I've been to many breweries, and there are countless times when beers just don't live up to their billing. For instance, plenty of breweries have chocolate stouts that are not chocolatey at all. They rely on chocolate malts. It's not enough. They just taste like an average, roasty stout. My wife and I recently made a trip to Fleur De Lis Brew Works, and we tried the chocolate stout, the peanut butter porter, and the almond biscotti (golden ale). I don't gush over beer very often, but I was very pleasantly surprised when the beers really tasted like what it said they were, and fr more than just a hint of the taste. It's obvious that the owners use real ingredients - a lot of it - and really care about the process. Fleur De Lis had, overall, some of the consistently best beer of any place we've been too.

Everyone of us has a Mother. And many of us have sisters or wives. And 51% of the population is female. This museum is a MUST SEE! The Birthplace of Woman's Rights in the United States; come see where the battle was formalized. Read the declaration of sentiments. Understand why Woman's Rights are EVERYONE'S Rights.

I was very happy to see this large expanse preserved for wildlife. The day we visited it was very hot, in the mid-90s. No one else around when we arrived, but a couple cars drove in while we were there. We walked a trail to the lookout tower and the viewing platform. Not a lot of wildlife to see from there on this day. however, we then drove the gravel road loop and saw an eagle, ducks and geese. The loop is a very quiet drive until you reach the north end which is abuts the busy freeway. Well worth a visit. The visitor center was closed due to the pandemic so we did not get to see what may have been offered there.

When we are in the Finger Lakes we always stop by Montezuma Winery and each time the staff members are both friendly and informative, the samplings are no-pressure and fun, and then we purchase our favorite wine, Fat Frog Blush. The store has unique offerings of wine-related items and food and gifts - and the tastings and events there sound very enjoyable. Our favorite winery!

Seneca Museum of Waterways and Industry

Reviewed By EdwardK267 - Hudson River Valley, United States

Very interesting small museum about the local history and cultural importance of the area. Free of charge, it has a variety of types of installations that bring to life the development of the area. Quite the industrious town back in the hey day of American manufacturing and ingenuity. Highly recommended.

It's A Wonderful Life Museum

Reviewed By NJNOMADtoo - Bay Shore, United States

We really enjoyed our visit to the museum. I planned our whole trip around the town, as my wife is a HUGE fan of the movie. The place is small and can be covered in a couple of hours. Each display has a card or note explaining its significance and often an entire story. We loved browsing through the old memorabilia and just enjoying the memories contained in the museum. They have some big plans for the anniversary, so stay tuned.
