A Delicious Meal Out That Actually Saves Money

Christmas or New Year's Dinner Out

Each year we round up restaurants offering holiday specials for Christmas or New Year's, or even Thanksgiving.

After you add up ingredients, supplies, and decor for a holiday meal at home (we know you're springing for a festive centerpiece), it can actually cost more than going out.

Try a new tradition this year and make a reservation at a Lake George area restaurant!

Winter Walks & Window Shopping

Winter walks and window shopping are the best when they're around a beautifully decorated town, village, or city at the holidays. Both Lake George Village and Glens Falls do a fantastic job of getting festive.

Take a stroll, maybe pop into a shop or two, or allow yourself to spend a few bucks grabbing a cup of coffee or hot chocolate at Caffe Vero in Lake George, or SPoT Coffee in Glens Falls. That's cost efficient, and you'll keep up your fitness routine getting those steps in!
