Fine Dining, But S’mores, Hot Dogs, Too MINGO/From Pg. 5 “The question for that is, ‘Have you seen Carol?’”

– Carol Leeds, the general manager – “And the answer is always no – nein – because we can never find her!”

Another popular question is where they got the name.

“A ‘Mingo’ is an Indian who was banished from his tribe for bad behavior,” said Michael. “One man insisted it was a bird, even though his

wife said it was an Indian, so he spray-painted a bunch of plastic flamingos blue, put them on the coast and pointed them out to her!”

In keeping with the openair, Adirondack-camp feel of the restaurant, for the first few years all the dishes were made in an outdoor kitchen.

“We called it ‘Creative Grill Cuisine,’” said Cory. “I would even grill the desserts, like pineapple on pound cake.”

It’s a tradition they keep up, although modified. Their most popular dessert is S’mores. The wait staff brings the ingredients – marshmallows, Hershey’s chocolate and graham crackers – and diners roast them to perfection over a small hibachi.

“The kids love it,” said Michael. “And, of course, you can smell it across the porch, so then everyone else orders it! It’s very nostalgic.”

They’re well-known for their seafood – including shrimp and grits, lobster and salmon – but if you miss the old days of Dot’s, don’t worry – they still have two hot dogs on the menu: The Boatyard Dog, a ¼ pound kosher hot dog just like the old days, or, for the truly daring, Larry’s Death Dog, stuffed with cheddar, wrapped in bacon and deep fried.

They also offer entrees with lamb, beef and chicken, for the more land-minded diner.

“95 percent of our cuisine

is local,” he said. “We own a farm, so when you get a salad here, the lettuce was picked the same day.”

In addition to the restaurant, they still operate the boat yard as well, and the Lake Classic Outfitters, which sells gifts and lake-inspired fashion.

They’re open seven days a week through Labor Day, and in the fall, they’ll add a Sunday Brunch, which will continue through Columbus Day. “Sometimes we’ll get lucky with the weather!”

Oneonta’s, Cooperstown’s Mayors Both Savor Glimmerglass Charms

By JENNIFER HILL COOPERSTOWN

N

ot one, but two Otsego County mayors highly recommend boating on Glimmerglass this – or any – fall.

Cooperstown Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh and Oneonta Mayor Gary Herzig on Otsego Lake have long loved boating on the lake – motor, sail, kayak, paddleboard – you name it. And while summer is peak boating time, both go out on Otsego Lake through autumn – Herzig and his wife Connie until mid-October, and Tillapaugh and her husband, Gary Kuch, until mid-November.

“The fall colors are glorious when you’re on Otsego Lake,” Tillapaugh said.

“You’re surrounded by them.”

With her family’s house only 1½ blocks from the water’s edge, Tillapaugh grew up boating on Otsego Lake.

“I had my own little wooden boat at age 12,” she said, “which I bought with money I earned scooping up the golf balls people at the Country Club hit into the water.”

cabin cruiser.

“We’d pack a picnic and water-ski all day, then spend the night in the boat,” Tillapaugh recalled. “It had a blue vinyl couch that turned into a bunk bed.”

For 21 years, Tillapaugh and Kuch have been cruising in their 1995 motorboat, which seats four comfortably and is aptly named “Boat” – by their two daughters when they were 7 and 10 years old.

“We usually go in the evenings, to unwind at the end of the day, or for a few hours on the weekends,” said Tillapaugh. “We both enjoy bird-watching and have seen kingfishers, blue heron, and our best one, a bald eagle!”

“You don’t have to own a boat,” she added. “There are good places to rent boats from – Sam Smith’s Shipyard, Time Out Rentals, and Canoe Please See MAYORS, Pg. 8

On Lake In Fall, Both Mayors, Spouses Favor Fall Foliage MAYORS/From Pg. 7 & Kayak Rentals and Sales in Portlandville works with Otsego Land Trust and has rentals at Brookwood Point.”

For Mayor Herzig, his passion for sailing began 12 years ago when he joined the

Otsego Sailing Club, next to Brookwood Point on West Lake Road.

“The Sailing Club is a wonderful group of people who love to sail and make sailing affordable and accessible to all age groups,” he said.

“We have sailing classes in the summer, with up to 200 people taking them, ages 6 to 70. And there are scholarships for families who can’t afford the lessons.”

Connie is one of the instructors, teaching kids

ages 6 to 10, a class she began four years ago.

“Our membership is also affordable,” said Herzig.

“We’re a no-frills operation.

We’re all expected to chip in, help build docks and take care of the boats, which keep the fees low.”

The club doesn’t offer sailboats to rent, but Herzig said “you can drop by the club and people are always willing to take you out on their boats, no charge, so you can experience sailing.”

Herzig also recommended watching the upcoming Glimmerglass Regatta races, which the Otsego Sailing Club will host Sept. 14 to 15.

“It’s a sight to see, with

as many as 30 boats from all over,” he said. “And you can watch from Brookwood Point, which is open to the public.”

Better yet, Herzig said to volunteer to crew a boat during the race.

“The most important thing to bring is your enthusiasm and desire to learn,” said Herzig.

And as with Mayor Tillapaugh, sailing gives Mayor Herzig a chance to relax and recharge.

“When you’re sailing, you’re focused on two things, the wind and the water,” he said. “Everything else is on hold.”
