Allentown (Buffalo, New York)

 neighbourhood, draw only border

Allentown is the first neighborhood north of the Downtown Buffalo core. It borders the downtown theater and entertainment district to its south, and runs north to North Street at its northern edge. Running from Orton Place on the west, to Main street on the east, the neighborhood is generally centered around Allen Street and Elmwood Avenue.

Allentown is known for its community of artists, for its embrace of bohemian and gay culture, and for the civic commitment of residents to the historic and aesthetic sensibilities of the neighborhood. Allentown is one of Buffalo's premier areas for nightlife, dining, and antique shopping. It is the site of the annual Allentown Art Festival, which is held in June and includes sidewalk displays of visual art along Allen Street.
