We opened a Google map of NYS this morning and zeroed in the the FingerLakes in the middle of the state. We wanted to take a day trip so we started with parks and forests looking for a hiking trail. We found a few spots we’ve heard about but weren’t familiar with like Harriet Holister and High Tor and the Finger Lakes National Forest. We settled on Watkins Glen State Park.
Next we looked for a restaurant in that area and found Suzanne’s Fine Regional Cuisine in wine country along Seneca Lake in Lodi. The place was fantastic. I may have had the best salad I have ever had in my life there and I told the chef (Suzanne) as much in the comment card that was included with our check. It was fresh greens from a farm in nearby Hector. Purslane was in there, the same weed that grows between the sidewalk slabs down at our pool, goat cheese, roasted beets and caramelized walnuts but the real kick was the dressing. They must have misted it on. It was so light and delicate.
