For five years now, Tara, Gary, Marshall and Taylar, have created “that little place” where local folks and visitors alike enjoy breakfast, lunch, pies, and so much more. When you walk in the door, you’re welcomed into the heart of their family-run diner where they provide the best food, made from the best ingredients in the area. You’ll hear the sizzling on the grill, smell the coffee brewing, and while you listen to the old time music, you’ll be in the middle of an experience they’ve created to make you feel right at home. You know that when you walk in the door, you’re in the right place at the right time.

This year marks their fifth anniversary at That Little Place on Main and they have so much to celebrate.

With Marshall at his side, Gary has perfected the process of letting the flavor of the food he prepares really come through. He wants the locally sourced ingredients he uses to speak for themselves. From the moment produce and ingredients are sourced, special attention is given to freshness for optimum flavor.

Not only are the meals delicious, the service is friendly and warm.

Notes on tables in the booths left by customers share the many thanks and and great times had by all. After five years, Gary’s favorite thing about the diner is “the community that is created here, the stories told over the counter, and the people…the people.”

Five years is a milestone of success for any business, and That Little Place on Main has achieved this with plenty of momentum. Their focus on home-cooked meals, served in a friendly atmosphere, has proved to be a winning formula for Tara, Gary, Marshall and Talyar, as well as anyone who walks in the door. 

Be sure to stop by That Little Place on Main and congratulate Gary and Tara, and Taylar and Marshall, too, on their fifth year of serving Little Falls.

Always ask about the day’s specials as you are sure to be in for a treat. Check out the pies on the counter and grab the carrot cake when you can. Their cinnamon swirl pancakes are always a hit.

Out and about in the Mohawk Valley: A visit to West Main Street in Little Falls, NY

With the holidays fast approaching we had several errands to run and gifts to get for friends and family. Like most busy folks, we wanted to consolidate and try to accomplish several things in one stop. A visit to West Main Street in Little Falls, NY was just what we needed.

Our first stop was to Fall Hill Bead and Gem.

This truly is a special gem here in the Mohawk Valley. Fall Hill Bead and Gem is packed with specially crafted jewelry along with many gems and stones for your own creations. With that, wander in and explore all the wonders they have inside. Kim and Adam not only helped us re-size a ring, they also showed us some of their newest items.

Next, we visited with Terry and Andy at Paca Gardens.

Our goal was to take some photos to list Paca Gardens in Mohawk Valley Today. Terry showed us some of the lovely Alpaca Sweaters, jackets, scarfs and more – inviting us to “touch everything.”  New to knowing anything about Alpaca, Terry showed us some pictures her Alpacas, and taught us about the unique qualities and benefits and Alpaca products. With all of the beautiful Alpaca items they carry, we found some great gifts for family members. Their stock of products are just beautiful, soft and oh so tempting! 

An introduction to Tang Soo Do of Central New York.

While at Paca Gardens, Andy introduced us to his friend,Mike Molinaro, of Tang Soo Do of Central New York. Master Michael A. Molinaro is founder, owner, and chief instructor of Tang Soo Do of Central New York. Mike invited us to his training studio to learn more about the classes offered and take some pics to add to Mohawk Valley Today!

Time for Lunch – That Little Place On Main

After all this activity, we needed to refuel. We already love going to That Little Place On Main. As always, Tara and Gary provided the perfect meal along with some great conversation. We wish we could have stayed longer! If you stop by That Little Place on Main, be sure to ask about their delicious pies.
