If you've found your way to this site, you likely know us pretty well! If you're still reading this, Liz and Mike met in 2015 via an online dating app called Coffee Meets Bagel. Both Liz and Mike saw the app on ABC's Shark Tank™! While the entrepreneurs didn’t get a deal that day, it worked out well for Liz and Mike! Thanks Mr. Wonderful!

Founded in 1919, Munson-Williams has been the destination for countless school field trips! It houses an impressive collection of artwork and the school is associated with the Pratt school of art in N.Y.C. Also be sure to check out Fountain Elms which was the private residence of the founding family and is located on the same property.

Visit the Utica Zoo! It’s family fun for everyone, at the Utica Zoo!
(Also- as a point of interest… the Utica Zoo is home to the World’s Largest Watering Can!! Be sure to check it out and snap a photo before you leave.)
There’s multiple places to visit in the Utica area! Head to Woodland Hop Farm and Fermentation if you want a "from the roots" Micorbrewery/Beer Garden feel. (Its BYOF!)
Woodland Hop Farm and FermentationIf you have time to schedule a tour- Saranac’s your spot. They sport a quality beer list in a historic building in the heart of downtown Utica. They are the second oldest family-owned brewery in the U.S. after Yeungling. So while we can’t best the Philadelphia crowd, we’re a close second!
Pro tip - at the end of the tour, each beer ticket is worth a 12oz beer OR 2 tickets for a flight!
Saranac BreweryWe’ve never actually visited this spot but we've heard great things about Adirondack Distilling! It would be a nice change of pace from beer scene. Be sure to make a reservation if you’d like a tour!
Adirondack DistillingFor the risk inclined, there are a couple of casinos close to the hotel. Let luck be a lady!
