Food
If you’ve never been to a Wegmans grocery store before, here is your chance to experience what most people consider to be one of the best Grocery stores on the planet. Oh yeah… And Chris works there! She’s been there 19 years and still loves it so much.

In our opinion, this is one of the best restaurants in Corning. Chris has been vegan since 2018, and this menu also caters to that way of eating in an extraordinary, and amazingly tasty way. There is something for all palettes. If you’re into unique, alcoholic beverages, especially martinis… The menu will not disappoint.

If you dig burritos, you’ll definitely want to check out Little Boomers Burrito Bar. The owners are delightful… They catered an event at Wegmans (where Chris has worked there for 19 yrs), and all 300 employees couldn’t speak highly enough! Huge portions!

Ever since the Palace Theater opened several years ago, our family has so enjoyed its old school charm. (If you visit, and you’re ordering off the menu board, know that your host Chris designed it!)

If you have kids, and are looking for something fun for them to do, this is a great place to go! There’s mini golf, a great big playground, a pool for a small fee, go-carts, and smaller kiddy rides. Also a bunch of picnic areas. The view of the valley, from on top of this hill, is gorgeous, especially during a sunset.

Sightseeing
Basically, the gaffer district sums up everything that comprises of downtown Corning. If you do only one thing, we suggest walking down the length of Market St. It begins at Wegmans, and ends at the Radisson hotel. So many shops, restaurants, and boutiques to see! The epitome of small-town America.

Corning is known for being in the finger Lakes region of New York State. The closest finger lakes are Keuka, Seneca, Cayuga and Canandaigua. If you’re up for a little drive, Chris highly suggests firing up the GPS, and visiting these areas.The closest lake from Corning is Seneca, specifically the town of Watkins Glen, on the south end. There you will find Watkins Glen State Park, with amazing trails and gorge views that you’ll never forget.
