In case you have not noticed in the last few months at the Golden Arrow; our exciting new restaurant has officially opened at the spot where Goldberries used to be. This exciting new restaurant is called

CHARLIE’S

It officially opened in late December to rave reviews and has been serving up customers of all ages for the past few months. The interior has an exciting and refreshing new contemporary look that I am sure you will enjoy. As well, as the cuisine has a delectable taste for all ages.

They have great Duck Quesidillas and their Hungarian Mushroom soup is superb. As, well as their many entrees that will sure to make your mouth water with excitement.

We must not forget the new and exciting T-BAR which is located right inside Charlie’s restaurant. It has an exciting new look that has a lighted up bar that will impress anyone. From time to time you might also catch a jazz ensemble playing some great music for everyone to listen to while at the bar or enjoying dinner.

Of course, all of the cuisine is great in the restaurant but Madame Cuisine’s absolute FAV! is the desserts. You must try the ever so scrumptious Blackberry Fried Pie which will titalate your taste buds. You will definetly enjoy!

Hey everyone what is up! This is RICH your SPORTSCASTER for the GOLDEN ARROW!!!!

Well it is that time of the year again and I have slipped on my hockey skates and headed over to the Olympic Center for some exciting weekend hockey action. Of course, I seem to spend more time on the ice than on my skates putting the puck into the goal!!!

Every weekend from now until the end of April, Lake Placid hosts the Canadian Hockey Enterprise and CAN-AM Hockey Tourneys. These tourneys involve not only children of all ages but also a few weekends of adult action.

I personally love all the exciting games that take place over the weekends as well as enjoying sitting in the stands as a fan. Of course, sitting in the stands I dont get sore feet either. People from all over the Northeast and over the Canadian border come down to Lake Placid to take place in these exciting tournaments.

For more information on these tourneys please visit http://chehockey.com/lakeplacid.php or http://www.canamhockey.com and get all the schedules and exciting action taking place.

Until next time this sportscaster is headed to the rink for some much needed practice and hopefully not too many hits in the head by the puck.

See ya

The Golden Arrow recently donated 10 percent of the revenues generated from its pet fees to the Tri-Lakes Humane Society. This year the donation was $1,700, up about 10 percent from last year. “The money will be used primarily for the spay and neuter program,” said Humane Society Board Member Haley Morrelli, “We are also hoping to upgrade the cat room.” The annual donation has great support among the guests of the hotel.
