the Newport crowd makes its way across the upstates on Enticer. observing the locals from the comfort of their floating salon, much as one would view an exhibit in the local zoo….

Ha! It's like the Upstates really are the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon for this place.

Now I want onion rings.

I mean, I always want onion rings. But I want them more now.

[huckbucket]

my trip to the upstates this past weekend was an overwhelming success; beautiful sunset along I-90 on Thursday night, always love cruising that section of farmland east of Utica, truly feels like upstate when you're in that area.. Got my Abbotts fix on Friday night, chocolate almond soft serve.. hit the Jazz Fest on Saturday night, Devon Allman Project was absolutely rockin', there was certainly an eclectic array of people in attendance, big time upstate vibes and an awesome show overall... golfed out in Wayne County on Sunday for fathers day, followed by some Zweigles red & white hots on the grill with the fam



I hit up T.Whals on Saturday afternoon, rootbeer and a whalburger hit the spot, but yea all that fried food will catch up to ya eventually.. can confirm the chinette was real nice



my grandma used to refer to coleslaw as "dressing"; not sure if that answers the question here but felt it was relevant

Boosh FTW! You touched all the bases my friend.

It's National Onion Rings Day. Burger King is giving away free onion rings with any purchase over $1.

I'd still like a review from anyone who's had both.

We're getting fish fry advice and offers for fractional ownership from the Feadship crowd.

This place delivers.

[Cisco Kid]

At Don's, it's all about the fish. It must be larger than the plate. And onion rings that are 4" rings if you want'em.

There could be a whole separate thread about upstate fish fries. Every town has at least one.

True, and this guy says he can rank them.

Props to Prop's, by the way. #18.

In season they have fried oysters that are incredible

I’m gonna be up in Ticonderoga soon, then traveling south along the east side of Lake George. Any must do/see advice? Be it blue tarps or “upstate” food?

[Timberridge]

Spanks, pretty much the most interesting thing is the Fort. By east side you mean down Rt 22? If so, south on Rt 22 there is Comstock prison--it's a maximum security prison. https://www.nysfocus.com/2021/11/10/...meadow-prison/ Then there's Lake George the town, which is pretty much a shitshow of people in the summer--good luck finding a table sometimes. I'm not sure how well the outlet malls in Queensbury are doing these days-- a bunch went offline during Covid, but if you need some underwear there's a Jockey outlet store there.

I'm kinda leaning to tell you to take the west side down, it's slower but a bit more scenic. Perhaps stop at the Sagamore for lunch and then just get on the Northway. Or if you can wait, go to lunch in Saratoga Springs.
