Downtown Allentown Market

Pretty cool little addition to the downtown Allentown area. My wife and I were headed to a game at the PPL center so we popped in quick. All the outlets had alcoholic beverages for sale which was cool. The food looked good and they have a nice selection from Korean, Sushi, Pizza, Fresh Kitchen, Doughnuts and Ice Cream. We tried some ice cream real fast. They also had a Spirits place that makes cocktails and has beers on tap. Very snazzy place.

Only a couple of months in operation, there is a nice variety of restaurants: coffee and pastries, Asian, Middle Eastern, Italian, Robert Irvine American, etc. Nice atmosphere of open seating with an industrial feel decor. Just been once and the food was excellent. BUT, entrance is not on a main street and it requires street parking with meters or a garage. Near PPL Center.

This is a great spot! Lots of unique and delicious dining options. Creative and comfortable seating areas. Free wifi, very clean and friendly staff. Definitely a great spot to meet with friends, grab lunch during the workday or come set up your laptop to study.

We came for the opening Saturday evening to see the vibe and taste at least two restaurants. Bright and inviting with background music, symbols of Allentown history and a layout that makes you want to explore. I compare it to destination restaurant zones in Orlando and Las Vegas. Many choices and appealing location.

We went right to Little Miss Korea because of past experiences at the Allentown fairgrounds location. Tonight my daughter got a dish of rice, beef and five different colorful vegetables topped with a delicious Korean sauce.
My wife and I share a plate of walking tacos from Fresh Kitchen. The flavors of those tacos is top notch! I think the cut of beef used was not quite right, it was a tougher cut of steak. Devoured it anyway.
We will go back because now for me downtown Allentown is a place to be.

The food was good. The place is new and nice and clean, but I didn't enjoy the experience. It's too hard to read the menus and decide what to eat. Easier-to-read menus with larger text and pictures of menu items would be helpful (for me at least), or maybe a brochure to pick up at the entrance with a more customer-friendly menu. However, I was happy to see a vibrant, downtown commercial area, and I hope, and expect, it will be successful.
