I viewed the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 with two of my favorite people. While at Beaver Lake Nature Center in Baldwinsville, New York, we hiked and visited the nature center gift shop and the art exhibit which included a collection of taxidermized animals. We also had a picnic as we waited for the big event. They had food trucks there including the Carvel ice cream truck. So fun!
In addition, I found two quarters on the ground! Now I am up to $1.31 in found money for 2024. Thank you, Janine and Elaine!
Find The Boutique at 52 Oswego Street, Baldwinsville, New York 13207. It is a lovely little shop in the village that sells clothing for women and babies, as well as accessories and other knick-knacks, and gifts.
I really enjoyed shopping here!
This is the brick and morter store of a former vendor truck. The official name includes the sub-title Fashion Rescue 911. Find them on Facebook here.
They are open Wednesday – Friday noon-5:00 PM and Saturdays 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM. Call (315) 857-6690 for more details.
Presentation: Behold the beauty that is this fish! And perfectly cooked fries. I ordered the fish dinner. My friend ordered the fish sandwich. The sandwich fish is smaller but comes on an oblong sesame seed-topped soft bun.
Taste: Someone in a foodie Facebook group suggested that this fish was the best in Syracuse. I will put this in my top three (Golden Spike and Fish Cove are the other two).
After every bite I was like, this is so good…this is sooo good, which probably annoyed my lunch mates. The fish is fried in peanut oil. It was so moist and tender, and the batter remained firmly on the fish – it didn’t separate the way others do.
So fresh – so amazing!
The coleslaw is very finely chopped and there is a hint of onion in every bite. And the fries were the perfect portion. I noticed they’d already portioned them out into individual baskets and those are fried to order rather than any pre-frying and scooping a la McDonalds. Nicely done, ASC!
I ate everything on my plate and did not feel overly full afterwards. Just content. 🙂
Restaurant Experience: The place is SO CLEAN! It is very small compared to the Fish Cove, which is also a take-out only seafood restaurant. The fryers are directly behind the counter.
There is a refrigerator chock-full of sides including some desserts. We arrived about twenty minutes after they’d opened for business. We’d decided to try the fish yesterday (Thursday) to avoid the suspected crowd for Friday lunch. I’d heard a line forms out the door on Fridays.
About six customers were there when we arrived. After ordering, we paid then stood around and waited for our orders. I feel like it was less than eight minutes? It was very quick.
There is no seating at all. My friend lives down the street so we lunched in her dining room. Food was still hot when we arrived at Dexter Parkway.
Location: Atlantic Seafood Company is located at 69 East Genesee Street, Baldwinsville, NY 13027.
They are open Tuesday-Thursday & Saturday 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM, Friday 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM. Closed Sunday and Monday.
Parking: There is a decent-sized parking lot adjacent to the building. A little tight but not bad when your car beeps at you to indicate that someone or thing is moving behind you.
