Food Scene

Unique meals in a cozy setting. The menu can be a bit vague but you can't go wrong with the Focaccia & Beefcon (its a burger). Great butcher shop next door if you plan on cooking your own meals. http://www.liquidsandsolids.com/readme/

Amazing upscale BBQ with a great view of Mirror Lake. Very friendly staff and fair prices. Don't plan to be very active after this meal, you will probably be put in a food coma. Try the brisket burnt ends. They also have a concert hall upstairs with occasional shows. http://www.smokesignalsq.com/

Very small coffee shop hidden in rear of Alpine Mall. Take a morning walk around Mirror Lake and stop here to relax on the balcony overlooking the water. Seating is very limited so not recommended for groups of more than 2.

Sports bar & Grill another short walk away from your rental. Best place to catch a game, family friendly for lunch and dinner. The lower level converts into a nightclub on weekends. http://www.wiseguyssportsbar.com/

Drinks & Nightlife

My go to place for a few drinks. Great beer selection and best atmosphere if you're looking for a real Adirondack experience. https://www.facebook.com/Zig-Zags-Pub-124236134306137/

Sightseeing

One of only two bobsled/skeleton/luge tracks in the US and my home track. Take a bobsled ride in summer or winter and check out the retired 1980 Olympic track. http://www.whiteface.com/activities/bobsled-experience

Parks & Nature

If the Mirror Lake beach is too crowded for you, take a short hike to Copperas Pond, a scenic swimming spot hidden in the mountains. The pond itself is only about a 20 minute hike in but the terrain is a bit rocky. Trails also extend higher into the mountains for a longer hike.

Entertainment & Activities

While I haven't played the course here, this is my recommended driving range. Just $2 for a bucket of balls and you will typically be the only person there. You might even catch a glimpse of wild life, last time I was there a coyote was trotting around the far end of the range. http://www.saranaclakegolf.com/

Probably my favorite movie theater; very old-fashioned with beautiful interior. The seats may not recline but you also will not find tickets this cheap at your local mall, just remember to bring cash! https://www.facebook.com/lppalace/
