stapleswefwf.jpg Staples of Allentown is now open. Located at the corner of Allen and Wadsworth, Staples is a chill looking hangout that has a ton of atmosphere. In around a month's time, the establishment will begin to serve a wide array of foods. I spoke with bartender Jean Claude, who told me to expect some sort of tapas fare, along with some BBQ. Then he kinda let the cat out of the bag. He mentioned that Sammy from Everything Special might have something to do with the cuisine... If that's true, then these guys might have a goldmine on their hands.

The Sammy thing is yet to be officially confirmed, but one thing for certain is that there will be some sort of a deli hut featured inside with smoked meats - the hut is already in place, and get this: The guy (Charlie) who built it owns the dog that he dresses up like a leprechaun at the festivals. JC also tells me that he is hoping that Mondays will be dedicated industry nights, where restaurant and bar employees will be welcome.

staples2wqewe.jpg The bar at Staples is pretty darn cool too. Last night Johnny Cash and The Beatles were the choice music selections. The back of the restaurant looks amazing too. The trellis on the ceiling is intriguing, and the booths are totally laid back. This will be where movies are to be played, wines will be discussed, art shows will be held, and live music will be played. Staples officially opened this past Saturday, so stop in and welcome them to Allentown.

    Here's hoping that the big box office supply store doesn't come after y'all claiming trademark infringement....
