Bethlehem PA, Local Pubs, Food, etc.

[wings&wheels]

Offspring earned early acceptance to Lehigh University, we're very proud of her. We will be spending a fair amount of time there and I'm looking for thoughts from locals on good comfort food, local pubs, etc. We avoid chains like a plague, and I make an effort to try regional specialties wherever possible. I'd rather have a mediocre piece of scrapple or a Coney Island dog from a hole in the wall than the best Applebee's has to offer

Thoughts and recommendations please.

I like https://www.tworiversbrewing.com/ in nearby Easton. https://diner248.com/ is pretty good to if you are coming in from the north down PA-33.

I was born and raised in Bethlehem. Take this with a grain of salt as I haven't been there in over 20 years, but Martellucci's Pizzeria if you're in the mood for a pie was always my favorite. I see it's still open which is a good sign.

From the look via Google maps street view, that appears to be exactly the type of place we try to find. Thanks.

Stopped in at Two Rivers on the way home from Northern New Hampshire today. After eight hours behind the wheel it was time for a beer. Available salad toppings include the usual chicken or shrimp as well as a fried egg or the half pound hamburger patty shown here.

If low brow is OK the local hot dog chain Yocco's is great. Get a few chili dogs with everything and some pierogies. First started going there when I worked in Allentown during a summer in college (1998), married a girl from there so go back from time to time and it's always fun to go to a place that hasn't changed a bit in the decades in between.
