This was an unexpected gem of an art museum in the heart of Utica. We came here on a half-day trip…read morefrom Cooperstown (1 hour away on rural roads) for a brief visit and had modest expectations. The MWPAI has two main buildings and includes a lovely collection of paintings and sculptures. The highlight of the museum is the set of paintings by Thomas Cole on the top floor of the main building. These works illustrate various stages in one's life cycle from youth to middle-age to older-age. I was impressed by the quality of the collection here and a visiting exhibit of works by a contemporary artist from Atlanta. We arrived around 11:30am on a Thursday and went immediately to the Terrace Cafe after a quick restroom stop. The cafe is open from 11am to 3pm Tuesdays through Saturdays and has outdoor seating. I was impressed by the quality of our bistro-style lunch prepared by a professional chef. We enjoyed some iced tea and the fried deviled eggs with horseradish, dijon and scallions as an appetizer. My 13-year old son devoured his MWP burger (mustard-whiskey-peppercorn glaze), while I had the Saratoga Quiche which was light and refreshing. We were too full for dessert. Who knew that Utica could provide an elegant yet affordable lunch with a lovely outdoor view? Be sure to ask the waiter for recommendations on main dishes and appetizers. Although the service can be a bit slow, it's a delightful spot for a leisurely lunch where you can relax and unwind. My wife, teenage sons (15 yrs, 13 yrs) and I really enjoyed our short day trip to Utica. MWPAI was a highlight along with Utica Coffee Roasters and the half-moon cookies from Hemstrought Bakery.

Like the song, "Where do I begin??"…read more Our experience with Pete and Karen has been beyond complete. Anyone who's read my blather on social media knows that I'm both verbose and intensely interested in many things, not the least of which is how someone treats others. From the very start, Pete and Karen have responded to my many questions and concerns regarding our competent and skilled treatment of our eventual (and that's another story, as I used to row a very skinny boat) purchase of a *used* (translation: low profit - but, read on) Alden 18. That boat was as described: A small ding on the nose, of no consequence to structure, and brand-new, factory-wrapped Oarmasters (the sliding seat and riggers drop-in units) and carbon fiber hatchet sculling oars, delivered competently (I say with some knowledge, as I helped the manufacturer of my then-owned-double-and-single sculls do a couple of springs' worth of deliveries to the east-of-Mississippi US, coast and environs, teaching folks how to do sliding seat rowing). That said, I no doubt was a challenging customer, as I pestered them with incessant questions as the evolution of our eventual storage in our boathouse, and on the configuration of the launch-retrieve platform my son and I built evolved. AND, they didn't ask for payment until the spring deliveries could be scheduled (the delivery folks were already booked for January, when the deal was struck verbally). But back to my questions: Every time, they were happily answered, in detail, including two lengthy phone conversations with Pete - one early on, and just today, what (probably they and I both hope will be the last!) will be the culmination of their insanely patient customer support. There's no 10-star rating available, or I'd use it. If you're in the market for a sliding seat rowing boat of any stripe, maker and competence level, there's no way I can adequately convey my joy at working with them. But suffice (at last!! you say ) to say, they're a joy to work with.

I'm giving 1 star because I have no lower option. The teacher (Imani) was fantastic, but the semi…read moreprivate lessons are a ripoff. The owner charged me $500 for 2 kids to take four 30-minute semi private lessons (when both kids were swimming, one sat on the steps while the other got instruction, so they basically only got to swim for 15 minutes each). I later learned that Ashley charges roughly that same amount for each kid to get their own four private 30-minute lessons! I asked about this discrepancy and the owner ignored the query for several weeks. When she did call me directly, she just said this was the policy and refused my request for a refund. (FWIW, I initially only communicated to her via text message because she was recommended by a friend; she never sent me any company policy information until after I had paid.) AVOID!

When I was a kid I hated going to swimming lessons. My sister hated going to swimming lessons…read more Pretty much everyone I knew hated to go to swimming lessons. My kids don't hate it. In fact they kinda like it. Actually, they really like it. And for that I blame Ashley. We were recommended to her by an adult friend who worked with her to improve his own swimming. But Ashley is great with kids. Now my children are pool safe. I can trust that they can fall in a pool and not drown. We are not a terribly athletic family, so we have no Olympic dreams. Still, the kids continue to work with Ashley to get stronger and stronger in the pool. Maybe if she were meaner like the swim teachers of my youth, the kids might progress a little faster. But it's also possible their slow progress is just genetic and based on the fact that outside of their time with Ashley they spend almost all of their hours on dry land. On the practical side, Ashley is great to work with and has been exceedingly flexible with my crazy schedule, and I appreciate that immensely. But that nice to the kids thing? That's still hard to take.
