Coffee was good. Wine, beer and Perrier to drink. High Peaks region - Wilmington and the back roads. At Wilmington we stopped at Mel's Diner. Total revamp of interior with all new 50's diner tables, counter, floor with huge black and white tiles, a jukebox with music from those days and the food was fine.
Locals enjoy themselves there as well.
This region has these wonderful back roads where spectacular mountain views, little traffic and few new homes make for great drives. St. Lawrence Seaway, 12-99. Peter and I went to Potsdam to see the Amanda Means and Frank Owens exhibit at the Richard Brush Gallery on the St. Lawrence University campus in Canton and afterwards, discovered Angelo's, a restaurant which has fresh seafood delivered 3 or 4 times a week from the Boston Market via Albany. A five minute walk from downtown Potsdam, it looks like a converted gas station and has diner style furnishings, but the food is fresh and the chef, Angelo, has a flair. Angelo's father is the host, and proud of his son, brought him out to introduce him.
