Cooperstown

Screwed up our schedule, so instead of being in Cobleskill tomorrow, I'm in Cobleskill on Thursday, which means I'm at this Cooperstown hotel all day tomorrow. And I guess I've got a ton of work to do, but I suppose I could kill some time walking around town. Wonder if they have anything interesting here.

I loved walking around Cooperstown. Lotsa little shops. Doubleday Field is a must see. Nice place to walk even without a destination in mind. I was there last in the early 90's, but I imagine it hasn't changed much.

The Glimmerglass Opera is great and all, but it would be a lot more... well... complete if they got down off their high horse and allowed in amplification, elaborate costumes and other performance enhancers.

The shopping there is a collector's paradise.

Yes, exactly. I got a lil lost in it. Lil bit. Found unopened packs of 74 Topps in one card shop. I was a little dubious but one of my brothers got a Nolan Ryan.

OE: and a Steve Carton in the same pack.

Otesaga Hotel or Cooper Inn per chance...

Re: Cooperstown

See the Hall. If you have time for a meal & nice beer, hit the Ommegang Brewery about 10 miles or so away.

Well, duh.

I'm staying down near the Ommegang. It's only open for lunch, though, so last night I had dinner at the Council Rock Brewery, which is a tiny little place on 28, and was really impressed. No bottles, no growlers even... just by the glass. But really good. Might wind up there again tonight; we'll see where the day takes me. Have to actually get some work done at some point too.

Re: Cooperstown

We also ate at Council Rock. In terms of investment, its the exact opposite of Ommegang although it is nice enough. There were a few too many flies buzzing arounnd the dining room the day we went.

Re: Cooperstown

Interesting. I noticed the flies thing too.

Hit the Hall this morning, spent way too much on souvenirs and things on Main Street. Working for a bit back at the hotel, then I'm going to swing by Ommegang for an afternoon "snack."

Re: Cooperstown

There's the one little funky place right by the park in the town center, and I don't remember what it's called, but it's a nice one, with some atmosphere and nice bistro fare.
