The Southern Tier of New York and Northeast Pennsylvania have so many places to enjoy live music, both in local bars, events as well as larger venues like the Visions Veterans Memorial Arena, The Forum, Tags in Big Flats, Bethel Woods in Bethel N.Y., the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre, New York State Fair and Lakeview Amphitheater in Syracuse to name a few. The summer concert season amps up our choices of great shows to enjoy.

Aside from my wife's cooking (of course, I needed to mention that!), my favorite meals come from locally owned diners. I have written a few articles in the past, mentioning some of our wonderful diners in the Southern Tier of New York and Northeast Pennsylvania. We certainly have many, and I try to visit as many as possible. Recently, I noticed that USA Today published a USA 10Best article listing the best roadside diners in America, as voted on by their editors and readers.

'Tis the season to get back on the water. As the temperatures ramp up, we love to spend free time on the many lakes and rivers throughout New York State. But, before you do, a reminder from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation - ‘Clean. Drain. Dry.'What exactly does that mean? Well, they are asking New Yorkers to clean, drain, and dry their boats, trailers, fishing gear, and other equipment before they head out on the Empire State's waterways.
