Wingstop To Open New Restaurant in Allentown

Wingstop To Open New Restaurant serving food and flavor in Allentown

Wingstop Restaurants Inc., the award-winning flavor concept with more than 1,850 locations globally, announced the opening of its newest restaurant in Allentown, PA, located at 1824 Airport Road.

The Wing Experts are now saucing-and-tossing signature flavors at 1824 Airport Road, Allentown, PA

After opening the Emmaus location last month, this will be the fourth Wingstop restaurant in the greater Lehigh Valley area.

Fourth Wingstop restaurant in the greater Lehigh Valley area

The restaurant will be owned and operated by Wingstop brand partner, Talon Restaurants, LLC, which has an area development agreement to open 15 restaurants over four years.

Talon Restaurants is locally owned and operated and is looking forward to serving the Wingstop flavor to communities throughout eastern and central Pennsylvania. The Airport Road location will open Nov. 30, with the Bethlehem Square location opening in the coming months.

“Wingstop aspires to be a Top 10 Global Restaurant Brand

and is expanding at a rapid pace, here in Emmaus

and across the globe,”

said a Wingstop spokesperson.

“We believe that everyone should have a chance to try our signature flavors that we believe put Wingstop in a category of one, and we’re excited to see Wingstop become a favorite, go-to spot for flavor in the community.”

The Wingstop menu features cooked-to-order classic and boneless chicken wings, crispy tenders and – launched most recently – the Wingstop Chicken Sandwich, all of which are cooked-to-order and handsauced and tossed in 12 bold and distinctive flavors.

Fan favorites included Mango Habanero, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Parmesan and Original Hot. Wingstop’s bold, distinct flavors pair well with a variety of house-made sides, including hand-cut, seasoned fries, and scratch-made ranch.

The new Wingstop is open daily from 11 a.m. – midnight, seven days a week. Guests can visit Wingstop.com or download the Wingstop app, to place their order for dine-in, carryout or delivery.

Youell’s Oyster House is the Lehigh Valley’s Answer to ‘Sea to Table’ Seafood

By Joe Wehinger — 2 years ago

Youell’s Oyster House is the Lehigh Valley’s answer to seafood.

Youell’s Oyster House is hidden in a cozy neighborhood of Allentown, PA within minutes of the Allentown Fairgrounds, Muhlenberg College and Cedar Crest College. About twenty minutes from the PPL center.

Youell’s Oyster House has History

Part of Pennsylvania history, originally opened in 1895. Then Gus Filipos, a longtime patron of Youell’s, bought the business in 1984 and his son Chris joined in 1987.

Youells-Oyster-house

Over the years they earned a reputation for excellent food. Their oysters, their Certified Black Angus beef. Their wine and craft beer selections.

And very fresh seafood.

According to their website the scallops (and presumably most of their seafood) is caught less than 12 hours before being served on your plate.

Pretty good.

The motto they repeat throughout their website is:

“Upscale dining

in a relaxed atmosphere.”

I was told a few times during a recent East Coast visit, that Youell’s has the best seafood in the Lehigh Valley, so I planned to try them out.

Let’s Taste Youell’s

I arrive on a Saturday mid-afternoon, take a seat at their half full bar and proceed to order an Old Fashioned, Caesar Salad and Salmon Tartare.

Youells Oyster House Caesar salad

Cuisine

Are the ingredients fresh? Is your dish well-plated?

The cuisine is excellent. Crisp lettuce in the salad. Fresh, creamy salmon tartare. The plating is inventive and inspiring. I can close my eyes later and still happily taste it all.

Youells Oyster House Salmon Tartare

Youell’s Ambience

The setting is comfortably disarming. The phrase they use is “Upscale dining in a relaxed atmosphere’ and they accomplish this goal.

Open floorplan, lovingly re-built after a devastating fire, pastel and light wood. Lots of outside light shining in.

Youells Oyster Bar

Not necessarily “romantic”, but more “homey”. Not really a first date kind of place, nor a “Saturday night” kind of place.

I am a bit surprised the customers ranged older (55+) considering the location is so close to colleges and other younger spots.

Service

As mentioned, it’s a Saturday afternoon and I am surprised by how busy it is. Feels like neighbors and regulars. Nobody seems “in a rush.”

My bartender is friendly and pleasant, but she keeps busy. The service is as relaxed as the vibe itself. Some prefer that, some would like a bit more attention.

youell-oyster-house-lehigh-valley-seafood

Hospitality

Does the restaurant deliver on the promise it makes to their customers?

If you’re looking for comfort and excellent food, this is a great place to try. Not “impressive” or romantic, but down home quality.

I’d go back again on a Friday or Saturday night to see if the vibe does evolve for a more sexy, date night feel. But my guess is, it doesn’t and that’s the way the restaurant and its usual crowd likes it.

Youell’s Oyster House has excellent seafood in the Lehigh Valley, but their relaxed ambience might leave some of their customers wanting more of an experience.

Located at 2249 Walnut St, Allentown, PA 18104

Lunch 11-3pm daily

Dinner from 11am daily

Lehigh Valley Haunted Poconos Park Offers Halloween Fun for Everyone

By Joe Wehinger — 2 years ago

On Halloween weekend Oct 28-29, Lehigh Valley’s Haunted Poconos Park unleashes fun for all ages, with a slew of events from kid-friendly trick or treating to genuine thrills, even sit down dinner and a dance party.

And you’re invited!

Poconos Park is popular for its central location in North East Pennsylvania, with easy drives from NYC, Philly and the Lehigh Valley.

This time of year the road trip is gorgeous. But as you get closer, your view turns from romantic Autumn to haunted destination.

You drive deep into the dark woods, fog creeps around your car, moonlight pierces through the trees, howling wind makes screachy scratching sounds.

Just then, you expect Leatherface to run out sparking up his chainsaw – and the party hasn’t even started yet.

All of the festivities take place within walking distance at the newly-acquired Pocono Park, a huge indoor / outdoor destination that hosts concerts, theater shows, corporate events, weddings and private gatherings.

This weekend it’s transformed into a Halloween Haven.

Pocono Park manages to create Halloween for everyone, from you littlest goblin who wants candy, laughs, and no scares to the group of friends who want scares and thrills. Every Halloween and horror lover has a spot here.

For Halloween, event company From The Roots has taken over and promises thrills, smiles and memories for you, your friend and your family.

John M. Oakes, From The Roots

John M. Oakes who runs From The Roots , loves putting on a show and delights in every twist and turn from ultra scary, to the cutest moments.

Earlier this week, we got a preview tour of the most popular attraction – Playhouse of Horror.

It’s a fast-moving, screams around every corner, standing – crawling – jump fest. Pro tip: Go through it next to your friend who screams the most — it’ll +10 the whole experience for ya. The Playhouse is fun, fast-paced, well-designed and has the mark of any good maze, when it’s done you’re high-fiving your friends and wanting to get right back in line to go again.

But that’s not all. Oakes has a banquet planned and an 80’s throwback Dance Party.

Check out each event listed below

KID’S TRICK OR TREAT TRAIL

4 – 7 P.M.— (Children Ages 12 & Under):

Prior to sunset, children will be sent along a fright-free, wooded trail to gather candy treats, participate in interactive games, and meet a host of kid-friendly characters—with plenty of photo opportunity stations for parents along the way.

PLAYHOUSE OF HORROR

6 – 10 P.M.— (Ages 13+):

Beginning at twilight, our “braver” and older guests can explore the more eerie dwellings of an authentic haunted house.
