Dorney Park
For the thrill seeker, this is the perfect attraction. On a hot day, this is also the perfect attraction, as it has a waterpark as well. It was 105 degrees when I was there, so as you probably guessed, I spent most of my time at the Waterpark side. As expected when you visit on a Saturday, in the 100+ temperature you will have to wait... More >

Not only are the grounds lush with flowers and vegetation, but their food is delicious. The original building was converted into the restaurant and kitchen, with the exposed stone and beams adding to this rustic feel, but the food is far from rustic!

The original building was converted into the restaurant and kitchen, with the exposed stone and beams adding to this rustic feel, but the food is far from rustic! For the breakfast, that is complimentary for all guests of Glasbern, guests can choose from a menu and also enjoy the variety of the buffet. My husband and I ordered Eggs Benedict, and it was honestly the best Eggs Benedict we've ever had.
Buy some fresh produce, or grab lunch at one of the cafes.

Glasbern Country Inn
If you are looking for a romantic getaway, this definitely fits the bill with a restaurant on site, nature all around, fireplace and jacuzzi, spa, inground pool, and minutes from shops and attractions. Only about an hour from Philadelphia, an hour from NYC, and 2 hours from Harrisburg, this is the perfect location for a weekend getaway... More >

Allentown Fairground Farmers Market
A large indoor farmer's market with everything from soup to nuts, literally. It's fun to explore all that this market has to offer. Buy some fresh produce, or grab lunch at one of the cafes. It's a fun spot to visit.

Carrabba's Italian Grill
Love Italian food? If yes, that's all the reason you need to go to Carrabbas. They have a large menu and large portions. Try it while you're in the area.

Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner - you can always get the comfort food you want. Personally, I love breakfast foods any time of the day, especially as a late night snack. They have tasty pancakes and omelets, so give it a try. More
