Cooperstown Diner
The first thing I do when I get there is eat breakfast at the Cooperstown Diner. I highly recommend it.

Agreed. It is a tiny place and fills up quickly but worth the wait. Mels Restaurant (at the light) is also great for lunch or dinner.

If you have the time, it is worth a 30 minute drive south to Colliersville Antiques. Don Flewelling runs it with his wife. Don organizes the card show across from the HOF on induction weekend. He has a few cards in the showcase but start talking cards with him and he will show you some great stuff. I have upgraded a lot of T206s with Don over the years,

Fond memories of Cooperstown...my dad & I used to go almost every year from the early 90's to the mid-00's. Walking around the Hall/Museum is magical. Time stands still...you don't know if you spent 2 hours in there, or 5 hours. Just poke around and soak it all in.
We always loved Doubleday Cafe (on Main St) for lunch, then we would just wander around the town, and peruse the memorabilia shops. Also...long story, short- my dad (who passed away in 2015) has a beautiful pen & ink sketch (of the facade of the Hall) as part of the permanent art collection at the Hall. He was an amazing artist, and I donated it after he passed away. The acquisitions committee voted unanimously to accept the donation (yes, they vote on whether or not to accept a donation). Not sure if it's on display or not, but is part of their rotating art collection. Image below...LMK if you see it! Regards, Michael PS- Hi David! Your pics of the BB Card display at the Hall, brings back some great memories. Last edited by MVSNYC; 04-16-2017 at 08:54 PM. |
