take one of the architectural walking tours. There are self-guided brochures/maps available at the Visitor Center (unfortunately I don't think it's open from Dec-Mar) which is located downtown across Broadway from Congress Park. feeding the ducks at the ponds in Congress Park. There's quite a flock of them there -- and they'll follow you around forever -- quacking quite nicely amongst themselves -- if you continue to feed them. Surprisingly, they like lots of different kinds of food -- including fruits and cooked vegetables. (I know, I know -- but I wanted to feed them, not kill them.)
Saratoga Springs

"Saratoga Springs: Not Just for Horses Anymore!"
Saratoga Springs in upstate NY has been known for it's history (Battle of Saratoga, natch!), its renowned mineral waters that have a reputation for healthful and healing benefits, and HORSES, of course! Saratoga Springs is a lovely small city, offering arts and entertainment, culture and sports just outside the Adirondacks. Summer is a magical time, with a huge number of restaurants, lovely bed and breakfast inns, and all kinds of shopping from upscale trendy clothing stores to one-of-a kind boutiques and galleries. If you're anywhere near here, it';s definitely worth the detour!

I'll be adding individual tips shortly!
