I prefer to buy local, and this store had a lot of variety from fine jewelry to children's toys. I found some lovely things to remember our lake trip.

I spent a solid hour, just looking at everything and was able to select a few small gifts. The shop is carefully curated to feature a wide array of offerings that well represent the area and its resources to great lengths. Given some of these, I am certain I will be back before the holiday season has ended!

Visited the shop to find a gift for my 94 year old father in law. Cute gift shop and was able to…read morefind some perfect books that I know he will enjoy. If you're looking for a gift shop, stop here on Main St Canandaigua.

I have always appreciated this shop and my brother-in-law has made a practice of including a visit…read morethere everytime he is in town. During his last few visits, however, he has not been welcomed by the employees, in fact he has felt as if the employee prefers he leaves. He has found the attitude of the employee to be rude and he suspects he will not return. In this culture of online shopping, it does not seem to be in your best interest to have employees with these types of attitudes.

I had a chance yesterday to stop into a new shop on Main Street in Canandaigua. Charlotte julienne…read morewas like a modern walk in an old world shop. They sell gorgeous handmade wood bowls and handmade vases. Food fit for the pickiest of foodies! It suits or little Lake City so we well! I got to meet the owner, Amy. Definitely take a chance to stop in and say hello to her. She's super friendly and very knowledgeable about what she carry's. The shop itself is decorated farmhouse chic and fits the space perfectly! I really enjoyed my experience there!

Typical gift shop selections with a fair representation of locally made foodstuffs. Also have antiques for sale and grocery items (at least they did the last time I was there!). I've had very good subs from their deli. A nice all-around place to spend a few hours poking around!

Family with two young girls and grandparents (six total) showed up at 6 on a Sunday night in this…read morevacation town. Seated immediately. Extremely helpful staff. Rachel our server was great at getting the girls real coloring books and a big assortment of crayons. Somebody is really thinking about the little kids. Huge selection of New York beers, wines, and ciders. I tasted the girl's cheese pizza. This is not your average cheese pizza. I truly wish I had taken the time to analyze the complexity of the sauce, because I would love to make something half as nice. Omah (the grandmother, my wife) had fried ravioli. The shells were nice, golden and crunchy. But the cheese filling was some magical mixture of mozz and ricotta that dazzled my tongue. I had the NY Burger. Background: I am not a New Yorker. I was raised in the deep South, and up to now had questioned the value of anything "New York." (Excepting my grandchildren and their mom, of course.) I expect pretentious and parochial, over-priced and lacking value. The burger I had at New York Kitchen was the best I've ever had. I'm 72. I'm a meat eater. I've eaten thousands and thousands of burgers. Hands down this was the best, ever. The meat itself was super tasty and juicy, perfectly cooked to my specification. The brioche roll was perfect. The Bibb lettuce and tomato perfect, too. The sauce? Magic and mystifying. I didn't expect a lot going in to the restaurant, because the architecture is striking. (In my experience, focus on environment takes focus off the food. New York Kitchen breaks all of my rules. I am so happy to have been there. Thanks to my son and his family!

We came here as an anniversary date to do the Fall Chef's Table (cooking) class for October and it…read morewas definitely a very unique and interactive date experience to do. The ambience and gardens outside were also wonderful and wish we came a bit earlier to enjoy the lake views. Check-in is easy and classroom is right when you come in. The stations were well laid out with everything you needed. Our Chef Eli was very entertaining and we learnt some new knife cutting skills. The menu for us was German Oktoberfest themed with pork schnitzel, homemade spaetzle, and a harvest sauté vegetables. We throughly enjoyed the experience and class also came with 2 drinks and the meal you cooked together to enjoy. It was nice to support this wonderful 501c3 organization but do think the tickets are quite pricey for what you get.
