Food scene
Fabulous cafe and restaurant in Hotel. EXTRAORDINARY decor and great meeting place. Also, check out the absolutely magnificent lounge in the rear of the building. You will not find a more fantastic lounge in all of New York State. Sorry, that is Oscar's opinion.

“Nobody makes a better hamburger and fries” and our 12-year-old loves their french onion soup when they have it. Much, much, more tasty food as well. Great place mostly visited by locals is our impress.

Beautiful lake on a very well managed State Park. Oscar swam there as a kid. Now, his grandchildren swim there, me (Tina) and our almost 13 year daughter.

Sightseeing
Nice little historic town with restaurants and unique “mom and pop” shops, similar to Hudson, just over the Massacusetts border. About a 35 minute drive East from our house on route 23.

Get list in the woods but less than 500 yards or so in all directions from civilization. The falls are special. “Kinda like Niagra, not really.”
