Allentown and the Delaware District A purveyor of "beautiful clothing for interesting women", the Allen Street Dress Shop is the place to go in Allentown for creative and chic clothing and accessories at reasonable prices, from such brands as Kiko, Anthropologie, and Cut Loose, as well as by new designers on the cutting edge of fashion whose lines are displayed on the store's website.

Allentown and the Delaware District The former Black Cat Vintage on Allen Street is the new home of this dynamic duo of fashion boutiques that moved in 2018 from downtown and the Elmwood Village respectively. Aside from that, though, little has changed: Trend Up is still where Giovanni Centurione purveys his über-stylish collection of contemporary clothing for modern urban males, with a range of hard-to-find designers such as DOPE, European Apparel, and Other UK represented, while MS Eye Candy is still a place to go for contemporary and fashionable women's clothing whose subtle yet eye-catching style quirks make them stand out from the mall brands.

Allentown and the Delaware District Featuring a bevy of imported fashion accessories and gifts: handcrafted necklaces, bangles, beads, earrings, sterling silver rings, handbags, a selection of Afrocentric literature, toiletries such as shea butter and essential oils, and hand-carved art imported from Mali, Senegal, Ghana and elsewhere. Dr. Lonnie Smith, the store's eponymous owner, is a friendly and interesting fellow — a local jazz musician renowned for his prowess on the Hammond B3 organ who's always around for a chat about politics, art, or current events, and often hosts readings of poetry and literature in his shop.
Allentown and the Delaware District Along with the Towne, Gabriel's Gate, and a few others, Colter Bay is one of a dwindling rank of "old guard" Allentown eateries that has persevered relatively unchanged (despite new ownership and recent renovations) for decades. The place takes its name from a small bay on Jackson Lake in Yellowstone National Park, and indeed a Western theme manifests not only in the ski-lodge decor (wood panelling and mounted antlers abound) but also on a menu where sandwiches, burgers, and pub grub-style appetizers come with unique flourishes. Notable are the Elk Alley burger, which features a patty of the namesake meat topped with crusted goat cheese croquette and seasonal fruit jam, as well as Pepi's Run Poutine, an authentic take on the Canadian classic.
