One of the greatest things about being able to call New York home is the fact that with a state this large, we have so many different and unique regions. Those who live here or have explored the area know that the Finger Lakes Region is made up of a beautiful combination of rolling green hills, farmland and vineyards that will leave you speechless. Just one of several amazing food towns that you can find out in this region, check out why you’ll want to arrive to Geneva on an empty stomach.
A small town with so much to offer, hungry travelers can find Geneva at the north end of Seneca Lake.
