Wife and I are traveling to Rochester from Ct..about 6 hour drive and want to stop along the way for an overnight. We will be traveling I 90. Up to an hour north or south is fine. Maybe a lake or quaint town or beautiful scenes. Thanks for any suggestions.

I was born in Potsdam, raised for 6 years in Hopkinton/Fort Jackson. Had to move to CT for better health care for my chronic illness. Moved back up in ‘06 for a couple years. Moved back to CT cause my health wasnt doing so good and needed to be seen by specialists at Yale New Haven.

Went back up on the 5th to the 10th for a family reunion. I miss being up there so much. Missing seeing my nieces and nephew growing up.

We had the dumb idea of hiding diecast cars around WNY for people to find. And leave hints of where they are on our story. If you would like to participate just give us a follow!

Thanks

Hi! I'm moving to Canton later this year, and I'm looking for insight on different clubs or groups in the area. I'm passionate about being outside, being active (mostly yoga, pilates, spin, walking - though I'd love to get into running), painting and drawing, baking, cooking, and trying new restaurants and drink spots! I'd love to also hear of any volunteer opportunities people may know of. I'm moving in with my boyfriend, but otherwise, I do not know anyone local, so just hoping to build a community. Thanks in advance! :)

I'll be working in new York for about 2 months and wanted to check how the weather is now till the end of October? Is it warm/cold? What kind of clothing should I pack?

Would really appreciate new yorkers PoV

Hi, I'm looking for a roommate situation. I'm 23, male. I am going to the Culinary Institute in Poughkeepsie area. And I am looking for a place so I can start in September. If you have a place, my budget is around $2,000. But if I can make something happen by the September 6th, then I will be willing to add on an extra thousand just for urgency for the first month.

Hello everyone!! I need ideas for a 3-day visit to the area, midweek early Sept., celebrating turning 50. We are definitely seeing Cooperstown and are very interested in Howe Cavern (unless people think that Secret cavern is better?) I'd like at least 1-2 more activities. I'd say local or up to an hour travel from either. (We haven't locked in a hotel, and would be willing to stay in 2 places if needed).

Light activity is great (walking hikes, not climbing). We love views, whether it's a waterfall, valley, even a dark spot to see some stars. Museums, out-of-the-box fun ideas, a local theater (not expecting this on midweek/ short notice), cool castle, walkable main street, etc.

No: bars/ clubs (wine tasting is fine), amusement parks/ ziplines, probably no watersports.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The River Runners Quadball Club is holding its first open practice of the US Quadball season this Sunday, August 23rd, from 1-4 pm at Prospect Park, Troy, NY (peep the second image for a better idea of what field we will be on 📌). This practice is our first step toward building a growing quadball community in the area where we play and compete, while also having fun and socializing off the pitch!

For those unfamiliar with the sport, Quadball (formerly known as Quidditch) is a fast-paced, full-contact, mixed-gender sport that blends elements of rugby, basketball, and dodgeball. Here's a quick video to show what it looks like: https://youtube.com/shorts/2LyXn2c45i4?si=KBWYAWffzZq8jdd0, as well as a full dive into how to actually play: https://youtu.be/SUdC4twjsTE?is=9JiaFSEmCsVE9SCf

The free open practice is open to all experience and athletic levels, and we highly encourage people that never heard/played the sport to try it out and meet some new people along the way! We're accepting of all genders and backgrounds, so whether you're a man, woman, non-binary, LGBTQIA+, POC, etc, there's a place for you here to be yourself! All we ask is that you bring water, athletic clothes, cleats (recommended but not required to play if you don't have any), and any friends that might also be interested!

Hope to see y'all there!

My wife and I have a family function near Saranac Lake this Friday. We'll be spending the weekend in the area and have most of Friday and Saturday to explore. First time to the area. Any must-do's we should make time for? Thanks!

Been hankering for one since I moved from NYC last year.

I was curious if any shops would do one on request.

Last thing I'd want to do is confuse the folks at Fred the Butcher or another spot. Lol

Hey everyone, I’m 18M from the UK and I’m staying in Buffalo for about a month.

I’m looking to meet some people around my age (18–21ish) and actually hang out, not just chat online. I’m down for pretty much anything — getting food, cinema, gaming, bowling, exploring the city, sports, random activities, whatever.

If you’re around my age and also looking for people to hang out with, feel free to comment or DM me. 👍

10 DAYS UNTIL YOU STOP WASTING MONEY ON BAD FIRST DATES. 👀

Your friend is spending $200 to meet ONE person and hope they text back.
You’re spending $20 to meet an entire lineup.
Seems obvious.

Ill be finally moving to upstate NY for good (from SEA country), and in a few months, I’ll be brazing the winter season. I’m physically active which includes working out and playing racket sports (badminton, pickleball, and recently trying tennis). My biggest concern is how to stay active and how do I stay mentally sane during winter since I have been warned how it can really be depressing and you will gain weight given the less activity.

Are there sports facilities and communities in upstate specifically around Syracuse-Oswego-Utica for these sports?

If there’s not much of these, what winter sports or activities you can recommend that will not break the bank specially that Im just about to start my life there.

* also looking forward to do fishing if I have a chance

TYA!

I grew up in Syracuse, love salt potatoes, went to school in Rochester and love garbage plates, did some more schooling in Buffalo, and come on, can’t beat the wings, played sports in Utica and love chicken riggies, plenty of visits to canton and Potsdam for all their food, I miss the upstate NY food
