Miller Symphony Hall occupies a beaux arts theatre in downtown Allentown, Pennsylvania, originally built in the 1800s as a central marketplace before architect J.B. McElfatrick converted it into the Lyric Theatre in 1899. It is one of only about a dozen surviving theatres from McElfatrick's roughly 200 beaux arts designs, and its stage has hosted performers including Bob Hope, Johnny Mathis, and Tony Bennett. The Allentown Symphony Association purchased the hall in 1959 and, with support from the Miller family, has invested $12 million in renovations to preserve the pre-1900s building, which was renamed in the family's honor in 2012. Today it remains the permanent home of the Allentown Symphony Orchestra. The hall offers several private event spaces suited to different gatherings. The Performance Hall, with its three tiers of historic seating and full stage, accommodates up to 1,132 guests for large-scale performances, weddings, corporate meetings, and fundraisers. The Rodale Community Room, on the third floor with elevator access, seats up to 200 beneath high-arched Palladian windows and features an adjacent full kitchen, making it a fit for wedding receptions and intimate concerts. The Lyric Room, a light-filled space added in 2016 with floor-to-ceiling windows facing 6th Street and its own private entrance, holds up to 75 guests for smaller receptions and meetings. Nearby, the Allentown Arts Park and Arts Walk offer additional space for outdoor photography.

The Golden Pheasant Inn is a historic riverside inn and restaurant in Erwinna, Pennsylvania, set along the Delaware River and the old canal towpath in Bucks County. The property traces back to 1811, when Waterman's Inn was built to serve farmers hauling grain along the river road; the current main building dates to 1856, rebuilt after fire destroyed the original tavern, and the inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Jack Thompson's family purchased the property in 2019 and reopened it in 2020. The inn offers French-inspired cuisine served in a handful of distinct spaces: a fireplace-warmed dining room, a solarium with canal and river views, and a stone canal patio and bistro garden shaded by trees. That range of settings, from cozy and firelit to bright and glassed-in to open-air along the water, makes the inn suited to everything from formal dinners and sit-down luncheons to casual cocktail parties. Beyond dining, the property includes four individually themed guest suites for overnight stays, with breakfast served the following morning, and full bar service on site.
