Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is a top-notch city. Located in the Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem is about 20 minutes away from New Jersey and is right next door to Allentown, Pennsylvania (in fact, thier city limits touch).
Bethlehem is split by the Lehigh River, which runs East-West through the city. The Northside, where most of the city's population resides, is known locally for its historic Moravian downtown and industrial quarter. Main Street has many little shops and resturants and is definatly worth a visit.
The Southside is dominated by the blast furnaces of Bethlehem Steel and features its own, newer downtown with many wonderful resturants. Soon, the area will be the home to a linear park called a greeway that will follow old railroad right-of-way bought by the city. It will also feature a casino owned by Sands Las Vegas on the old Bethlehem Steel land along with other developments, such as a hotel, the National Museum of Industrial History, a PBS studio, a youth performing arts center, and an events center.
Bethlehem is also the location for Musikfest, a summer music festival that features local and big-name artists and the best food you will ever have!
