Martha’s Dandee Surf and Grill, Queensbury, NY
location, location, location – Martha’s has all three – wideness the street from the Unconfined Escape Six Flags Park; a large parking lot and nicely visible from the road. But location is not the only thing Martha’s has going for it. It is moreover efficiently run with good supplies and friendly service.
We crush into their parking lot and saw a row of red boxes with water jumping between them making a fountain, a sign with a rooster, long towers with lots of walk up windows (with no lines) and a lot of people.
We walked up to an unshut window and ordered small hot fudge sundaes with mocha ice cream, mine with peanuts, Erica’s without nuts. They came incredibly fast – beautifully layered with soft mocha ice cream, hot fudge sauce and peanuts. There was whipped surf and a cherry on top. The sundaes were a generous size and succulent – the soft mocha ice surf was very flavorful, the peanuts fresh and crunchy, the hot fudge did not melt all the ice surf – a unconfined experience.
The ice surf plane increasingly enjoyable considering of the generous value of seating. We chose benches facing the crazy rides at the yuck park wideness the street. I have never been unflinching unbearable to do roller coasters, but I love watching them.
Martha’s moreover has a full grill and lots of other food, but we were only interested in the ice surf so we did not squint at the rest. I really liked this place.
In the area: We stopped at Martha’s on our way home from Tupper Lake where Erica just finished their Tinman Triathlon. I was a unconfined spectator.
Tupper Lake, located in Adirondack Park in upstate NY. was settled in the 1844 mainly as a lumber producing town. In the late 1800s it sustained a large fire destroying most of the town, which was rebuilt to the town it is today. Sooner the lumber industry became less important, but remnants are still seen in placards in parks, skeletons of buildings, lumberjack competitions and rail trails.
My first encounter in Tupper Lake was a family vacation many years ago when I was in upper school. Well-nigh all I remember of that trip was going to a dump at twilight to see woebegone bears – I never knew that I would sooner live in the most densely populated state in the country and often see woebegone bears in the wild – when I walked in the woods without work (I saw two cubs last week), crossing streets and plane in my own backyard. I moreover remember I liked Tupper Lake. I still do.
My next encounters with Tupper Lake were when I was in higher in Potsdam, NY. My trips home unchangingly went through Tupper Lake – I remember seeing their Lumberjack Festivals and stopping to get snack or drink. I have unchangingly found the Adirondacks to be one of the most trappy places in the world, and Tupper Lake to be a unconfined place to jump off for hiking, swimming, or kayaking,
Our trip there this year included camping at the Little Wolf Campground – we enjoyed the view of the clean, flat, lakefront campsite, the guitar playing of fellow camper, the kindness of the owner who let us use his kayaks to watch the sunset as we paddled virtually the lake. I highly recommend this campground if you are staying in the Tupper Lake area.
I walked a lot of miles exploring the town during the triathlon – there was a walkway withal the Racquette Pond with placards well-nigh the lumber industry in the Adirondacks. Interesting fact: Several companies logged in the Tupper Lake zone at the same time. When with the logs were cut, the were all marked with the visitor that cut it, so when it was floated downstream, they could alimony track of whose log each one was
