Rick Cycle Shop

Founded in 1898 by brothers Frederick, Otto, and Thomas Rick, this is the second-oldest continually-operating bicycle shop in the U.S. — in fact, Buffalo native Albert Krushel, who helped the American time trial team to a bronze medal in the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, rode a bike from Rick. Today they stock new and used bicycles from all the top brands, as well as helmets, bicycle shorts, patches, pumps and tool kits, lights and reflectors, water bottles, and other accessories. Professional staff are always on hand to recommend the right product for your individual needs.

Patricia's Antiques
Patricia's is nothing if not a fleeting glimpse of a bygone, pre-gentrification Allentown: it's a rather ramshackle junk shop at first blush, but dig deeper into the clutter and you'll come up with unique finds pretty much every time in the realm of vintage fashions, furniture, and decorative bric-a-brac. The prices, too, seem to have changed little since back in the day — they're a far cry from what you'll find at most of Allentown's remaining antique shops. Opening hours seem to be purely by chance; there are none posted either at the store itself or anywhere online.

Giacobbi's Cucina Citta
Giacobbi's is not a cooler-than-thou hipster hangout by any stretch of the imagination, but also not out of place in the Allentown restaurant scene: the overall rule of thumb is casual Italian with a few upscale flairs here and there, and favorites on the menu include magnificent takes on chicken parmigiana and Milanese, an "Italian Nacho" appetizer (a flat pasta sheet fried crispy and topped with Italian sausage, hot peppers, olives, cheese and spicy marinara sauce), copious pasta dishes available either in individual portions or "family style", main course salads, and — above all — a slate of a half-dozen specialty artisan pizzas (or create your own). A decent selection of craft beers, wines and cocktails are available at the bar, and service is topnotch.
