OT-Things to do or interesting places to eat

[Eric15]

Highly self serving post but I'd like to recommend "the tailor and the cook" in Utica, NY. Top 100 restaurant in the US by opentable. Plus it's owned by a huge cuse fan and LOOONNGGG time lurker.

Just checked out the menu and it looks great. Two telltale signs of a high quality restaurant are (1) a small menu - be great at a few things instead of being average/good at many, and (b) and a menu that changes regularly based on availability from what's fresh and in-season.
