I'm open to all food categories, mostly interested in dinner places. Willing to travel up to 30-40 minutes outside the Kutztown area. Thanks in advance. Tom Sat Jun 13 07:41:36 -0700 2009 12404 TAP 1 4770161 Kutztown Tavern is a brewppub for sandwiches and wings (get the pretzels as an app) for a nice meal outside the town itself but within 20 minutes of Kutztown Savory Grille in Seisholtzville Glasbern Inn in Fogelsville Blue Orchid Inn in Mertztown Sat Jun 13 15:15:30 -0700 2009 4769322 216123 folprivate 1 4774546 Per Google, 26 minutes puts you at Bolete near Bethlehem. I haven't had a chance to go yet, but reviews thus far are exceptional. Emmaus is said to have several good choices, and it's about 20 minutes. Going the other way, you could stop in at Deitrick's Meats. It's at exit 40 on I-78.

The Farmhouse in Emmaus is also excellent. There are many other great places in the Lehigh Valley in all 3 of the cities. Mon Jun 15 11:56:45 -0700 2009 4774546 216123 folprivate 3 4815652 I will be in Bethlehem area for a week for the Women's US Open. You said there are many great places in Lehigh Valley. Can you give me some names? Mon Jun 29 13:00:34 -0700 2009 4774650 68946 awaxdirect 4 4816066 Bolete tops the list, but there are a number of places on the North side. Apollo Grill is good. Johnny's for bagels; Blue for a steakhouse (though some will say overpriced). The US Open is between Bethlehem, Allentown & Coopersburg, so you can go south, too, though there isn't as much. There have been a lot of discussions re: Bethlehem & some for Allentown if you don't mind searching. If you're looking for something in particular, you can probably find it in the Lehigh Valley. It covers a lot of space and has a lot of ethnic niches with pretty good food. Mon Jun 29 15:05:15 -0700 2009 4815652 48031 JohnnyKBar 4 4836441 Sorry I was out of town for a week. Bolete - Apollo Grill Starfish Melt, Pacifico, Shula's and White Orchid are all in Center Valley not far from the Country Club Blue Manor House Edge It would be in almost that order in the Bethlehem Area BrewWorks or Starters for pub food Tue Jul 07 09:44:37 -0700 2009 4815652 216123 folprivate 1 4790034 There are lots of great places in K-town itself, although none of them is upscale - the Tavern is definitely as fancy as it gets 1 - La Cucina Mexicana - Delicious Mexican food; well-spiced. Great burritos and chilis rellenos 2 - TK's Sushi - Surprisingly good sushi place - fresh-tasting, and the chef/owner, Tammy (a woman) is very friendly 3 - Betty's - Great lunch place, with homemade soups, salsas, and salad dressings. Good wraps and salads 4 - Spud's - Not haute cuisine, but great french fries with all kinds of toppings, and a respectable cheesesteak Even the bagel place is pretty good, although Take 2 Bagels in West Reading is superior. The espresso place up near the school has a weird vibe, but makes a good tuna salad. The K-town airport diner also makes a very good chocolate shake.
