Taco Joy, Watertown NY

 A fun twist on a old stand.   This was one of my go-to spots for a quick lunch or a simple hotdog.  I knew from the name it was no longer a hotdog stand, but I thought no big deal, I'll just get a Taco.   Unfortunately, just a Taco is not an option.  Tacos are only sold in multiples of 3.  I thought maybe it was because of the way the food was already portioned, but they had a deal where you could choose any 3.  I could have gotten a kids meal with 2, but I didn't want a gogurt or a drink.  I ended up with a side order of elote for $6.  Tasty.  A nice snack.  

Scotty's Brick Oven Pizza

 Formerly a foot truck, they opened a store on Public Square .  Ordering and menu are online even when you visit in person.    We ordered a large mushroom pizza.   When the order rang up the price of the topping doubled.  When I questioned it, they explained that they have a lot of people who want different toppings on each side i.e 1/2 cheese 1/2 pepperoni, so they price the toppings by 1/2.    Nice idea, but it could really increase the price of a pie if you are someone who orders multiple toppings.  They still operate the food truck for special events.

 I prefer small local restaurants or deli's, but we were in a hurry.   The restaurant had been nicely renovated. We ordered online instead of through the in-store kiosk to get the specials. Basic cheeseburger and fries.  Burgers were buy one get one free. 

Pittsford Farms Dairy, Pittsford, NY

 We visited on an unseasonably warm winter day and the place was crowded.  I can't imagine how crowded it would be in a warm summer day. We had a great time and enjoyed everything we tried.   I definitely stop again if I was in the area. They offer so much it's difficult to know what category to place them in. They could be an ice cream store, bakery, specialty store, or tourist attraction.
