There's no food that welcomes feeling of fall like freshly picked apples. In Lehigh Valley, you'll find a number of locations offering locally-grown varieties, both in pre-picked and pick-your-own options.

Looking for a way to beat the heat this summer? You don't have to sit inside in the AC to stay cool. Why not head underground where you'll be able to experience mild temperatures all year round?
