Shopping
Paddywacks
10 W Park RowThere's a little of everything at Paddywacks, and if it's quirky, they have it!
The shops and restaurants along West Park Row (and around the corner on College Street) have lots of fun things -- souvenirs, clothes, coffee!, and more. Snag a Clinton Pottery mug from Tom's Local Foods, then bring it to Utica Coffee around the corner to drink your coffee like a local.

Getting Around
There's a Zipcar lot with 2-3 cars a short walk from our place. If you don't want to walk to the village, a Zipcar is a great option for getting down (and then UP!) the hill.

The town park has a playground, some courts for sports, covered picnicking areas, and a trail down to a creek you can wade in. This is a great place for a family outing, a solo-outing with a good book, or a big party!
