FOOD FOR CLIMBERS
You can’t really eat the Noon Mark Diner, but the food inside this establishment is a must for any climb- er who finds him or
herself in the Adiron- dacks and looking for some hearty grub. Since 1981, they’ve been churning out homemade bread and pies from their spot on Route 73 in Keene Valley, NY.

O
n a recent trip to the Daks, tired of our diet of roasted squirrel and PBR, we stopped into the Noon Mark Diner. From the outside, it looks like your typi- cal small town diner, the kind you should always stop at. However, we heard rumors about the spot, some climbers even claim it has the best pie you’ll ever eat, so we checked it out.
Open from 6am to 10pm, it’d be hard to find the place closed after or before a day of climbing. Serving a killer breakfast, solid sandwiches and even veggie burgers, this place has it all, whether you’re a carni- vore or a filthy hippie.
Like most things in the Adiron- dakcs, hidden gems exist all over
the place, you just have to dig a little to find them. We were lucky enough to have been recommended to the Noon Mark, which gets its name from the near by Noon Mark Mountain and the old Noonmark Farm. We grabbed a slice of their maple walnut pie and some vanilla ice cream, on our way back home from a weekend in the mountain. I can still taste the deliciousness. We recommend this place to you like our friends did to us and if you aren’t lucky enough to be close to the Daks or Noon Mark Diner, I pity you for you will never be a seri- ous climber. But, you can order a pie and they’ll ship it right to your door! Way better than squirrels!
