MusikFest is pretty incredible
Just moved here a couple years ago, but hadn’t gone to MusikFest until this year. It’s legitimately incredible. I’ve been to 20 different countries and at least 30 states. Over the years I’ve easily been to a hundred festivals, concerts, raves, bazaars, agoras, etc. And MusikFest 100% stands up to anything else I’ve been to. I saw a ton of talented, interesting artists tonight. Each one better than the next. The atmosphere is great, the alcohol selection is plentiful and flows freely, and the food options are totally on point.
Congrats Lehigh Valleyians. You should be proud of this annual shindig you’ve got here.

Awesome that you enjoyed it! We’re mostly proud of it, but sometimes annoyed. Bethlehem in general is an amazing city that has so much to offer outside of Musikfest though. You should absolutely check out the city if you haven’t already.
Beth is a cool town. Can I get your top 5 restaurants please? Yelp hasn’t been up to the challenge.
Nawab, Tapas, Jenny’s, Bayou are my top 4
Been to Tapas. It is pretty good. So far I think Molinari’s has been the best meal I’ve had there, but it wasn’t mind blowing or anything. I’ll check out those other places.
Apollo is my favorite
The Mint and Twisted Olive are great
No no no. If you want amazing Italian food go to mama Nina’s! Cheaper, better, bigger portions and the staff is great. It’s byob so we go across the street to Franklin hill pick up a few bottles of wine and go have dinner. Options to sit outside as well
Social Still, Molinari’s, Bolete, Whiz kids, The Bookstore.
Bolete is the best restaurant in the area and it's not close.
The Bayou, Jumbars (awesome breakfast), Molly’s, The Mint, People’s Kitchen, and Corked if I’m feeling fancy lol.
Nice. There are a couple here I’ve never heard of.
I forgot General Zapata! Best tacos in the Valley in my opinion.
I wasn't a big fan of corked, too overpriced for what it is, I'd rather spend that money on the bookstore and see some live jazz in an unusual setting, or go to Henry's salt of the sea and get something I wouldn't normally eat.
The Other Fish for sushi. Say hi to Yuri.
I don't have a top 5, but if you want some damn good tacos check out Aqui Es on Linden Street.
+1
If you’re up for driving 15/20 min east to Easton, Mesa has some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had! Only been once while visiting friends but that street corn is ridiculous, and the smoked Gouda mac’n’cheese is unexpected and awesome!
I’d definitely suggest trying Vegan Treats in Bethlehem if you’re looking for really good sweets - the cakes are impressive but the donuts are fantastic! And there’s a great ice cream place right next door!
In Easton. Somehow, this town is a true foodie destination. The variety and quality of restaurants here is bar none the best in the Valley.
If you like meat, be sure to try Rios in Nazareth.
Aqui es, the Edge, People's Kitchen, Tre Scalini, and the Backdoor Bakeshop, though the last one is a bakery.
Best Chinese takeout is China star on linden and it's not even close, nicks pizza makes great pizza's, calzones and stromboli, twisted olive off main st is a bit pricy but the steak on a stone is absolutely amazing and all their food is very, very good. Blue is also very good.
Edge, The Apollo, The Bookstore, Urbano (get the duck quesadilla, trust me), and Village Pizza on the Southside for the best pizza.
I also enjoy,
