Super cute and quirky farm to table place - great for a date or small group. Used to be our favorite but vibe has gone a bit "Brooklyn hipster". Reservations needed unless you want to sit at the bar (which we actually prefer).

The Windham Local
5410 NY-23Great coffee!
Further out but worth it - call us crazy but try the grain plate... or just go for the slow braised short ribs like you know you want to. They also have local absinthe if you're into that!

Our favorite ski place - expensive but way more kid friendly.
They also have downhill mountain biking, skating, tubing, cross-country skiing, kiddie snowmobiles. There's also a mid-week summer camp for kids.

Furthest ski hill, but feels like a real family operation. In the summer go here for downhill mountain biking if you're brave - not polished with jump trails like Windham but they've been doing it since the 70s, and has a reputation as really hard core
