Fiddlestix Cafe, Cornwall

Mingle with the West Point crowd — Cadets and tourists alike — that frequents this charming cafeÌ. Open since 2004, Fiddlestix delights patrons with scrumptious creations like the Tangled Up in Blue (left). This deep-fried Texas toast comes slathered in warm blueberry sauce and topped with whipped cream and fresh blueberries, all for $9.75.

Another standout dish is Strawberry Fields Forever — strawberry-stuffed cheesecake accompanied by French toast, which really pleases those who live by an “eat dessert first” mantra. 845-534-3866; www.fiddlestixcafe.com
