This all changed on the 22nd of December because they hosted an incredible market there that day. The name of it escapes me, but it was a creepy Christmas extravaganza! Right up my alley. I had so much fun talking to and buying from the vendors and spent way too much on presents for loved ones. It was two floors, but the elevator was easily accessible, which is a nice touch for us disabled folks. The upstairs was just as lovely. The staff was incredibly helpful and didn't appear to hate their jobs, which counts for something. The smiled as I got my drink at the bar, they smiled when I was on the first floor and needed to throw something out, and they even smiled as I walked in. They all do a great job there, especially with the place so clean and decorated for the holidays. I had so much fun here. I shopped. I drank. Heck, I even sat with Krampus. Merry Creepmas. 5 stars

Sunday brunch. We came in after seeing a Facebook post…read moreadvertising brunch from 10-2 on Sundays. We arrived at about 10:30am. First off, the property, the building, what we could see of the grounds is beautiful. It's still snow covered and cold, but I bet this place is lovely in the summertime. Through the front entrance into the grand foyer, there are no signs, no host, or any indication of where to go, so we looked in different doorways, found a bathroom, a lounge, a long hallway; eventually a gentleman spotted us wandering and asked if we were here for brunch. When we entered the dining room, the friendly server came by and told us to sit anywhere, pointed out the coffee and juice and food in the next room. She was a doll. There were 2 guys eating in the dining room, and by the time we left, only one more table of ladies came in, not busy at all. It was quite inexpensive for what they offered (2 adults $40) you could add mimosas or something else from the bar, if you wanted a beverage other than juice, water, coffee, or tea. The food was just ok, there were plenty of lunch and breakfast choices, the mac and cheese was good, their take on Italian Wedding soup was good, but it was mostly just ok. Some things were obviously sitting a while, e.g. the Minestrone was the consistency of chili, but hubs tried it and said it was good. Parking, unfortunately, is far from the entrance, and the long walk to the door very icy, unsalted and dangerous. Maybe we try again in better weather, we'll see.

The asset manager for the property, Jackson, is incredibly responsive to all requests. Building is cleaned regularly and comes with cool amenities (large gym on the first floor, private parking lot, in-unit washer + dryer, free cable TV, tons of natural lighting in each unit, basement storage, first floor lounge area, etc.). I couldn't recommend the Sidway enough to any prospective apartment hunter!

Late last year my wife and I found ourselves homeless. Well, between homes, but "home-less" no…read moreless. We were waiting on a new build that was postponed and this caused us to be in a position to have to vacate our old house, leaving a three months window in which we needed to find a place to stay. It was a hard, exhausting search when my wife and I needed to find a place in the interim, as most landlords/apartment managers didn't care to rent short term. The first place I looked was The Sidway after seeing a few of its advertisements for apartments on Craig's List. I met with one of the apartment managers named Laura. She showed us the building and the prospective apartments. We were originally looking for a one bedroom, and liked the one bedroom she showed us (it was around $900). However, our needs started to gravitate towards a two bedroom due to the fact that we have a baby and we were starting to realize that babies cry a lot. We loved the two bedroom, but had just begun our search for a place and were convinced at the time that we could find an equally pleasing abode for a cheaper price (two bedrooms are around $1300 a month). WE WERE WRONG. About a month later we had ran the gauntlet of smelly, dirty, expensive, stupid apartments in less desirable places in the downtown area, many of which had weirdoes for landlords (one guy had a 7 ft. tall Russian woman stand behind him the whole time he showed me the apartment that stared me down like a feminine Ivan Drago. Another one, an old lady wanted us to live in her attic...probably, I assume, until she could poison us and make fancy hats out of our skins). Good apartments were ranging in price from $900 to $1500, but almost all the cheaper ones weren't on The Sidway's level and wouldn't rent to us short term. Man, was I glad to see that The Sidway had a two bedroom vacancy. As I said, our two bedroom apartment went for about $1300, but that price included Time Warner cable and water. Heat is also included in the building, but each apartment has a heat pump powered by the electricity (the electric bill is the only utility not included in the price). However, even though we used the heat pump often, our electric bill's increase was very minor. They had and still have a "Home Town Heroes" discount (military, fire fighters, etc.), where they take $250 off the first month's rent. The area is as good as it gets: practically across the street from Shea's Theater and right on the border of Allentown. We were within walking distance of great restaurants, downtown entertainment and my work... Ok, I may have been a little too excited to walk to work. Big deal. The building is mainly comprised of younger professionals, many of whom live alone or without kids (we were THAT couple that brought a baby, but no one seemed to mind or notice). It seemed like everyone had a dog though, so pets aren't an issue. The accommodations were top notch. There is a storage cell in the basement for each apartment, a couple of recreation games (ping-pong & air hockey) for you and your guests, a free coffee bar in the downstairs lobby, a gym/exercise room and a clean and tidy laundry room that costs under $3 a load. The Sidway even has its own online portal that you can pay your rent and keep track of other important information. Lastly, and perhaps my favorite reason that you should rent from The Sidway: the staff is exemplary. We did most of our dealing with another property manager named Olya. She never wasted anytime getting back to us with any question we had and was always polite and professional. If we ever even thought about a complaint she immediately worked everything out for us. Any minor service issue (light bulb out, something not working, etc.) was handled by Paul, and he was always prompt and courteous just the same. And then there's Robert, the Door Man. Aside from opening the door and shooting the obligatory small talk with you, I've seen him doing a litany of other small tasks around the building for other tenants. Best of all, none of the staff ever tried to poison us and make us into hats. I recommended The Sidway to one of my other co-workers who moved in the following week. You wanna be next?

The food was good.However, they did not replenish the food quickly at all and seemed a bit out of sorts. I had a romaine leaf in a champagne flute with some very good Caesar dressing for a salad. A Nice beef carving station. Pasta that I could not eat as it wasnt gluten free but they did have things marked very nicely.Gluten free which I really appreciate. There is no potato or vegetable offering. So I just had a lettuce leaf and 2 thin slices of beef (ebough for a slider sammie), a small scoop of goat cheese topped with some beets which was super yummy but no crackers or anything with it. Andd could not eat the dessert. The bartenders were super nice and took very good care of us. I would say go and try it and ask about where to park if u plan on a med sized event.

The space is set up and decorated beautifully! So many different spots to take pictures or just hang out. And then the actual banquet area was very spacious and looked very elegant with the string lights, tablecloths and cloth napkins. Everyone who walked in couldn't believe how great the space was. The food was also fantastic! We just had a regular dinner buffet with baked chicken, roast beef and sides, but everything was very tasty! The star of the meal was the chef selection of mini desserts! Everyone raved about it and everything was absolutely delicious! I could have eaten those lemon bars all weekend. The thing that put everything over the top was the courtyard. Everyone did not see it as soon as they came in but once they did venture outside, no one wanted to come back in. Good thing the program part of the banquet was already over. We took wonderful pictures. The fire pit was lit, and everyone just wanted to stay for as long as possible. I only wish we could have stayed past 10. The only downside was the A/V. But i think if you are bringing your own speakers and things, it would be fine. All in all, I would absolutely, unquestionably refer this space to anyone looking to have an event. We had around 120 people, and we were in the larger room, but even the smaller room looked great when I peeked in.

The Village is a fully independent 55+ community in a secluded area surrounded by woods and nature. Except for the low hum of a near by train the area is quiet. The apartments are large, clean and fully updated. The kitchen is gorgeous. They have a community complex that is nothing short of amazing. There is a fully equipped gym, dining area, kitchen for group events, heated pool and several seating areas with big screen TVs. They issue a monthly calendar with many events scheduled including card games, football meet ups and bus outings and offer delivered meals from a near by restaurant. Rent includes basic cable, trash and use of the community center. They are currently building houses if you'd rather buy then rent and have future plans for rent-able townhouses. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet neighborhood full of good people.
