Discover the Culinary Experiences in Upstate New York

Let's take a journey of culinary excellence from Albany in the east to Buffalo, the gateway city to the west. Along the way, check into Cooperstown, Auburn, and Rochester in the Great Lakes region.
Breakfast in Albany in the Capital-Saratoga region

Choose from a range of berries, fresh fruit, yogurts, and cereals to suit your palate. Next, a scrumptious choice between Eggs Benedict and New York Benedict will tantalize with hollandaise sauce, smoked salmon, and creamed spinach.
Move onto the classic offers like eggs with acorn squash and fingerling potato. Explore the options for a delicious omelet with fillers like mushrooms, tomato, onions, peppers, ham, bacon, cheddar cheese, and more.
If you still have room, try a pancake before a final coffee. Or, leave some space for the waffles with mixed berry compote, whipped butter, and maple syrup.

Lunch in Cooperstown, Otsego County

Lunch is served from 11:00 a.m from Monday to Saturday. If you hit the town on a Sunday, you could try their brunch from 9:30 a.m through to 2:00 p.m instead. Lunch options include burgers and sandwiches as well as more traditional meals, but their burgers are not any just burger. Tuck into a California Dreamin' beef burger with creamy brie, applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato, red onion, cucumber, and chipotle aioli.
Try their wraps and panini with roast beef, turkey, chicken or grilled cheese. Alternatively, breeze through the menu to select a crisp and tasty salad. Choices range from Cobb Salad, through to Spring Mixes, and Spinach Salad with red cabbage, cucumbers, blueberries, goat cheese, candied walnuts and more.

Afternoon coffee and sweets in Auburn, Cayuga County

Choose between the Regular or Swiss Water decaffeinated coffee which is freshly ground. The certified organic High Mountain Estate beans make for a delicious and robust refreshment. Round it off with organic fruit, or their Flourless Chocolate Ganache Torte or Chef's Brulee.
Take the taste with you to your next destination, as they also sell the coffee in their Country Food Store. It's open from June to November each year.

Evening drinks and savories in the Great Lake City of Rochester

Head for the lounge area which features a bar furnished with comfortable seating. It’s the perfect place to relax over a few drinks in the historic and elegant Broadway Inn. The built-in fireplace and the warm colors bring a feeling of welcome. Of course, if you’re just starting out your evening, you may wish to choose something light to eat from their bar menu.
You might like to start off by trying their Wild Raised Tasmanian Salmon or Beef Tenderloin Filet. Their sandwiches tempt the palate as well, with choices like their Tournedos BLT filled with thick cut cherrywood smoked bacon and avocado mayonnaise. If you prefer, they also offer some delicious salads.

Fine Dining in Buffalo, Niagara-Western NY

Offering small and large plate portions, the Chef's Special is on offer, as well as other delicious set-menu options. Large plate favorites include roast chicken with caramelized onion mash and marinated tomato salad with a buttermilk drizzle. Prefer fish? The Salmon sounds delicious as it's served pecan crusted with sweet potato hash and chorizo vinaigrette.
Small plate portions come with Calamari and Rock Shrimp, Steamed P.E.I. Mussels with white wine and butter broth, and minced garlic with fresh herbs. How about trying the Poached Pear Salad with spiced walnuts, parsnip chips, and honey cider vinaigrette?
Pair your meal with one of their wines from their award-winning selection, before moving onto some dessert. Although their menu is subject to change, you can choose from the likes of Warm Sticky Toffee Cakehouse with caramel sauce, Crème Brûlée Cheesecake with fresh cream and raspberry sauce, Chocolate Mousse Cake with a chocolate drizzle, or Jameson Tiramisu with whipped cream.
