportunity to enjoy superb American cuisine but they can also browse for original glass and pottery in a retail store next door.
