Description
The revamped Southern Tier Welcome Center promotes New York's world class food and beverage products at an expanded Taste NY facility.
Travelers can sample locally sourced food and beverage products from the region, such as the Southern Tier's famous Spiedies, paninis, seasonal soups and salads, as well as a variety of snack and grab-and-go options, such as dried fruits, jerky, chips, nuts, gluten-free baked goods, and locally-roasted specialty coffee drinks offered through state-of-the-art micro-vending. The Taste NY area also features scenic views of the Southern Tier.
The Welcome Center is complete with a new seating area for up to 60 people, electric car charging stations, a "canoe regatta"-themed play area for children, a motorcycle shelter, a Southern Tier Walk of Fame, video and selfie walls, a gallery of regional artifacts, a pet comfort area, and a life-sized I LOVE NEW YORK sculpture. The designs and exhibits, ranging from a race car in the entrance, provided by Watkins Glen International, a hanging glass sculpture on loan from the Corning Museum of Glass to the carousel-themed seating area, highlight the beauty and variety of Southern Tier attractions.
The Welcome Center is operated by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Broome County.
