#1 Raquette River Brewery in Tupper Lake

If you like craft beer, stop by Tupper Lake’s Raquette River Brewery where entrepreneur Mark Jessie has expanded his business in record time, winning the Fan Favorite Brewery award and becoming a hot spot for beer and Food Trucks in the region.

In Saranac Lake, coffee lovers delight at Origin Coffee, where entrepreneur Jecinda Wilson sources sustainable coffees from around the world. A trip to stay on a coffee farm in Costa Rica inspired her to start this well-loved Saranac Lake coffee house, where locals line up on crisp mornings for inventive and hot drinks. And a fun note, Origin Coffee now also has a shop in downtown Lake Placid! 

#3 The Breakfast Club in Lake Placid
