Top Ten Radnor Recommendations

At our September Welcome New Radnor Families Hour, we asked Radnor residents to share one quick Radnor town recommendation. Here are the top 10:  

  1. We love Paola’s kale salad; you can add chicken to it

  2. Go to Capri water ice in the summer; note they only take cash or Venmo

  3. New Wayne Pizza is great for fundraisers, and they have a spare room

  4. We love Vic and Deans Grandmother pizza – it’s square!

  5. Radnor Memorial Library has a lot of study spaces – it’s private and welcoming

  6. Everyone loves Zesto's Pizza

  7. Gyphon Cafe has an upstairs; you can study and hang out there

  8. Gingy’s Dress Shop has lots of fun things

  9. You can’t go wrong on North Wayne Avenue – it’s got Main Point books, a local favorite, and The Tiger Shop, a longtime men’s clothing shop

Radnor A Better Chance Program

The Radnor A Better Chance Program (Radnor ABC) provides students of color from underserved communities who show strong academic and leadership potential with a home away from home while attending Radnor High School.

The Radnor ABC House opened its doors in 1972 after a local Wayne, Pennsylvania resident raised funds to buy and renovate a Victorian home located next to the Radnor Memorial Library on West Wayne Avenue. It is part of the National A Better Chance organization.

The co-ed program accommodates up to ten scholars every school year.
