Everedy Diner, Hyde Park, NY

 A nice touch of nostalgia. This diner was actually on the show Diers Drive-In and Dives.    Big Apple Wrap   Meatloaf Sandwich.  Dinner for 2,just under $30.  One regret, not saving room for desert.

 Fun and economical way to try a variety of foods.  They offer a lunch special.  

Valley Peetza, Chaumont, NY

We really enjoyed this little spot.  We had spent the day at local beach and left wearing beach clothes.  We wanted a casual non judgemental place with decent food at a decent price. We were very happy with our choice.  They had limited seating, indoor and outdoor were both options.  Order at the counter.  Pricing seemed fair, interesting, but fair. You tell them what you want, they tell you what it cost.  The person at the counter explained they don't price the pizza as 1 topping, 2 topping etc.  they base it on the type of toppings.  They didn't think it was fair to the customer to charge the same price for a 3 meat as 3 seasonal vegetables.   Our mushroom pizza was yummy...

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.
