Gastro Getaway: Lake Placid. Trade the hustle and bustle of city life for the tranquility of Lake Placid, nestled in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains. Will and Matthias take you on a scenic journey along the picturesque 46-mile loop of Routes 3 and 86, a route that showcases the breathtaking beauty of upstate New York in every season.
In winter, the drive is a wonderland of sparkling snow-drift landscapes, with the iconic peaks of Whiteface and McKenzie Mountain rising majestically in the distance. Come autumn, the region transforms into a kaleidoscope of fiery reds, golden yellows, and deep oranges as the foliage bursts into full color under the sun-dappled sky. The journey itself is as much a destination as the town of Lake Placid.
Upon arrival, the duo settles into the luxurious Lake Placid Lodge, a retreat that offers peace, charm, and stunning views of the lake. Set on the edge of this serene body of water, the lodge provides a perfect base for exploring the area’s natural beauty or simply unwinding in comfort. Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, Lake Placid is the perfect getaway. Plan your escape to this Adirondack haven and let the serene charm of Lake Placid renew your spirit.
