Pub menu with beer....try the Ubu beer, my favorite. If weather permits, sit outside for a great view of Mirror Lake and the village of Lake Placid since you are on the other side of the lake.

Good lunches...look at specials listed outside. If possible, sit on porch in rear with a great view of Mirror Lake. I remember having dinner here many years ago while on skiing trips....still a good place for Italian food.

"They pick the flavor, you pick the size!" This is a favorite for visitors and locals. If you want to know what flavor is being mixed with vanilla, check out their Facebook page. They have been in business since the 1950's and are still the most popular ice cream stand in the area.

Entertainment & Activities
The Bobsled ride is very exciting, even it's only the last part of the official course. 2 passengers go in the middle of the bobsled with a driver in front and guy who pushs you off and jumps in. At the end, you get a picture, a t-shirt, etc., to commemorate the experience. A once-in-a-lifetime (maybe twice!) experience!

Several ice skating rinks where Olympic hopefuls practice and hockey teams play. Used for 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. Next to Conference Center.
I often wander in and sit and watch when there isn't an event requiring a ticket. The ice shavings from the Zamboni are placed outside the building for a photo opportunity to have a picture in front of "snow" in the summer.

Because there aren't any department stores in the area, the community store was started by selling shares to the local residents. It has clothing, kitchen items, jewelry, yarn, etc. Stop by for a look....it's near the Library.
