Allentown and the entirety of the Lehigh Valley have been my home for the past eight years of my life, and now it’s your new home too! I still discover new areas and hidden gems of the Lehigh Valley every year. With your Muhlenberg ID, every single one of you has access to use the LANTA bus transportation system free of charge. Our primary bus stop is located right across the street from the library, but you can also find more as you walk along Chew Street. I encourage all of you to use that to your advantage and explore different areas of the valley! Here are some of my favorite spots:

SPORTS & SOCIAL
This beautiful looking sports bar is located right in the heart of center city Allentown. What’s great about this spot in The Valley is that there is no membership fee required! Anybody can walk in there and order whatever they please, while enjoying watching your favorite game on a big screen! There are also other activities everyone can join in on, such as arcade games galore.
LEHIGH VALLEY MALL
This is one of my favorite spots in the Lehigh Valley, and one of my go to picks for weekend trips with friends. Not only do you have over 100 stores to choose from, but also plenty of restaurants to go to, such as the Lehigh Valley’s one and only Cheesecake Factory, as well as other household names you may know well like Chick-Fil-A and Auntie Anne’s.

DORNEY PARK
I work here! I’m sure you all know this one! You can actually see Dorney Park from the top floor of some of our buildings like Shankweiler. If there’s a time to visit Dorney Park, it would be right now! The park comes alive the most during Halloween season with their annual haunts. I highly encourage everyone to take at least one trip over there. It’s a five minute bus trip away and it is only open for one more month! Make sure to not miss out on the all new “Iron Menace,” the park’s newest and best roller coaster that opened up in the beginning of 2024 (maybe I’ll be the one strapping you into your seat??)!
