Stories, tips, and local perspectives from across the Finger Lakes.
FitzGerald Brothers runs one of the more interesting transportation operations in the region — a fleet powered by biodiesel, providing ground transportation services that extend well beyond the Finger Lakes into a national footprint. Back-to-back Gold awards for Best Transportation in 2023 and 2024 reflect both the quality of the ride and the values behind […]
Since 1991, Finger Lakes Limousine & Coach has been the name that wedding planners, corporate travel coordinators, and wine trail groups reach for first in the region. Based at 237 Lyons Road in Geneva, the company earned Gold for Best Transportation in 2025 after taking Silver in 2023 — an upward trajectory that tracks with […]
First brewing in 2009, Finger Lakes Beer Company is now an award-winning microbrewery renowned for creating clean, crisp, and flavorful beers using local products. It welcomes visitors with a variety of tasting options and outdoor activities.

Doug's Fish Fry opened on Jordan Street in Skaneateles in 1982 and has been doing essentially one thing — frying fish — better than almost anyone in Central New York ever since.
