The best race course around, show up early relax with friends, have a good time and if you are lucky leave with a few extra dollars.
If you missed it this year, be sure to mark you calendar for next years celebration, it will be even better. Nice way to stretch the July 4 holiday into a weekend long celebration.
This place is out of business, but it was a great place to pick up local crafts when it was open. I am not talking about popsicle sticks and yarn here, they had really nice high quality crafts good for gifts in all price ranges.
The cupcakes are tasty but the frosting is a little too sweet for my taste. Need to try a few more flavors for a definitive decision.
Not one of the best in town but THE BEST wine and spirit store in Saratoga Springs. They have a huge selection, many knowledgeable staff members, the majority of which do not act like pompous wine elitists. The best recommendations come from the older gentlemen with white hair he take the same time to guide you to a selection if you tell him your price range is $8 or $40.
Must stop by this shop, not only do they have tons of decorations and stuff for your yard and house they put together fantastic flow arrangements for a fair price! These guys have an eye for design.
I have been to several mexican restaurants in town and this is the only one I have been back to. I think this speaks for its self. Fair prices for food and drinks, high quality ingredients, delicious.
