Food scene

There are so many great places to eat around the lake, many we haven’t tried yet! But here are a few of our favorites.
We love Andriaccios! I order shrimp portofino every single time, and the grandkids love the calamari! The outdoor patio is a great place to eat with friends.

With a huge menu, there is something for everyone. The fish tacos are a personal favorite, but our friends love the fish fry. It's a place all the lake lovers go to--go early because it's always busy!

Wegmans is the best! We go there several times each visit, and have enjoyed the Market Cafe for lunch. We always bring home sushi and the hard to find foods. There's no better grocery store!

A great little park for the younger crowd. Our Grandkids, 4 and 6, love to spend the morning here riding the rides that are just their size. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy a slow paced day with the littles :)
