After touring the Olympic Museum, I took some time to walk through the original 1932 "Jack Shea…read moreArena" and the more modern 1980 "Herb Brooks Arena" that are part of the Olympic sites. The 1932 arena was home to the first indoor skating events in Olympic history and of course the 1980 arena is where the USA Men's Hockey Team won gold over the heavily favored Soviet Team. Pretty darned awesome to see these sites where history happened. And the self-guided tour is free. The Olympic Museum is not. [Round number review 1600 of 2024 - 514 in New York - 22623 overall]

Stepping inside the center was such exciting experience- we were able to see memorabilia's inside the museum, was able to witness intermediate hockey league inside the historic skating arena, was able to see the Olympic skaters dressing rooms and was able to roam around looking on important plaques, photos and banners of Olympic historian athletes. The place is small but gives big opportunity for guests to embrace the world known Olympic history that had happened there.

The…read morebuffet was much better than expected, with a solid selection that included salad, wings, pizza, and quesadillas. The facility itself is clean, well maintained, and clearly well run. There's a nice variety of things to do beyond bowling, including arcade games and batting/golf simulators, so it's easy to spend a few hours here with family or friends. Overall, a fun spot with good food, plenty of activities, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for something to do in Lake Placid.

I recently stopped by Big Z in Lake Placid and tried their spicy chicken sandwich with fries…read more Overall, it was okay -- nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either. The spicy chicken sandwich was pretty basic. I was expecting a little more kick, but the heat level was mild at best. The chicken itself was decent, but it didn't have that bold flavor or crispiness that makes you crave it again. It felt more like a standard chicken sandwich with a light seasoning rather than something truly "spicy." The fries were actually the highlight of the meal. They were hot, crispy, and seasoned well -- definitely better than the sandwich in my opinion. If I were to go back, it would probably be more for the fries than the main dish. The restaurant itself was nice and clean, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Staff seemed fine and everything looked well kept, which I definitely appreciate. However, the price of the food didn't quite match the flavor or overall experience. For what you pay, I was expecting something a bit more memorable.

We stayed at the High Peaks resort right next door, and their boats weren't out for the season yet - Mirror Lake Boat Rental to the rescue! NOTE: if you are planning to go soon (this review is being written on 4/27/21) this boat rental shop will be VERY DIFFICULT to find. You need to look for the sign I have in my photos that tells you to text the number provided, then follow the dirt path behind the construction to the little desk that will give you instructions. This shop technically does have open hours, but we had to text the owner Greg upon arrival and then waited for him to come down and rent us a boat. In the future, I would recommend just texting before heading down there and meeting him when he's already there. Check out their website for full details of cost and times and such. $30/hour for most of your standard boats, including the fun bikes! We opted for a paddle boat so we could save money and be out on the water together. The hour flew by even though it was a little chilly when the wind blew. Cash only, which is inconvenient but understandable considering this biz is fully outside, and there's an ATM at the resort across the street if you need it. This is a great way to see Mirror Lake from a new vantage point and is TONS of fun. Happy boating!

It seems that at some point it was moved here to the parking lot of a business from a shorter concrete slab in the woods. It's not really the tallest filing cabinet. It's a stack of regular-height filing cabinets attached to one another into a column, so it's less impressive or creative. Structurally, it is a vertical stack of separate cabinets turned into a sculpture, not a purpose-built giant cabinet with 38 drawers. It's covered by vandals' stickers and markings. It hasn't been treated and since they aren't meant to be outdoors, rust and weather damage has taken severe effect. Each drawer represents a year of bureaucratic delays related to a proposed highway project in Burlington called the Southern Connector, first proposed in 1965. Some of the drawers contain catalogued fragments of a shredded red Volkswagen Beetle. Of course, you can't see it though.
