It was cold, but the fireworks show last night over Lake George were hot. They were impressive. While similar to the ones every Thursday in the summer, they seemed to have a little more variety. Or, maybe it was because I only watched them once this summer and don’t remember. Either way, it made for… Continue reading Fall Fireworks
Yesterday was the first time in three years that I wasn’t in Chicago for work on my birthday. It was also the first time I’ve celebrated my birthday in Lake George – I’ve always been someplace else. After all the crazy events of the past year, I really just wanted to not even celebrate my… Continue reading My First Lake George Birthday
My love affair with the Lake George Beach Club is strong. It helps that the location, which used to be Shepherd’s Cove for as long as I can remember, is in my opinion, one of the best waterfront spots in Lake George Village. Situated next to the park, near the beach and above the lake… Continue reading My Love Affair with the Lake George Beach Club
National Ice Cream Day was yesterday, so I celebrated with a little gelato at the Lake George Olive Oil Company in Lake George Village. Oh my gosh was it good! It was actually the first time I had gelato here, and it was hard to pick which flavor I wanted. The mint was strong, but… Continue reading National Ice Cream Day Means Gelato

Our trip to the Adirondack Wine and Food Festival was a late Father’s Day, and early birthday, present for my Dad. It’s a celebration of New York wines, beers, cider, distilled spirits and food. There were more vendors and more people than last year, which is wonderful because it means several things: the craft beverage… Continue reading Best of the Adirondack Wine and Food Festival
The Lake George A&W is reopened! A devastating fire shut down the landmark restaurant last year, and it hasn’t reopened until today. The locally owned Lake George business dates back decades to 1959, according to one report. Believe it or not, it was my first time at the restaurant, despite driving past it daily. My Dad… Continue reading Lake George A&W Is Reopened
Spending this weekend attending the Girlfriends Getaway in Bolton Landing was exactly what I needed, and I didn’t even know it. I had attended the first two of these weekends, but then always had to go to a conference for work the same weekend, and haven’t been to it since. I like to call it… Continue reading Wellness Weekend at Girlfriends Getaway in Bolton Landing
Where do I begin this post? When I was little we *always* went here for breakfast while visiting my great-grandparents. In fact, it was one of the very few places we did go, because we usually just always ate at home. I remember the big breakfast buffet and always wanting to sit by the window… Continue reading Howard Johnson’s Restaurant in Lake George
So, where is the best waterfront breakfast on Lake George in the Adirondacks? Blue Water Manor. No doubt about it. You seriously cannot beat these views. My aunt from Staten Island was visitng and I had heard about this place, but had never been there. I was worried about the food, but I shouldn’t… Continue reading Best Waterfront Breakfast on Lake George
