Cartwright's Maple Tree Inn, Angelica

My mom's going to kill me for putting this up here.

The Maple Tree Inn is a lot of fun for being located just a hop, skip, and a jump past the middle of nowhere. Western New York is beautiful, the people are friendly, and the food is outrageously good. They started this place as a syrup shack in the 1850’s and have kept adding on tacky additions ever since.

Their menu is simple: all-you-can-eat buckwheat pancakes and their own homemade syrup. My idea of the perfect day is waking up to a fresh coat of snow on the ground, and driving the back roads through Keeney Swamp (if they’re open; they’re seasonal, after all) to stand in line to get into the Maple Tree in before a day of skiing up the road in Swain. Yes, you heard me right: a line.

The Maple Tree Inn is only open from around Valentine’s Day through mid-April – syrup season, basically. So people come from miles around for their pancakes. If you’ve read William Least Heat-Moon’s Blue Highways, know that this is a true, tack-o-rama, bonafide, three-calendar restaurant. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, and my mom has been coming here since she was a kid, and so on. What a place. What pancakes.

For fun, call the pancake hot line at (585) 567-8181.

Taughannock Falls, Trumansburg

Untitled

Fodor’s recommends staying at the Taughannock Farms Inn, which is on 12 acres eight miles north of Ithaca. From there, there’s easy access to five miles of hiking trails in Taughannock Falls State Park. I want to hike the 3/4-mile Gorge Trail and the 3 1/2-mile Rim Loop Trail. They’re closed from January 2 until March 21.

Experience Music Project, Seattle Center

Untitled

EMP has an unbelievable collection of some of rock and roll’s finest memorabilia. I saw both the Art of Modern Rock poster exhibition, and DoubleTake (an unexpected way to see art displayed). The Revolution restaurant is a great way to take a break between exhibits, and their beer samplers are kickass. More than anything, though, pay the extra few bucks for the audio tour that accompanies all the exhibitions. Walking through the Jimi Hendrix exhibit while listening to full-length albums was an amazing experience that I’d love to do again. The whole experience was worth every penny.
