I didn't quit know what to expect when my parents informed me that we were going to Lake Placid for a little getaway. I knew the Olympics had been held there, so I knew there had to be a village of some sort. However, once we got there I was surprised by the cabin-esque little neighborhood. It had tons of nooks like this Alpine Mall, which just so happens to connect to the hotel we stayed at. It was most definitely a tourist town. Store after store of USA team apparel (especially Hockey) and Lake Placid t- shirt fronts. Of course there were a few restaurants, but not a great range of options. It was cute and woodsy as an upstate town would expect. It lacked basic necessities like a pharmacy or a supermarket, so buying ingredients was never an option.
This was my favorite store by far. The town has about six candy stores (I'm not joking around, you hit one every few steps) but only one popcorn store. They have a series of popcorn to buy with all different themes - muddy boots, s'mores, birthday cake and so much more. I liked the salted carmel and s'mores out of the ones I tried. Who doesn't love pretzels and carmel or chocolate and marshmallow! It had an old school penny- candy vibe inside and the popcorn was delicious. I may just be munching on what I have left while I compose this....
I didn't take a picture of the creperie, but it's across the street and half sandwich shop/crepe place. Not the best s'more crepe (I love s'more everything) but the sandwiches seemed to be really popular.
I hope you enjoyed this post!
See you soon,
Claire
