Vacations are meant to be a break from the stresses of everyday life –a pause from the chaos. For many of us, it also means taking a break from the heat of our home kitchens and treating ourselves to new dining experiences.
Local restaurants help to build the overall vibe and culture for vacation destinations. Imagine a trip to Maine without lobster pounds, a visit to St. Louis without barbecue joints or a stop in Chicago without deep dish pizzas. The Ticonderoga Area is no different. Our collection of restaurants offer delicious dining opportunities, each unique in their own way, and each lending to our small towns charm.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has certainly changed how we all approach dining out. While a number of restaurants in the Ticonderoga Area still offer indoor seating, there is also a number of alternative ways to enjoy your favorite meal in the region.
