Thanks for all of the amazing suggestions. I cannot wait to get up to Lake Placid so that I can start drinking beer and eating amazing food while others compete in a grueling physical challenge....

I will post an update with my findings next week.

A friend of mine is competing in the ironman in Lake Placid next weekend and I will be escaping from the city to watch him. I am trying to plan one great meal while I am there. I have read some of the other Lake Placid posts, but still do not feel like I am ready to commit to any one restaurant. Is there any restaurant in particular that I cannot miss?

On a separate note, I am a homebrewer and love craft beer. Is the Lake Placid brew pub worth a lunch visit?

Thanks in advance!

Fantastic. I called and they do, in fact, have quail. Thanks!

Hello. I am from NYC and am visiting my parents for Christmas in the northwest suburbs. I was hoping to cook quail for Christmas, but to my dismay am having a very difficult time finding a butcher who has it. Any suggestions for where I can find quail or dove nearby? I would prefer a place in the suburbs, but could have my sister pick it up in the city if necessary.

Thanks!
