Road trip

[chili boy]

can anyone suggest some interesting stops in up state new York & Vermont if a maple guy from Wisconsin was to find himself in that part of the world ?

I'm heading out to Salem NH by way of Bascom's next month. Looking to see a lot of covered bridges on the way.

If you are heading east along 90, I recommend getting onto Rt. 20 if you have the time. It's a beautiful state road that rolls through farm country and it parallels 90. We did this trip last summer.

I like history, baseball, good food and good beer, so for stops, I recommend:
Buffalo:
-Niagra Falls
-Darwin Martin House (if you can't get enough Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in Wisconsin)
-Anchor Bar - where buffalo wings were invented and it totally lives up to the hype. Good food and good beer.
-Buffalo Bisons - AAA baseball
-Teddy Roosevelt Inaugural Site

Seneca Falls/Auburn:
-Women's Rights Museum/Site of first Women's Convention
-William Seward Home
-Harriet Tubman Home

Syracuse:
-Dinosaur BBQ - Some of the BEST BBQ I have ever had! (Awesome beers, too!)
-Sky Chiefs - AAA baseball
-Syracuse University
-Eerie Canal Museum

Cooperstown:
-Baseball Hall of Fame


Albany:
-State House - an amazing building for architecture/history and they give tours
-Food Trucks - If you are there around lunch time a ton of food trucks pull alongside a park next to the state house. No beer, but all really good food.

Have fun!

I would visit Crown Maple, Madava Farms in Dover Plains. Very high tech and progressive maple operation. Crownmaple.com.

Wendel's maple near springville ny. If you time it right they have great chicken BBQ.
