NEW HOPE, Pa. (CBS) -- Winter weekends are alive and well in nearby New Hope, Pa.  It's a lively spot for a fun getaway.

For a fun winter weekend in New Hope, check in at the Logan Inn (below), and hear about its resident ghost.  The playhouse is a block away, and its proximity to New York gives director Alex Fraser access to great talent.

"It gives us the chance to experiment and have fun," Fraser says.  "It gives established talent a chance to come here and try something new."

Familiar revivals are also on stage.

And there's no end to dining choices.

In the morning, stroll along Main Street and the canal.  You'll have lots of company when you wander into the funky curio shop, Love Saves the Day.

"Everybody who's trying to find their childhood toys," says owner Stasia Kauriga of the steady stream of clientele.

So, visit New Hope.  It's a gotta-go whirlwind winter weekend!
