American Maple Museum, Crogan, NY

An interesting local Museum devote to the production of maple syrup. A Solid 4 stars. You can definitely attend for minimum wage. Admission is $5 for adults or $10 for a family, which I believe consists of two adults and up to four children. The museum is built in an old school house and contains 3 floors of maple memorabilia.  Admission is free for two special weekends a year in the spring. In early spring when the days are warm in the nights are still freezing the maple sap starts flowing. Local sugar bushes open for tours and often provide samples of fresh maple syrup. The museum joins the fun  by offering free admission and hosting a marvelous pancake breakfast. The 2018 breakfast price was $10, all you all you can eat.   A visit to the museum would not be complete without a stop in the little Museum Store.  They offer Maple themed gifts as well as maple flavored items and of course locally produced fresh maple syrup.  Still a good value, the 2018 price is $10 up from

A small local chain they score high for the fun factor.  We didn't have a reservation so the wait was about a half an hour.  They use a pager system, so we could move around.  They also have a game room that was keeping young patrons entertained.  The dining room is surrounded by large screen TVs allowing us to watch several sporting events simultaneously.  We were served a tasty bowl of popcorn. I ordered a special which consisted of a very small steak and delicious chicken fingers for $13.99.  The steak although small was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Chicken fingers which are a signature item did not disappoint. The the meal was accompanied with delicious homemade mashed potatoes and and a small serving of coleslaw. The second meal was baked ziti for $9.99.  An ample portion of pasta topped lightly with cheese.  The pasta was accompanied by a small side salad and garlic bread.  We probably wouldn't order this again. The lunch menu is only availab
