...Family Value. The Smiley family has run Mohonk Mountain House in New York's Hudson Valley for 140 years, so it's no surprise they've perfected the art of hospitality, welcoming guests with touches like afternoon tea and homemade cookies every day. To commemorate the hotel's founding, the chef is re-introducing the first dishes served in the dining room, like codfish cakes, German potato pancakes, and cinnamon-raisin bread pudding. With its old-fashioned sitting room, complete with fireplace and comfy reading chairs (and no TVs blaring to disrupt your reverie), the hotel is famous...
...Baseball and Opera Buffs. In Cooperstown, NY - home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the Glimmerglass Opera - the four-star Otesaga Resort Hotel, located right on the banks of Lake Otsego is celebrating its 100th season.

...quick case and find there's no bar and no smoking in the dining room or parlor, for crying out loud, when a writer name of Donald E. Westlake gets us all together to give us the story line. For openers, we ain't in the Mohonk Mountain House no more; we're in something called the Hotel Kuckkuckuhr, in Switzerland, and it's 1938. Then Westlake shows us this black-and-white flick that's more black than white, which is to say I'm talking poor quality, of some dumpity guy, a real lard bucket, being bothered...
...place she drags me to turns out not to be no dump but more like a castle. Couple of Quaker brothers name of Smiley started it in 1869. Goes by the moniker of Mohonk Mountain House. It's 80 or 90 miles north of the city (I say the city because we all say the city, but if it's not your city I should say New York City). The place and the grounds are a real knockout, and the folks are nuts about plants, which grow in the ground, instead of in pots, where everybody knows God intended them...
