Main Street Ice Cream Parlor

The Main Street Ice Cream Parlor used to be located down the street. But as their popularity (for their food, ice cream and gift shop) grew, so did their need for more space. And then the landlord wanted more money. So they picked up and moved on down the block.

They haven't lost any of their charm by moving, however. This is a true old-fashioned ice cream soda shoppe. You can order anything your little ice cream heart could desire. But don't just come here for dessert. They serve a wonderful lunch and have an extensive gift shop upstairs.

Terrific spot!  Great atmosphere and Great food.  Always good to find places that are superior for chow in the ADKs.  Added bonus is the gift shop upstairs.  All quality.

We were driving to Canada and thought about stopping for lunch after we passed the Saratoga Springs/Lake George region. We decided to take a chance and exited in Chestertown with the hopes that Main Street would have something yummy to offer.

We were tempted to stop for pizza but wanted something more substantial, so we kept driving and ended up stopping at this homey yellow building. The staff was friendly and service was very prompt.

We ordered the the pumpkin lobster bisque soup, the turkey special with grilled local vegetables, and a corned beef sandwich. It was all very tasty and well priced.  I think this will be our new pit stop.
