Dan De Fredirics writes a fun blog.  That may be why the address is http://www.funsaratoga.com/.  He keeps us up to date on the local dining establishments but also historical landmarks and recommendations to out of towners on the best value in Saratoga Springs hotels, at least outside of track season.  His favorite is  Carriage House Inn.  You can read Dan's blog at the web address above,  have fun and get some information at the same time.
