"If you want a weekend getaway that’s a little less remote, head to Mirror Lake Inn. The resort and spa’s shore-side restaurant and cafe, The Cottage, serves up New American classics like maple BBQ pulled pork, flatbread pizzas, and roast beef in a dog-friendly setting. Where you could try your luck at winning big: Newman’s News (2523 Main Street, Lake Placid, NY 12946) and Bowlwinkles (2750 Main Street, Lake Placid, NY 12946)." - Julia Gómez Kramer
