Known as “The Crossroads of the East,” Hazleton was incorporated as a borough in April of 1851 and as a city in December of 1891.
Hazleton’s downtown is undergoing a major revitalization. The main thoroughfare has been reconstructed, yet the area is still well-known for its small-town environment, traditional values, and modern conveniences.
Surrounded by the Drums and Conyngham areas, the energy of the city is balanced by the tranquility of the valley. Nevertheless, there are plenty of restaurants throughout the areas! If you’re looking for somewhere to dine, check out some of these restaurants:
