Iconic Laf-A-Lot reopens on Loon Lake after massive rebuild in Wayland

Everyone is smiling again at the Laf-A-Lot. An iconic Steuben County lakeside bar and restaurant reopened recently after a complete rebuild by its new owners. The Laf -A-Lot on Loon Lake is "pouring beers once again," Chuck Cavallaro posted Nov. 2 on the "What's going on around Wayland" Facebook page. The bar's signature cocktail, the Blue Whale, is presumably being mixed and poured again, too. The Laf-A-Lot had been closed since December 2025. Former owners Ed and Paula Kauffman sold the 100 Laf A Lot Road business to Chuck Cavallaro and his wife, Joanne Cavallaro, in March 2026. The couple, along with family members and even many of Cavallaros' neighbors on Loon Lake, immediately got to work restoring the existing bar and restaurant. “The next day (after the sale closed) I was at the bar with a crowbar and a hammer, and we started taking stuff apart," Chuck Cavallaro, a semi-retired medical doctor, told The Evening Tribune last spring. The old bar and restaurant was essentially stripped down to its studs and rebuilt, with the old floor and roof replaced, a new bar installed and a larger kitchen with updated equipment constructed. The Cavallaros documented nearly every step in the

Taste Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stouts in Corning, support Bampa's House

The Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout 30-Year Vertical Tasting Journey will be held Saturday, Nov. 14 at Carey's Brew House on Bridge Street in Corning, to raise money for the Bampa's House. Joe Carey, owner of Carey's Brew House and a longtime member of the Bampa's House Board of Directors, said the Art of Beer & Food, a multi-course experience, will begin at 4 p.m. Saturday at Carey's Brew House. "It will feature 30 years of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout beer collection," Carey said. "You will never find another tasting like this of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout except if you were at the Brooklyn brewery." Carey said much of the Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout collection was done by Jim Dugan, whose family established Bampa's House after he passed away on Feb. 21, 2016, at the age of 68, after a battle with cancer. "Carey is a cornerstone of the people in the community that help build Bampa's," said Steve Ritter, President of Bampa's House. "We are a community organization, and when we get people like Carey, and Carey's Brew House behind us to do these fundraisers, it means the world to us. It keeps us going because we don't receive any

The 10 Remote Finger Lakes, New York Diners Most Travelers Never Find

Breakfast at one country diner can cost less than a fancy coffee, and I love that math. The doors open at 5 AM, so early birds can dig in before most alarms even ring. Getting to places like that usually means leaving the busy lakeside traffic far behind you. You’ll roll down quiet county roads between the lakes, where the towns seem to get smaller with every mile.

New pub opens near Honeoye Lake with beef on weck, burgers | Exclusive

Meech is a beloved pet, specifically April Baylor's Chihuahua Daschund pug, a 10-year-old chiweenie who curls up under desk. Meech is also in the name of Baylor's pub, which opened over the Halloween weekend near Honeoye Lake in the space that most recently housed various incarnations of the Valley Inn, and has been in use, off and on, as a restaurant for years. Even before opening, it seems Meech's was on everyone's lips. "Everyone asks," Baylor said. "It's so funny." Baylor, 26, has worked in the food industry for years, mostly serving and bartending. When this place came up for sale, Honeoye's small-town vibe was a perfect fit for Baylor's small-town vibe. "A girl with a dream," said Baylor, a Rushville native who said she has worked all over Canandaigua, Bristol and Naples through the years. Baylor loves the people aspect of the food service industry, seeing people from all walks of life and meeting people from all over. The fast-paced environment is a bonus. "Some of my best friends are people I've met from behind the bar or sitting next to them at a bar or restaurant," Baylor said. On the Meech's Pub menu Expect to choose from a
