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.

Mohawk Valley Today Out and About

September has been a busy month at Mohawk Valley Today!

We’ve been out and about every week this past month. We started with Tony Crossfit PSE on Main Street in Little Falls just prior to his Grand Opening. After taking photos, we got to hear what is being offered at Crossfit PSE. With a number of membership options available, there’s sure to be something for everyone, no matter the skill level.

The Pleasant Lake Inn, Stratford, NY

After we met with Tony, we took a bit of a drive to see the folks at the Pleasant Lake Inn. While we were there, we treated ourselves to a great meal as we chatted with the manager, Gail. The Pleasant Lake Inn has a special place in our hearts as Jim’s parents owned it back in the 70s. Whenever we go there, it feels like another home.

So much is going on in Little Falls!

Bonita’s Sandwich Chef came highly recommended and is a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Needless to say, we were very happy to meet Bonita and the team at Sandwich Chef. Take some time to enjoy the comfortable atmosphere and delicious food served with a warm smile.

Brainstorming with the Little Falls Not for Profit Coalition

On Sep 11th, we met with the Little Falls Not For Profit Coalition. We joined their meeting to brainstorm ideas for an online presence for event and volunteer management. Thanks so much to Judy Wolf for inviting us, as well as the folks from Little Falls Rotary, Women Christian Association, Preserve Our Past, and the Little Falls Micro Fund. We really enjoyed getting to know everyone and learning how the coalition serves Little Falls.

Our next culinary stop was the Happy Waffle on Main Street Little Falls. This is such a delightful place with a positive, upbeat vibe – and the food is great! We really enjoyed learning about Happy Waffle, all of their events, and all that they offer the community.

Discover the history of Little Falls

We initially met Pat and Jeff of the Little Falls Historical Society Museum at a Main Street Little Falls meeting. This museum is a true treasure in Little Falls with informative, educational and interactive exhibits about the rich history of Little Falls, it’s residents, and the surrounding area.

Pohlig’s on Main Street has a rich history of its own serving the Little Falls community since 1888. We stopped in and met Bob at Pohlig’s where he shared with us all the home improvement products and services offered. With over 60 years of experience Pohlig’s can help you with whatever your home improvement needs from paint, wallpaper, flooring, vinyl carpeting, and window treatments.

One-stop Wellness Shop

Our most recent addition to Mohawk Valley Today is the Fitness Farmacy located at 441 West Main Street in Little Falls above the Ace Hardware store. Owners Krista and Sean showed us around their beautiful facility with over 8,000 square feet of space for fitness training, classes and events. Fitness Pharmacy offers classes for kids and adults, along with Nutrition and Therapeutic Massage services.

Many thanks to everyone we met with. We appreciate your time and enthusiasm for what we’re doing together!
