Hey guys, I just saw this thread and thought I'd chime in.
Last year, while back in the states, I met up with a bunch of old college mates, for a weekend in Watkins Glen. We stayed/feasted/drank at the Seneca Lodge. That place has one of the coolest bars I've ever had the pleasure of drinking in. Legendary stories about the place.
If you haven't been there before... I suggest you check it out.
(Oh, and have one for me!)
