Steps from the Hall, but miles from stress.
The Inn at Cooperstown’s porch is where MVPs rest between innings (and coffee runs).

Bigger than Babe’s appetite, cozier than the dugout. If diners were baseball cards, this one’s mint condition. We ❤ Cooperstown Diner .

🚨 Foodie Alert!

The secret’s out that was *never* a secret to us. We’ve known for a long time that Oneonta’s got some of the best spots in the world to eat, drink, and be merry.

Now Secret NYC is in on it too, sharing that Cooperstown neighbor and upstate gem is quickly becoming one of the top foodie destinations in the world. (Told ya.)

They highlighted three standouts:
🍻 Muddy River Farm Brewery — farm-to-glass and full of vibes.
🔥 Sloan's New York Grill — where comfort food smokes in all the right ways.
🌿 The Autumn Cafe — our personal fave. We raise a Manhattan, a pint of Ommegang Rare Vos, and a smoked chicken wing in your honor.

This isn’t just small-town charm — it’s big flavor energy.

Let’s eat. Let’s drink. Let’s Oneonta.


City of Oneonta - Government Mayor Mark Drnek

Oneonta, New York was just named as one of the best foodie towns for summer 2025 by Airbnb. Here's how to visit this summer.
