Beauregard's Bakery |
|
(Restaurants - American) |
|
23 W Market St, Corning 14830 607-962-2001 |
 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. With more than a decade of experience behind this cafe, you can be sure that it's doing something right. Ample indication comes from Beauregard's warm bread pudding, a signature dish that local folks can't seem to get enough of. A strong contender, it does get some competition from gourmet cookies, hefty brownies, and other sinful entries. Served along with them are fruit smoothies and coffee drinks. As if it's not implied, everything is made fresh daily. |

111 Cedar St Rockwell Museum, Corning 14830 607-974-8226 |
 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. While you're exploring the treasures of the Rockwell Museum, keep up the Western theme with a stop at this on-site restaurant. Although not operated by the museum, Cantina promises a variety of Southwestern dishes that perfectly maintain the feel of the art institution. Sandwiches and salads are great for warding off the lunchtime munchies (along with a yummy corn chowder!), and beef-and-bean burritos, chili, and other standards make ideal dinner entrees. You'll also want to sample their cactus fries as an intriguing, slightly exotic snack! |

Cap'n Morgan's Sports & Seafood |

|
36 Bridge St, Corning 14830 607-962-1616 |
 |
| |
Description:
CORNING. Casual dining sets the pace at this family-friendly restaurant, which owes its strong reputation to well-prepared seafood. Start off with bacon-wrapped scallops, parmesan-fried calamari, or even a dozen steamed littlenecks. Then, opt for fresh fish prepared in a number of different ways (grilled, fried, blackened), or consider grilled mako shark, crab-stuffed shrimp, or a crabcake dinner. Steaks, sandwiches, burgers, and pastas also satisfy hungry appetites. TVs are set around for entertainment, and folks find much to appreciate in live music, trivia competitions, and euchre events. |

Crystal City Bakers |
|
(Restaurants - American) |
|
25 Riverside Dr, Corning 14830 607-937-5331 |
 |
| |
Description:
CORNING. Set in a simple, rectilinear, white-brick building, this awesome bakery doesn't readily give away its appeal from the outside. Once inside, though, you'll be struck by the range of goodies available. Large trays of pastries, doughnuts, and cookies sit alongside pies, cakes, and breads of all varieties, and the aroma of just-baked temptations is enough to make your mouth water. If you can withstand their allure in favor of lunchtime fare, opt for a sub sandwich or pizza, which are made fresh on the premises and taste just as good in-house as for take-out. |
