Pump House Creamery, Gananoque Ont

 This is the kind of place where if I was half an hour away I'd say hey were close to the Pump House let's get Ice Cream.  This little gem checks so many boxes.  I love old places that are turned into something new.   By far one of the best ice cream places of the summer.   It doesn't really need to be eat in, because it's next to a gorgeous art park with some benches.  Restrooms can be found a short distance away at the visitor center.  

Moroni's, Gananoque, Ont.

 Although this was not a terrible experience it's probably not one that we'd add to our return list. We visited on a weekend and arrived mid afternoon. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time. Service was fine, however the restaurant had the strangest smell.  We were seated next to the windows and nowhere near restrooms, yet it smelled like a sewer.   The pizza was ok.  Prices seemed ok once you take the exchange rate into account.  On the upside it was 100 percent better than the curry place a block away.

 This was a perfect treat on a day.  It was fun to watch everyone's delight as they were served.   Twist.  Thick and delicious.

Guido's Pizzeria, Tupper Lake

 We stopped for Pizza after church on a Saturday evening.   We ordered Pizza and asked for glasses of water.  They couldn't provide them because they didn't have cups.   They sold 2 liter soda bottles, but had no cups? They also had a selection of beer, man ordered a beer, partner ordered a beer.  They didn't have the kind she wanted.  Bartender/waitress charged him for his beer.  He explained that they would be ordering more drinks and food and he wanted to start a tab.  He was told they don't do that.  He pulled out cash and paid for his beer, by the time she made change the partner made a selection.  This time they had it.  He pulled out more cash and paid, again trying to explain they were going to be ordering food.  Waitress just restated the price.  He paid cash again for the second beer.  It seemed like such an odd way to handle the transaction.

   Wonderful little bakery.  We enjoyed our visit.  The only thing that made it a little awkward was finding the prices on some items.  They were having a great sale on cream pies, but we were traveling and I didn't need a whole pie.    Tomato Pie 

Bandana's Bar & Grill, Youngstown NY

 We were very happy to discover this restaurant.  We hadn't really planned to eat out.  We were camping in the area during a heat wave.  The area had very limited internet access.   This little gem has fair prices, ample portions and tasty choices.  It's air conditioned and they have wifi if you ask.
