When we visited, I found the immediate surrounding area to look like your typical suburb. We were there on the second day of classes and noticed a ton of students in the nearby Target buying things for their dorm rooms. There was a shuttle that took them there and picked them up. Never having been to Allentown, I found it to be an interesting little city. We drove in one night to go to dinner and while it was kind of empty since it was a Tuesday night, there seem to be a bunch of cute and hip restaurants we ate in a really great one called “grain.”, and yes all lowercase with a period at the end. The place seems straight out of Williamsburg Brooklyn, LOL. We also happened upon the Allentown fair, a pretty big country fair with lots of farm animals and performances. It was fun! And it didn’t escape my daughter’s notice that Dorney Park is right near the school too.
