Market Street Coffee and Tea has extended summer hours.

Market Street Coffee and Tea is now open from 7:30 am to 8:00 pm Monday through Saturday and on Sunday from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. You have even more time to stop for a delicious cup of freshly roasted, freshly brewed coffee or a soft-serve ice cream cone. Rick usually roasts in the evenings so wander down, inhale the indescribable aroma of roasting coffee and stop in for a chat.

Corning’s Gaffer District’s a festival of art
Call for Volunteers
CORNING, NY -- Corning’s Gaffer District Festivals and Promotions will host a two day celebration of fine arts and crafts on Saturday & Sunday, July 26th & 27th from 10am-5pm on Corning’s Historic Market Street. A festival of art is a wonderful event for our area and we simply couldn’t hold the festival each year without the support of dozens of volunteers. The volunteers are truly the success of our local event. If you are interested in volunteering for this year’s event, please contact Cheri Crozier at 607-974-7818 or croziercl@corning.com.

Virgil Cain, Rockwell and Margaritas

Virgil Cain, Rockwell and Margaritas 4, originally uploaded by pawtrait04.

Just off Market Street (barely) is the Rockwell Museum of Western Art. Three times a year in the summer they hold Music, Margaritas and Sunsets on the Terrace events.

Seen here playing at the June event was local musician Virgil Cain. The weather was warm and hazy, the music was vibrant and eclectic, and those Margaritas - well they were perfect.

So come and join us on July 16th as the Tumbleweeds perform on the terrace, 3 floors above the street. Look ouit out at the beautful hills that surround Corning, while chilling out to cool music and sipping some of the best Margaritas for miles around,

Goddess Athena at Aniellos Pizzaria

A "Great" day in the life of a dog... lunch at Aniello's !

I remember when Aniello's was across the street (where my favorite coffee shop Market Street Coffee & Tea is now). Even today when I stand in this pizzeria my nose brings me back to good memories of football games and young friends.

Trivia Question: What is it that makes this pizza soooo addicting? Send me your answers!

Another nice feature of our Market Street... Outdoor Tables. They're wonderful on a warm & breezy Finger Lakes day and provide a family friendly environment for ALL your members... just ask Athena. Her enjoyment of that cheesy pie was quite apparent!

Athena and her parents were visiting Corning's Market Street from West Chester, PA. Athena is 165pds. and 33 inches high at the withers! Whoa!!! I think I saw this trio order 2 Pizzas!

Come visit and have your morning coffee, lunch or dinner outdoors! Great way to make new friends and enjoy fun conversations with passerbys!

The Tea Chest - Market Street, Corning, NY

Sonya, tea connoisseur & owner of The Tea Chest with two of her very helpful daughters, Franny and Zoe, have displayed in their shop more than 60 of the finest teas from around the world. This bastion of tea is comfortable and family friendly, lots of room to spread out with your laptop, play checkers, have a tea party or just sit and regroup from a hurried day.

We’ve all heard of the healing properties of herbs and teas enjoyed for centuries around the world. I happened to be nursing a minor but irritating back strain at the time of my visit, so Sonya suggested one of her delicate Red Teas from South Africa, a wonderful anti-oxidant whose properties might help increase blood flow to my inflamed backside. Ouch!

Sonya is a wealth of knowledge about each and every one of her teas and the benefits they can bring to what ails you or simply to comfort you. Be sure to stop by and enjoy a consult and a cup of steaming, or chilled, tea. The smells alone make you feel so gooood!

Not only was my tea experience delicious and aromatic but I was charmed by Sonya’s expertise and this NEW Old World experience right here in our town.

Once you visit the Tea Chest no ordinary tea bag will ever do!

*The Girls enjoying a stop at the fine and friendly Tea Chest on Market Street, where they also picked up more “Build a Bracelet” beads along the Finger Lakes trail. What fun!!!
