This Boonville New York Buffet Stacks Generous Portions On The Table And Keeps Locals Coming Back

Sixteen hot dishes, eight cold salads, a bread station, and a dessert station all share one all-you-can-eat spread. That is a lot of table space for a country store. The funny thing is, the buffet started as a marketing idea during a slow snowmobile season. It worked so well that it stuck around.

The Secret Taps of Central New York: Where To Find Free, Fresh Spring Water

We all have ways of saving some money, some a little more unique than others. When it comes to water, especially drinking water, things could get costly. For those in areas with sulfur water or higher levels of contaminants, sometimes bottled is the only option. Personally, I prefer tap water and always have. Sure, I won't turn down a bottle of purified 'fancy" water if it's free.

Adjusting to hot weather deer hunting amid a warm fall | Column

Hopefully, the hot weather archery season is over, and we can get back to some normal temps. We expect cool and sometimes cold temperatures during bow season. Most deer hunters in the northern states imagine their time in the woods to be in cool, if not frigid weather. We dress for it, plan on it, discuss and buy our camo and gear for colder temperatures to be able to deal with the cold days in the woods. But things have changed. October of 2026 had to be one of the warmest on record here in the Northeast, specifically Western New York. It rained at the end of the first week of the bow season, and then was bone dry well into November, despite the prognostications of the weather experts that since we are in an El Nino year, our autumn would be warmer (they got that right) and wetter than usual. Wrong on the latter. Didn’t rain for almost a month! Yes, there are those of us who yearn for cool ... some call it cold weather. We've had enough of the summer heat, don't mind scraping frost off our windshields in the morning, and glad to say good riddance
