Staff Picks Our best bets for local activities Kathleen Peters Graphics Designer Otsego Land Trust The Husband and I are blessed with a beautiful property in Schuyler Lake. We decided several years ago it was worth preserving, and opted to get a conservation easement on our 22 acres through the Otsego Land Trust (OLT). We have our own land to explore and enjoy, but the Land Trust has open spaces available for everyone.…
Staff Dining Picks August 5, 2021 Our Best Bets for Local Dining Larissa Ryan Business Manager SweetFrog Frozen Yogurt I went to SweetFrog Frozen Yogurt recently while doing errands. There were a variety of flavors of frozen yogurt available for self-serve, including mango and cookies and cream. I chose to get a mix of cookies and cream and cake batter.

Staff Dining Picks Our best bets for local dining Larissa Ryan Business Manager Stagecoach Coffee If you’re walking around downtown Cooperstown and get a bit hungry (or just need a coffee or tea or other beverage), take a left at the flagpole going toward the lake and on your right will be Stagecoach Coffee.

Staff Picks Our Best Bets for local dining Delicious pasta, salad with salmon and a great view Larissa Ryan, Business Manager Lakefront Restaurant Dine by the lake in style at the Lakefront Restaurant.

However, I, being something of a creature of habit, went…
