Josh Sapienza, an Allentown, PA resident, is a Philadelphia-area hospitality industry veteran who became fed up with other restaurant review sites, which supposedly "rank" restaurants based on their aggregate popularity. He became frustrated scrolling through other people's reviews, which he feels can, at times, be "entirely too subjective" to narrow down and find new restaurants.

Not to mention, he wanted to do his part to make supporting independent restaurants easier during continued disruptive times. Restaurants are still reeling from the impact of COVID-19. Supply chain issues, labor shortages, and increasing costs continue to afflict operators and make trying new restaurants a riskier and more expensive proposition to consumers.
Along with partners, he developed a new restaurant review app called Courseยฎ, which helps users find places to dine based on their specific tastes. The app allows users to review restaurants, rate specific menu items, create bucket lists, and keep notes about restaurants all at their fingertips.
Hello!
I moved to Mcgungie area from DC to start my life with my bfโฆ whom i just broke up with.
Iโm very lost as to what to do and where to live. My things are in storage so I donโt want to get a lease and move all my stuff until I figure out if I am moving back to DC.
Im looking for a place to stay where I can have my room, ideally bathroom for weeks-months until I can get back on my feet again and figure out what to do and where to move permanently.
Iโm clean, respectful, donโt smoke, no pets, I Can cook and help out in the house (I prefer this so I can feel like I have a home again).
I do have a few standards for stay:
-no creepy guys please. Iโm not looking for any barter anything -hopefully something sunny so I donโt get too down on myself right now -no smoking house -no heavy dog smell -somewhere clean -slightly afraid of the dark (embarrassing), so if your house is somewhat haunted, please donโt respond lol
Iโd need to move pretty much just my clothes and shoes and bathroom stuff. Everything else is in storage. Iโd prefer if you have a bed but I can bring a mattress if you need me to.
Little about me: I like to make people happy so if youโre blue, Iโll always cheer you up. Iโm in pharmaceutical sales so I do have a job and I work m-f usually a flexible schedule. Iโm not planning on bringing anyone to the house. Iโll try to get away for the weekends. Iโm pretty heart broken so please understand if Iโm mopey until I feel like I have my life in order again. I love cats and used to foster kittens so if thatโs something youโre open to, Iโd love to pick it up again. If not, no worries I donโt have to. I ride motorcycles (bikes in storage), I dance tango, I like sewing and artsy things. Iโm athletic, I eat well, and I donโt mind cooking and sharing.
I donโt know how long Iโm looking to stay. Iโm starting to apply for jobs back in dc.
As for pay, Iโm okay with weekly or monthly. Iโve been seeing things for like 400-500 depending on the living space and Iโm okay with that. I took a pay cut for work and Iโm trying to save with the move so I think I donโt want more than that range. Like I said, I can help with house stuff too and cooking.
Let me know if you know of anybody or you can help out! Thanks โค๏ธ
PS: Iโm living out of a suitcase right now so if you want to trial and error for a week, that works too. We would obviously meet and chat before any decision too.

C.A.R.S Towing out of Bethlehem PA.
First I am not a victim and I am just tried of seeing this Tow Company pray on people. I know first hand how the owner runs his company and I'm ashamed of it.
Second this shopping center has been a safe haven for trucks for 20 plus years and has always been welcomed. Walking distance to many restaurants, laundry and banks.
There's been multiple facebook posts in the last few day and I just want to get the word out so no one else falls victim...
Edit 1:
Would also like to add that there nothing more than a 1 ton towing operation with no Medium or Heavy Duty trucks or drivers. They are driving the rigs from the lot. I can't even image how legal or even if they have the insurance to cover it.
People who acquired Teslas from the company in the past few months: did you have to go to a Tesla dealer/showroom to pick up or were you able to have your car delivered to your address in the LV?
Hey all, I have an 8 month pup and was taking him to a vet out in Jersey because that's where his first owners were taking him. I'm looking for a good vet since it's time for him to get fixed. Last vet said not to get him fixed till over a year and recommended table scraps.... Thanks for the suggestions
There is literally no reason apartments in Allentown should cost more than apartments in Philly and Pittsburgh. Landlords in this area are DELUSIONAL.
My job is letting me work 100% remote so i'm very flexible on where I can live. I'm looking for a home in a very suburban area; sidewalks in the neighborhood, kids playing in the street, big backyards, big homes. Don't need amazing schools but they can't be bad. I'm also looking for somewhere that actually has some entertainment in the area and even more importantly a good food selection (i'm partial to Asian. Hotpot, dim sum, ramen etc). Based on that, the best areas I can find are suburbs of Philly (either PA or NJ) or the Valley (closer to Allentown/Bethlehem).
With a budget of <650k (probably closer to upper 400s in NJ), where do you guys think would be the best spot? I'm having a hard time narrowing it down because it's such a large area. From spending the last 2 days just searching around Zillow/Google, these are the conclusions i've come to so far (let me know if anything is wrong).
- NJ has the exact kind of stuff i'm looking for, just very high property taxes. It does mean the roads are nicer, garbage pickup is free and there's things like potentially better snow plowing, but it hurts to know that when I payoff my house i'll still be paying a small mortgage in taxes.
- PA burbs have less options of what i'm looking for without exceeding my price range. There are towns that have nice houses but a lot of places just don't have the nice sidewalked streets, big backyards AND nice interiors (usually only 2 of those) without going into 700s (at which point properry taxes match similar style houses in NJ). The places that do have places in my range (Downingtown, Phoenixville) tend skew a bit more rural outside of their downtown street and are a little further from entertainment/food.
- The Lower Macungie area (west of Allentown) has the houses i'm looking for but is a bit far from the food (Bethlehem). I could probably get the nicest house here compared to the other two areas though. It seems like overall there's less entertainment/food in the area.
Do these look accurate to you? Do you guys have any other input to help me decide? I'm only vaguely familiar with the 3 areas so there's things i'm not aware of (I just learned that in PA you have to have your own trash service for example).
Hi y'all! Winter blues are kicking in and I'm trying to get creative with date ideas. With such close proximity to Philly, NY, and so many other places, what are your favorite day trip spots from the Lehigh valley? Preferably anything within a 3-4 hour radius.
I used to go 30 years ago as a child when it was trexlers but now as an adult it seems so small and sad. Animals in really tiny cages a giraffe that looks to be in a pen half the size of a basketball court is a good example.
Hi everyone! Iโve been researching this for a bit and wanted to post here to get some more ideas as most โwhat suburb should I live inโ posts seem to be closer to the city than I need.
Iโm looking for a place to buy a SF home thatโs within 10-15 mins driving of restaurants and shops, low crime, good schools, and maybe an hour commute to Philadelphia. Currently fully remote but job prospects are anywhere from 1-3 days in the office per week. Since itโs not all 5 I donโt need to be super close. Also have family back in the Lehigh Valley area so donโt want to be too far - Maybe an hour or so. Iโve seen suggestions in prior posts for Lansdale (Iโm only vaguely familiar with Montgomeryville or parts of Hatfield), Harleysville, Boyertown, Souderton, and Newtown. Boyertown/Souderton didnโt look like much was there?
Any suggestions or am I aiming for something that doesnโt exist? If thatโs the case, I can bend on travel times just need to pick a direction!
Hello! I've recently graduated college and moved to the Lehigh Valley Area, and thus away from my old group. I'm looking for players and a GM. If you or anyone you know in the area is running a campaign and is looking for one more, hit me up!
I'm fairly experienced in 5e, and would prefer that, though I'm totally down to learn a new system too! Thanks so much!
