Yesterday we had lunch at the Craftsman Inn which is located in Fayetteville, NY, on Route 5, just across from the Town Center shopping area. It is currently painted green on the outside and furnished primarily with Stickley furniture on the inside. All the decorations are of the craftsman period or arts and crafts period of the late 1800's or early 1900's. The food was superb and not too pricey. We had hamburger, tuna melt, and ruben type sandwiches, and it was so much food that we have enough left over for lunch today.
Fayetteville is a suburb of Syracuse on the east edge of the city. My dad always said you should live on the east side of the place where you work so that you could drive to work or go home and not have the sun in your eyes either way. Stickley makes wonderful arts and crafts furniture and has been in business since the late 1800's and is located in Manlius which is another suburb on the east side of Syracuse and just south of Fayetteville. We have toured their factory and are awed by the quality of the workmanship. If you ever get a chance to buy quality furniture, I encourage you to look at Stickley, as well as others such as Bernhardt or Thomasville.

Why haven't I ever eaten at the Craftsman Inn?? Sounds great. Nana has been inviting us to come up some Sunday in the winter. I think she'll insist on making dinner for us when we do, but nice to know of a fallback plan (we would be happy to treat her, of course!). Are they open on Sundays? Love, Joan
