Our Adirondack Coast attracts thousands of visitors each year as they seek out opportunities to explore our stunning region and participate in some of their favorite activities.
And who doesn’t list “eating” among favorite activities?
While the entire Adirondack Coast offers fun and fresh foodie stops along your journey, it’s no secret that the greater Plattsburgh area is home to our largest collection of eateries. At the center of it all, visitors will find a wide range of options.
Here are some ideas for where to explore our year-round restaurant and agriculture delicacies.
In eclectic downtown Plattsburgh, visitors explore unique local restaurants amidst micro-city charm. From upscale American cuisine staples like Irises Cafe & Wine Bar to more recent innovative additions like the Twisted Carrot, this downtown is ripe with choices to pick from, including Italian, Mexican, Greek, Himalayan, Asian and other delicious cuisines.
Valcour Brewing Company, known for its high-end pub food and growing tap list, draws visitors and locals to Plattsburgh’s U.S. Oval, where food and brew cravings can be explored along with sides of history and intrigue. Not to mention, less than a half a mile’s walking distance from Valcour is Oval Craft Brewing—another brewery, this one located in the base’s repurposed fire house, with its parking lot home to some of the area’s favorite food trucks during warmer months. And keep an eye out for trucks like Twisted Pita and The Dogfather Food Cart parked during summers in downtown Plattsburgh!
