Today marks the return of  Chef Lorenzo Cecunjanin  and his wife Jasmina and daughter Izabaella at Drake’s Restaurant. Welcome back for your second year! (That's where that tiramisu is from!!!)

Tonight also celebrates the return of Open Mic night – hosted by Mark Piper at Witherbee’s Carriage House. We hear that Mr. Piper has a Ukulele set – so get there early. The restaurant has just undergone its yearly sprucing up, inside and on the grounds outside.

Flanagan’s Pub also recently got its yearly make over with redone floors that sparkle!

Sticks and Stones, Shirley’s Diner, Pitkin’s, Higher Grounds, The TimberWolf and were open throughout, with Alpine Pizza and DeCesare's Pizza and the Adirondack Cafe with their modified weekend Winter hours.
