The nearest casinos would be Mount Airy Lodge, Mohegan Sun, and Sands Bethlehem. There's a few towns around it that look charming on Google Streetview, but I can't vouch for the food scene.

Delaware Water Gap / Stroudsburg should also check-off most of your boxes.

Also consider areas around the following towns, but they'll each lack some of your criteria in their own ways:
  • Jim Thorpe
  • Red Hill
  • Lincoln University
  • Bellefonte
I would second Jim Thorpe. We have a friend who relocated there from Philadelphia upon retirement several years ago and loves it. According to him, it has a vibrant town center and wonderful community spirit. You aren't too far from Bethlehem sands casino/events center which has a lot to offer including music festivals and other events.
