I think that children of about six or seven would appreciate this book. It has large print that is spaced out with detailed illustrations that not only break up the text, but fit in well around the story. I think this type of layout would be appealing for young readers as they would not be intimidated by large amounts of text.

Syracuse: You’ll be hard-pressed to find a finer example of the classic American tavern than Riley’s, a legendary Syracuse pub with a great tap list, juicy sirloin burgers, and nightly selection of massive blue plate specials. Red Chili nails both the sheer spiciness and depth of flavor of Sichuan cuisine. Steadfast local fans often go for the hot pots, which can be customized with meat, vegetarian, and seafood options. Ignore the whimsical name of Pastabilities; the trattoria inspires reverence among Syracuse residents with homemade pastas and a cult-favorite spicy tomato oil. Riesling, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc: You’ll find a lot of different grapes as you drink your way through the Finger Lakes vineyards, but you’ll run into riesling, chardonnay, and cabernet franc over and over. All three grow easily in the region’s cool climate, which has growing conditions similar to the Mosel region of Germany.Hector: Fine dining techniques meet local ingredients and beverages at Stonecat Cafe. The tavern pays homage to New York’s European influences with dishes like gravlax and risotto, but also leans into American classics like cornmeal catfish and smoked pulled pork. Locals love a classic American tavern, and you’ll find plenty of the restaurants sporting wood-paneled walls, big beer lists, and burgers. But many FLX towns and cities also provide options for international and fine dining. The through line is a tireless commitment to “living off the land” by using local produce and products. urn:lcp:fingereater0000king_j6i5:epub:910ea605-1f1c-473f-8f2e-b030bd5e5b50 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier fingereater0000king_j6i5 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t0203ws51 Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781406341867

A young girl called Gudrun encounters Ulf one day. Her parents had warned her against shaking hands with the troll for fear that she too would lose a finger. Gudrun is a clever little girl and doesn’t think it’s fair that Ulf should eat people’s fingers so she hatches a plan to stop him. North. Ulf offers to shake the hands of anybody who passes by his house in the hills but in reality all he wants to do is eat the fingers of these unsuspecting people. He especially prefers to eat the fingers of small children. So extreme is his habit that all the people of the surrounding areas are all missing at least one finger. Breweries: Located just outside of downtown Syracuse, Heritage Hill regularly tops lists of the best local breweries for their American lagers, New England IPAs and poutine, among other seasonal beers and bar food. Ithaca Beer (in guess where) has made a name for itself outside of the Finger Lakes, but even though fans can get the beer elsewhere, visitors to the Ithaca headquarters will find an impressive taproom and beer garden. Alongside evergreen options like Flower Power IPA and Lakeside Lager, the taproom serves seasonal releases, like their famous pumpkin ale, along with appetizers, pizzas, and burgers.Naples Grape Festival: The Finger Lakes host no shortage of festivals, but Naples lays claim to the quirkiest event each fall. The celebration honors locally grown grapes with wine tasting tents, food vendors slinging grape-based treats, and the highly competitive Grape Pie Contest.

If you want to get the most out of FLX (that’s short for Finger Lakes), commit these regional essentials to memory, from signature dishes to events not to miss.There’s no shortage of proud independent farmers in the Finger Lakes. You can find them staking out space at farmers markets, sharing their haul with their neighbors and any fortunate vacationers passing through.
