As you slide into Saratoga Springs, make your way to the boutique Adelphi Hotel on Broadway, the main drag. With its Victorian facade and towering pillars, it's hard to miss. Take out one of a collection of bicycles the hotel keeps for a quick spin to your lunch spot and then come back to the hotel to pick up the car and go exploring Saratoga Springs.

Enjoy lunch at this low-key farm-to-table restaurant with a menu sourced from local farms and a nice selection of beer and wine.
