Spotluck Launched Bethlehem, Bringing New Spin on Restaurant Discounts<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Deciding where to eat in Bethlehem doesn\u2019t have to be a dilemma anymore – Spotluck has arrived. The top-rated dining app is working with some of the area’s best restaurants, and debuts this Friday, February 16th. Spotluck works exclusively with locally-owned restaurants and offers diners smart discounts between 10%-35% off their restaurant bill. Bethlehem is the sixth market Spotluck has added in 2018, as the company expands throughout the East Coast. Spotluck already operates in several Pennsylvania cities including Philadelphia, Williamsport, Scranton, and State College.

Michael DeCrosta, a lifelong Lehigh Valley resident and Bethlehem native is leading the local launch for Spotluck. \u201cMy parents own two small businesses in Bethlehem, so I’ve always been passionate about supporting local places,” DeCrosta said. “When I was going to Lehigh University, I became interested in community development, and began to focus on how I could make an impact on my hometown. Spotluck is going to help me shine a light on the amazing local restaurants that compete directly with the big chains.”<\/p>\n
