Bennington Triumph Bash

I'd like to start a post on PLACES to EAT in the BTB area while you were riding around.

BURGER DEN Restaurant
Route 22
Cambridge, NY
518-677-5781

great big menu and dessert
serving BLD

Good choice. That was Robin's grandfather's favorite restaurant. He lived to be 100 years young. Amazing man. I think the secret was the food at the Den.

that ice cream stand just outside of town....I think Route 7 or 100. Anyway, great food, picnic tables and ICE CREAM!!!!!!

The Blue Benn! What a great breafast we had there! VT is much like the midwest, very friendly folks with GOOD food!

Don't forget Full Bellies Deli right down from The Paradise. Great place for breakfast that you can walk to if you stay in town.

I remember quite a bit of focus on ice cream during last year's Tiger ride. Are you willing to do a 230 mile round trip to get to one of the top 50 ice cream parlors in the US located in Manchester?

mere child's play of a ride! I scream...you scream...we all scream for ICE CREAM!

Ben and Jerrys factory is not in Manchester, but rather in Waterbury. The tour is interesting, and the thimble sized samples at the end tasty. There is a shorter option, and their ice cream is probably the best in the capital district region:

Their food is also good for a lunch stop, as are their homemade pies.

One of my favorites in Manchester is Zoe's. Try the meatloaf sandwich and the homemade potato chips!

Those of you doing an Adirondack ride might like this one if you are near Wadhams:

or this one if you are near Speculator:

Finally, a nice ice cream stand near Ticonderoga:

Safe riding and happy eating!

Ben and Jerry's is one of the top 50 also. The one in Manchester is also in the top 50. I guess they do one for each state.

The one in Manchester is in Manchester, NH, not Manchester, VT.
