barigirl78 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) If you are in the mood for good seafood, there's a great restaurant hidden in the neighborhood across Hamilton called Youell's Oyster House. They have a great happy hour on Fridays. Edited July 30, 2018 by barigirl78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxschoenfeld34 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Anyone else worried about the weather forecast? I'm going Friday and I'm scared it'll get cancelled halfway through... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The one which runs behind the visitors side all the way down to Ott Blvd) They have closed it now these past two seasons and it is getting really difficult to find RV parking. where the trucks park? it's been closed for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlenI Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 +1 on Youell's Oyster House. Also from the 3rd through the 5th is an enormous car show called Das Awkscht Fescht in Macungie just a few miles out of Allentown. Google it. There are 2500 cars on display, parts swaps, food, etc. A favorite for Sunday Brunch is at the Hotel Bethlehem. A really nice spread, if a little pricey. $$$ There's lots going on. Check out the events calendar at www.discoverlehighvalley.com. I always park at the top of the hill between the back of the stadium and the big parking lot for the Farmer's Market. Let's keep our fingers crossed for reasonable weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's keep our fingers crossed for reasonable weather! It's the biggest tourism weekend of the year in the Lehigh Valley, so hotel prices could be a little higher than normal. However, I typed in the Allentown/Bethlehem area on TripAdvisor and there are quite a few hotel spots available for Fri/Sat. Hope that doesn't mean less interest in events this year! Although, there has been substantial hotel growth over the past 2-3 years. Hotel Bethlehem is wonderful, but it's right in the middle of Musikfest action so parking might be difficult.

GlenI Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I think you right Fred about the hotel rooms. In years past, it was very hard to find a room at the last minute. My stepdaughter and BF decided to come out for the show this time, and we booked her a room at our hotel just a few days ago. I remember in the mid-80's having to drive to Easton to find a room at the last minute! Not sure what's up with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done this with my rv every year. It was great sitting there, grilling burgers and literally having drum lines warm up right in front of us. Starting in 2016, they blocked off the entire street. Just didn't know if that was a permament change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then shave ice at the stadium for dessert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
