A special place when it comes to views of the lake. Located within the Otesaga Hotel, the Hawkeye offers nice dishes, a romantic view and a wonderful outdoor fire bar. Upgrade your visit with dinner at the 1909 Steakhouse on the main floor and you'll experience one of the great places to eat in Cooperstown.

I used to be a huge Starbucks fan and then I met Matt & Chris, the brothers who own Stagecoach Coffee. These have to be two of the nicest business owners in all of Cooperstown. And, the coffee has now been our favorite for 20+ years!

There are so many ways to see the lake be it a restaurant, a stroll in the park and along the docks or by boat. No matter which you choose we highly recommend taking in the view while the sun is setting, something easily done while having a drink at the fire bar at the Otesaga Hotel. One of our favorite things to do!
