Category:Superior Restaurant
The Superior Restaurant was a landmark restaurant on Hamilton Street in Allentown for 44 years. It originally opened March 1918 as the Presto Restaurant at 820 Hamilton Street, renamed Superior Restaurant in October 1920. Moved to a new building at 824 Hamilton in March 1935 where it remained for decades. The restaurant closed in February 1962 and the building was sold to the Union Bank & Trust Company.
Although there were discussions of re-opening the restaurant at 29 North Sixth Street, those discussions came to nothing and it never reopened. Union Bank's expansion plans also came to naught, and an appliance store opened at 824 Hamilton which operated for many years. The building on Hamilton Street as torn down in 2006 and is now part of the Butz Center.
