Things to do in New York, United States: The Best Other Food & Drink

April 1, 2022 Madelene Haan

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Delicious little cake fried donuts and made to order, so they're super fresh. The frosting (I think buttercream) is so delicious and I love all the flavor varieties. My personal favorites out of the half dozen we got were the vanilla buttercream with peanuts and the maple frosted. My husband enjoyed the cookies and cream and blueberry frosted most! Plus, there is a little gift shop attached with some great items for sale. I purchased some incense then. I wish this place was closer to our home, but I'm glad my husband and I stopped by before we headed home from our weekend away in the Adirondacks.

After a long hunt for a Knife Skills class that wasn't all the way downtown and on a weeknight, I found City Cooking West End. Four of us signed up together and were part of a class of 10 people on a Saturday afternoon. Chef Ken was terrific; relaxed, very interactive, and he made the class fun and informative. He also prepared us a delicious meal that included all the different things we'd chopped and cut while learning how to use our knives, and the class sat down and had a lovely, social lunch together. They even bagged up the leftover things we'd cut up to take home, which I used the very next day. From start to finish, the experience was everything I was hoping for and more. Steph is lovely and accommodating, and we definitely want to take more classes at City Cooking West End!

Hollerhorn Distilling

Hollerhorn was built on a dream, sweat equity, sheer passion and a belief that small-town life doesn’t have to feel small. Do you enjoy high-quality spirits, tasty food, live music and sharing that experience with the people you love? So do we! At Hollerhorn, our Spirit Room is more than just a tasting room, it is about creating an elevated experience. A place to live better. A place to celebrate with old friends and maybe make a few new friends. A place for a special date night or a casual weeknight hang out. A place to bring out-of-town family and friends. A destination. It is not by chance that we chose Naples, New York as the location for our Distillery and Spirit Room. It is our great fortune to live in the Finger Lakes Region, and the Naples Valley is the crowning jewel. It is a quaint historic village surrounded by breathtaking landscape, lush farmland, a thriving arts and music scene, and an incredibly supportive community. We are so proud to be a part of it!
