Upstate New York Summertime Restaurants That Deserve More Credit

The warmer weather is on the way for Utica, Rome, Central New York, and all of Upstate New York. That means enjoying amazing summertime foods and drinks. Are you ready?

There's nothing like walking outside and hanging by the water at Oneida Lake, or up North in Old Forge. Maybe one of your favorite summer activities is just relaxing on an outdoor patio with food and a beer.

We have plenty of amazing restaurants around Central New York, but sometimes you hear about the same ones over and over again. We aren't saying those popular places aren't amazing, because they are, but there are some that don't get nearly enough credit. That's where this list was inspired.

Also, think of this idea too- County fairs. All of our County Fairs are some of the greatest hallmarks of an Upstate New York summer. It all leads to the big dance of The Great New York State Fair. All of these fairs have one delicious fact in common- They offer amazing fair food. Is the taste of summer fried dough for you? Or, is that taste of summer a candied apple with cotton candy? Perhaps the burger is king for you during summer time.

We took to Facebook and asked several local food pages, restaurant review pages, and general pages of summertime restaurants that deserve a moment in the spotlight. Here are 10 summertime restaurants in Central New York that deserve way more credit. If you have some suggestions, text us on our station app:
