Our Honeymoon Spots
See All Lists
1. Bald Mountain
Old Forge, NY 13420
Bald Mountain is just off Route 28 near Old Forge and Eagle River - a great hiking trail with fantastic views, especially if you're brave enough to go up to the top of the fire tower once you're at the top.
Keep in mind that there are some steep…More »
2. Hazelnut Kitchen
This is the kind of place where you stop the server and ask if you can take copies of the menu (thanking a list of local farms and an apiary), a business card, AND wine list home with you in order to attain better Yelp accuracy. Seriously, one of…More »
3. Home Green Home
This is officially my first yelp following my honeymoon, so expect several more as I find time to squeeze them in here and there as we unpack and are back to work (I know - the suspense is killing you).
A very cute and modern green home store focusing…More »
4. Freshwood Grill - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6R 2M3
Canada
(416) 537-1882
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
Sometimes when you're in a big city, especially after spending three days in the middle of nowhere and achieving an impressive degree of relaxation, you just want to know where to go and eat.
Unfortunately, we found ourselves in Toronto without a…More »
5. Domani Restaurant & Wine Bar
Toronto, ON M6R 2M8
Canada
(416) 516-2147
Category:
Wine Bars
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
Stayed in Toronto for a few days for our honeymoon and of course had to eat our way around town. We stayed in Roncesvalle, a Polish neighborhood with a cute strip of shops and restaurants, and only one Subway (and a McDonald's ALL they way at the…More »
6. Museum of Inuit Art
Toronto, ON M5J 1A7
Canada
(416) 640-1571
Category:
Museums
Neighbourhood: Harbourfront
We visited the Museum of Inuit Art on our last full day in Toronto, hoping to hit the island afterwards, but it rained most of the day. That being said, it was pretty much a perfect opportunity to hit a museum, but in this case I'd refer to it as a…More »
7. Just Plain Good
Cool little Life is Good store - actually interesting due to the fact that it's located in a historic bank building - they keep the crocs in the vault. My mom would love this store, all things Life is Good and then some. Not really my cup of tea,…More »
8. Moosewood Restaurant
My wife and I visited Moosewood on our honeymoon - and it was also a great stop to pick up cookbooks, etc. for our families - both of which are fans of the place.
The folks working there were all very nice, definitely a laid back atmosphere and not…More »
9. Cafe Asia
Toronto, ON M5A 1E1
Canada
(416) 955-0963
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
This is a solid 3.5 star review - but gets the 4 rather than the three overall due to the fact that this place potentially saved my marriage in its infancy (if you're reading this, I'm just joking and I love you).
We had gone down to Queen's Quay to…More »
10. Udupi Palace
People living in towns across North America, and who are blessed only with North Indian restaurants, I'm sorry. You see, like J.W. I was also drawn to Indian food by my vegetarianism, and have since discoved the joy of dosas and uttapam. To be…More »
11. Fresh
Toronto, ON M6J 1G3
Canada
(416) 913-2720
Categories:
Vegan,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Stopped by Fresh on our way back to the B&B after a long day of walking, shopping, getting rained on, walking some more, and deciding that we were ready to get out of the city and back into the woods for the final leg of our honeymoon.
Neither of us…More »
12. Ozzie's Coffee Bar
As an FYI, the map is wrong, and mapquest will get you lost coming here - just stay on 28.
ANYHOW - it's our first day in the ADK and we're wandering around town looking for someplace to have lunch. There's a diner that looks ok, but not terribly…More »
13. Knotty Pine Restaurant
There is something everyone should know when going out to eat at nicer restaurants "up north" - and that applies to Wisconsin and New York (and I'm sure Michigan, etc. etc.) - you're going to get pricey food that is good and plentiful, wood paneling,…More »
14. Van Auken's Inne
Bottom line - probably the best value for your seafood dollar we've experienced yet.
Van Auken's was up the street from our B&B and so on the last night of our time in Thendara (so cute) we followed our host's suggestion that we check out the seafood…More »
15. Adirondack Saddle Tours Inc
Eagle Bay, NY 13331
(315) 357-4499
Once again, disregard the map, it's WAY off, follow 28 to Uncas.
My new wife and I were hanging out up north and trying to think of things to do, and she brought up the idea of going on a horseback ride. We got up to the ADK right after labor day, so…More »
16. Moose River House
Well - it's been a while but I'm finally getting around to it - we spent a few days here back in September for our honeymoon before heading to Toronto. Initially, we had a little trouble getting a hold of them to make the reservation, but once we…More »
17. Robert H. Treman State Park
This is a great park outside of Ithaca that you must visit if you're into hiking, nature, gorges, waterfalls, seeing trout swimming from 50 feet up, and fresh air that smells faintly of pine and awesome.
Tony is right when he says there are some steep…More »
18. McLallen House Bed and Breakfast
Yet another B&B from our honeymoon - this was the last stop of our week. We spent the last two days of our honeymoon in the Finger Lakes (this is about 15-20 minutes outside of Ithaca, and totally worth staying here instead of in town), and really…More »
