We are a bunch of uni guys wondering if there is a fun night life in lake placid

I have a group of 10-12 ladies going for a long weekend Bachelorette trip mid June this year and was hoping to get some recommendations on fun things to do, shopping/flea markets, places to get good food and drinks and Uber/taxi services. Is there DoorDash or Uber eats? We are planning on doing some hikes and visiting Olympic park already so I’m looking for things to do in town. Thank you in advance.

Looking for advice on where to stay in Lake Placid in December. I will only be there for one night. I would like to be able to walk to restaurants, shops, etc., and it would also be nice to be on the lake..I’ve never been to Lake Placid, so I don’t have any knowledge about where things are located. Also, how late do restaurants stay open in December? Will I be able to get dinner after 8pm, or does everything close down early in winter?

Hey everyone! My boyfriend and I are going to Lake Placid from Buffalo, NY next weekend. Has anyone ever been to the Flaming Leaves festival? Is it worth it to go? We’ve never been to Lake Placid so we are also looking for any restaurant suggestions too! The only thing we have booked is the zip line. Thank you! 😊

Hi all, forgive me I'm not sure what my goal is here.

I was in Lake Placid this weekend for a wedding and crossed paths with a homeless gentleman by the name of Chris.

Chris was living in a cave a mile out from town. He was bused to the area by a priest from Georgia for work but was unable to secure employment due to his potential employer having a complication of sorts.

Chris was clearly homeless but a very nice gentlemen, well spoke, looking to work and contribute but he couldn't get a license or ID because he didn't have a technical address.

Is there someone in the area who would be able to help him? I don't have a way of contacting him but I'm sure he's easy to find since I ran into him several times on the street. Alternatively if you've had a run in with him and know something I don't, I'd be interested. He seemed like a really nice guy with an unfortunate circumstance.

Hello! My boyfriend and I are starting the 46 peaks! The first hike we're doing is pretty short. Seems like it'll only be about 5 hours. So we were going to just camp in town with our vehicle the night that we got out of the hike, since it's about a 4 hour drive. Please share your recommendations on a romantic camping spot (hopefully somewhat private/secluded) where we could camp with our car and maybe start a campfire. Also, a side note, what temperatures should we expect at the top? Going tomorrow. Thanks!

Where would be the best venue/restaurant to have a rehearsal dinner and welcome party afterwards.

Hi everyone, my fiance and I were planning to do our tiny elopement ceremony on Whiteface Mountain that will literally be less than 2 minutes with just our parents there this upcoming Saturday. It has to be Saturday but unfortunately it’s going to rain. Does anyone have any recommendations for a covered or indoor pretty area in either Lake Placid or Whiteface mountain where we could do this very very quick ceremony?

We have a wedding coming up in October. We have a welcome drinks event planned for the night before the wedding but way too many people have RSVP’ed for the space we originally planned. Looking to host about 120 people for a casual gathering (drinks and hors d'oeuvres). Something nice enough and captures the essence of Lake Placid without breaking the bank. Any help would be truly appreciated!!

Will be there in mid October and staying near the Brooks Arena. Planned an extra day to enjoy some outdoor fun. Thinking a hike is the best way to do that.

Ideally...under 5 miles, can get done in under 4ish hours, good scenic walk, nice views, elevation is fine but I'm not looking to climb a mountain.

Any good recommendations? I've been looking on alltrails and have a couple marked but the locals always know best.

Hi all. I was visiting Lake Placid today on my way further up North and was alerted that an AirTag was following me. I looked on my phone and it seems to have fallen off my car halfway through my trip. Still very freaky. Be on the lookout for this happening if you’re in Lake Placid today 8/2/24.

Not looking for a TGI Fridays or anything but something local that would put a smile on a kids face? Thanks.

How easy and fast is it to get uber/lyft in lake placid area on a night out? Or is using the local taxi better thanks!

In theory could a snake that size possibly crush a car like it does?

Looking for recs on the best luxury lodges in Lake Placid during christmas time for kids (1 and 3 years old). I really want that lodge feel decked out in holiday decor! All lake placid tips welcomed.

Hey Everyone! I was wondering if anyone had any images or leads to images from this shoot? My brother and myself were part of it in 1999 out in Lake Placid and I would love to get ahold of the images or a catalog. If anyone has any information, I’d love to hear from you! Thanks!

Some friends and I are coming to view the eclipse April 8. Any locals have an idea of how crazy packed the hiking trails will be? Do you need to reserve parking or something?

Hi locals, I’ll be in town for 1 night and was looking for an opinion on which brewery I should go to. I’m a seasoned pint quaffer with eclectic tastes. TIA.

Seeing some hotels are closed April May around Easter.
Do many businesses close those months? Are plenty of places open?

Some friends and I are making the trip from NEPA to ski Whiteface next weekend. How are the current skiing conditions on the mountain?

We're looking for a place to stay, preferably walking distance to main Street and the skating rink. We have 3 retired racing greyhounds, but haven't seen any place that accepts more than 2 dogs. And ideas? Thanks!!

The real disaster is that they don't do housekeeping. I've been all over the world since the pandemic but Lake Placid is the only place that won't clean your room, make the beds, empty the garbage or restock the bathroom. None of the hotels here here. This is crazy.
