Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Despite the fact that most students consider Bethlehem nothing more than a ghetto, the town actually has some surprisingly good restaurants. On the south side alone, there are at least 10 quality establishments, and once you cross over the bridge into historic Bethlehem, you’ll find a cluster of very classy restaurants with excellent food. Students with access to a car will open themselves up to a whole new world of possibilities, as there are some very good eateries in nearby Allentown. There definitely seems to be enough variety for everyone to find a place they enjoy. The biggest surprise to most students upon coming to Lehigh is how many good restaurants there actually are.

On any given day of the week, you’ll find Goosey Gander and Deja Brew packed with students clamoring for their terrific sandwiches. For anyone in need of great food at New York City prices, there’s the Apollo Grill, Hotel Bethlehem, and Edge. For good American food at a more reasonable price, check out BridgeWorks and Bethlehem Brew Works. Even the bars in Bethlehem have very good food—the Ho and J.P. McGrady’s are both student favorites.

Lots of Local Restaurants

There are plenty of smaller restaurants on the south side within a few blocks from school. The north side, about a mile or so away, has a nice historic Main St. district with some slightly more expensive and nicer restaurants. There's also a Wendy's and a Subway within a few blocks of campus.
