We are up in Lake Placid for what has become an annual Thanksgiving pilgrimage. We hang out at Whiteface Lodge with family and wander into town at least once. The Bookstore Plus is crammed full of good stuff - from books to cards to art supplies. Like many of the stores I've been in, they have reviews for books taped beneath the books. What I liked about these reviews was that they were only a sentence or two and proffered an easy to understand synopsis or opinion, "It's sad but so worth the read." They also have section of books about the Adirondacks, including memoirs by local folks.
I made two purchases - Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell, billed has, "House meets the Sopranos," and Growing Up in Lake Placid by Barbara Kelly, a memoir (interesting fact - Kelly was present at both the 1932 and 1980 Olympics).
You can find The Bookstore Plus on the web at: http://www.thebookstoreplus.com/
Two of our favorite places to eat are Lisa Gs (http://www.lisags.com/) which has a little bit of everything and The Good Bite Kitchen (http://thegoodbitekitchen.com/) a small vegetarian place that is out of this world.
