The shops and restaurants along West Park Row (and around the corner on College Street) have lots of fun things -- souvenirs, clothes, coffee!, and more. Snag a Clinton Pottery mug from Tom's Local Foods, then bring it to Utica Coffee around the corner to drink your coffee like a local.

Getting Around

There's a Zipcar lot with 2-3 cars a short walk from our place. If you don't want to walk to the village, a Zipcar is a great option for getting down (and then UP!) the hill.

The town park has a playground, some courts for sports, covered picnicking areas, and a trail down to a creek you can wade in. This is a great place for a family outing, a solo-outing with a good book, or a big party!

Hockey fan? Visit our historic arena -- it just got some major new renovations because Clinton, NY is Hockeyville, USA for the year (thanks to Kraft for the competition and the $$$).
