November is here, bringing cooler weather, and cozy gatherings. At City Center Residential in Downtown Allentown, we’re especially grateful for our residents—and we’ve planned some exciting events to show our appreciation! From a new resident happy hour to a festive “Paint a Pumpkin + Pie Bar” event, there are plenty of chances to connect and celebrate. Join us for unique experiences like a Malaysian cooking demo, free bagels, and more, all designed to make you feel at home.
Mix & Meet New Resident Happy Hour
Get dressed up and meet other new residents who recently moved into our residential community at our Mix & Meet Happy Hour at the Windows on 6th Restaurant at the Americus Hotel on Tuesday, November 5, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Enjoy two complimentary drinks and a variety of appetizers.

Mindfulness and Communication Class
On Tuesday, November 12, from 6:30-7:30 p.m., residents can enjoy the third class of a four-part series this fall covering a variety of mindfulness topics from Lehigh Valley Health Network’s Center for Mindfulness. In this one-hour introduction, you will practice mindfulness and explore how mindfulness impacts communication. You will understand how, with mindfulness, you can become a good listener to yourself and others. We can recognize “signals” when ease is present between us and when it is disrupted. This will give us clues about how to foster safety with others, a fundamental building block of mindful communication. Light snacks and drinks will be provided. Click here to RSVP on Cobu.
