Last year was the first time I went to Musikfest in over 10 years and I had a pretty good time. Sunday night, I returned to the annual Lehigh Valley event for some of that tasty food (Abe and I ate $32 worth of food between the two of us, the highlight being the Aw Shucks corn) and [...]

For two years now, I’ve worked for Lehigh Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau, the organization in charge of promoting Lehigh Valley as a tourist destination. Even though I’ve lived here for the majority of my life, before I started working there I didn’t even know the Convention and Visitors Bureau existed and never thought of the place I [...]

I first found out about this quaint eatery on the corner of Union and 7th in West Bethlehem last fall while I was on Twitter for work (LehighValleyPA). I noticed BlackForestDeli promoting all these delicious-sounding specials, particularly their homemade cream of potato soup (which turned out to be amazing, by the way). I asked a friend of [...]

So the Lehigh Valley is covered in snow, which reminds me of the first time I tried skiing. I was in 7th grade when I signed up to go on a ski trip with my church youth group to Bear Creek Mountain Resort (although back then it was called Doe Mountain). As we pulled up to the base [...]

I’m not sure who said we were gonna get this snow and what was going on with winter this year, whether it was our winter guru from his underground lair or his new buddy strutin’ around the farm yard — if you’re not hanging in Punxsutawney you’re missing out — but, sa-wweeeet!
Actually, your and my [...]

Just off I-78 on Hamilton Boulevard is Hunan Springs, the fanciest Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to and home to what I consider to be the best Asian food in Lehigh Valley.
Aside from the variety, quality and presentation of the food, what really sets Hunan Springs apart is the atmosphere. The building is a huge old farmhouse [...]

If money weren’t an issue (meaning, if I didn’t have to work), I’d spend my days writing New York Times bestsellers and my nights shooting pool around Lehigh Valley.
I love to play pool. In November, a coworker and I went to Indy for a conference and, of course, we had to find a place where [...]

For a couple years now I’ve been hearing about something called the “peace walk” that happens every year in Lehigh Valley. Officially called the Christmas Peace Pilgrimage, it’s a 10-mile walk from Nazareth to Bethlehem, two of the most historically relevant towns in Moravian heritage. And according to my mom, the purpose of it is two-fold: 1.) symbolize [...]

It was about this time last year when I started coming up with my “Things do in Lehigh Valley” lists. These three lists (Top 5 Plays, Top 5 Restaurants, Top 5 Overall) were my New Year’s resolutions for 2009. Since the year is almost over, I’ve decided to take a look at how I did.
Lehigh [...]

So while Kim was at the Halloween Haunt on Friday night, I was at Tatamy Haunted Mill trying to get my heart rate to slow down.
Before Friday, I’d never been to a haunted house; I’ve always thought of evil clowns and chainsaw-wielding psychos as cheesy. But when I was personally invited to Tatamy Haunted Mill, [...]
