Check out what's new and exciting in the Lehigh Valley.
Tea Time
Feeling fancy? Make a reservation for afternoon tea, now available at Let Them Eat Cake in Nazareth. Enjoy a variety of sweet and savory treats like English cucumber dill sandwiches, pistachio chocolate opera cake and various scones, accompanied by teas like berry hibiscus and peach oolong. Bring the little ones—they offer a kids’ menu as well.
Expanding
If you’re a fan of Assante Ristorante Italiano in Northampton, there’s good news for you. The family recently opened Assante Italian Market in Allentown, and the store is chock-full of goodies like fresh sandwiches and baked goods, cheeses, oils and more. Stop in to snag everything you need for your own Italian feast at home.
Second Location
Winter is perfect for indoor fun, and if you love pinball and retro video games, get on over to Back to the Arcade’s second location, now open in the Palmer Park Mall. Just pay a single entrance fee and play all day on classic games like Pac-Man, Q*bert and Galaga, plus newer pinball games! If Palmer Park is too far, you can still visit the original location in the South Mall.
New Products
For personal care products with natural ingredients, look no further than Hippie Momma’s Apothecary and their newest items: lavender bath salts for a relaxing soak in the tub, a fatigue-fighting diffuser oil blend and three roll-on perfume scents made with essential oils. Purchase online or at various local markets, including Belleville Market in Easton, Crooked Row Farm in Orefield and the Bethlehem Visitor Center.
Collaborating
Southside Bethlehem’s latest indulgence is Bub’s Breads, a collaboration with Lit Coffee Roastery & Bakes and Monocacy Coffee. The menu includes focaccia, multiple flavors of sourdough, and pastries like cookies and scones. Gluten-free options are available, too! Check them out at Lit on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Now Open
Boredom be gone—there’s a new way to entertain yourself on the Emmaus Triangle! Board to Death Games opened in November and it’s the latest place where you can buy and play tabletop games, from board games like Sorry! to card games such as Magic: The Gathering. Later this spring they hope to host outdoor events in conjunction with the Emmaus Farmers’ Market.
