Located right off Exit 19 in Queensbury, the Ambrosia Diner is a welcome addition to the current dining options in the Lake George area. As soon as I saw it going up, I was a hopeful, but a little skeptical. I’ve always said a Jersey-style diner in this area would be awesome, but it had… Continue reading Ambrosia Diner in Queensbury
One of the nice things about having come to the Adirondacks since I was a baby, but never really going out to eat that much, because my great-grandmother was a fabulous cook, is that even restaurants that have been around for decades are new to me. Last night at the Harvest Restaurant in Queensbury., I… Continue reading Harvest Restaurant
My apologies Adirondack foodie friends for this post coming in the middle of the week, but things have been a little crazy around here. This week is Restaurant Week in the Lake George area, and while unfortunately I am traveling because of work and am not around to enjoy most of it, I did eat… Continue reading Places to Eat During Lake George Area Restaurant Week
I am on such a dill kick lately! For an herb that I hardly ever used in the past, I’ve probably used it at least five or six times in the last two weeks — including in this pre-mixed dip packet we picked up at the Glens Falls Farmers from Northeast Corner Herbs.

Although the sale may not still be going in, if you’re looking for a place in the Lake George… Continue reading Flip Flop Bender at Happy Jacks in Bolton Landing
If you like cheese, and are anywhere near the Adirondack Winery in Lake George, stop in and pick up some Adirondack Cheese! Last weekend folks from the Adirondack Cheese Company were at the winery holding a tasting of their fabulous cheese, which until then, I had never tried. They had their spreadable cheeses, as well… Continue reading Adirondack Cheese at the Adirondack Winery
You could not have asked for a more perfect day for this year’s Hadley Maple Festival. It was sunny and warm with a light breeze — you could just feel spring in the air. The best way to start off the day-long event is with breakfast at Wilder’s Sugar Shack. It was well worth the… Continue reading Hadley Maple in April Festival
We spent most of this weekend freezing our you know whats off watching my friend’s husband ice dive in Lake Luzerne, a short 15 minute drive from Lake George Village. Boy was it cold, but it was also a ton of fun! Les, who frequently scuba dives, has been planning to take the weekend certification… Continue reading Ice Diving Near Lake George
