yes I do...left LI in 1988...never to return, again (at least, not to live...my dad still lives there.) I do honestly believe that New York is a beautiful state, and it gets no better for living than north of Westchester county. I live in Greene Co. (near Catskill) and I absolutely love it.

A strong recommendation for Brook's House of BBQ in Oneonta, NY. I've been going there all my life and it's always been excellent chicken. The prices have gone up a bit in recent years but still a great deal for a relaxed and not terribly expensive meal.

Brooks' Bar-B-Q Restaurant in Oneonta, NY Also providing Catering and Specialty Bar-B-Q Sauces and Seasoning.

As for a more formal dinner although not uptight I've always been pleased with the quality of the food at The American Hotel in Sharon Springs, NY.

I've lived in a lot of places, traveled the world, and spent a heck of a lot of money (too much at times) on meals which don't measure up to what they've delivered. A big advantage to their quality is their control of seating times - only allowing on the hour seating ensures the kitchen isn't overwhelmed and the wait staff is running around like loose cats.

A higher price point but I'd say worth the drive.

I second the Brook's recommendation. Was there 3 weeks ago and it's still as great as ever...never changes, thank goodness! The current owners are 3rd generation of the same family....and the original owners are still alive!

Default Church & Main- Canajoharie

Nestled in our little corner of the universe in the Mohawk Valley is an excellent restaurant, Church & Main, in Canajoharie NY. They only use locally grown organic food from the nearby farms.
