"Great place to find inexpensive (used) stuff for home improvement projects. Also: donate old furniture, housewares, and electronics and get a form you can use to justify a deduction on income taxes."

"I shop Wegmans and P&C. For small amounts of meat, P&C prices kill. Also: there's almost always a deal on one or another brand of Ice Cream. Best feature: no membership card needed to get discounts."

"A little-known course so good that the 1st round of US Open qualifying happens here once every 4 years. Greens are usually very fast; course is usually in excellent shape. Looks easier than it plays."

"A small hardware store where employees tend to know tools and techniques for do-it-yourselfers. Ask questions and get useful answers!"

"Wednesday evenings all summer long you can attend free concerts in Hufnagle. Performers are usually very good. Take a folding chair and sit close."

"If you wear a heavy winter coat inside the market on a cold winter day, the coat may smell like cooked sausage for a week or longer afterward!"
