The artichoke pizza is our favorite. Western New York has the highest per capita population of Italian people and this is a real Italian deli. I always grab a Half Moon cookie because they are freshly baked.

Take the kayaks under the bridge (just past the public docks in front of the "bird cage" hotel) and it opens up into a network of ponds. We've even kayaked through Lagoon Park to Wegmans for groceries.

The historic City Pier is known for the romantic boathouses. From the cottage to the end of the Pier and back is approximately 2 miles and well worth it, day or night. The sidewalks are level and well lit.

The manager, Suzie, is very nice and they offer a huge selection of beer, from Pale Ales to Reds. They often have live music and the view down the lake is incredible.

Yes, Walmart sucks, but let's face it, sometimes you need cheap plastic items during your vacation. So I'll reluctantly pin it. A much better shopping experience and better quality items await you at the nearby "Runnings" store.

Essentials
Wegmans is one reason why Alec Baldwin's mother won't leave New York State. There's nothing that compares. The selection is fresh and the staff is friendly. The Owner lives on Canandaigua Lake so you know he's going to make sure this store is perfect.
