When ever I head north of Utica, NY to the Adirondacks, I usually make a pit stop at DeSantis Meat Market. If I’m planning a day trip or a weekend of camping this place is right in the way and offers some of the best stuff. They can make sandwiches to order, or cut you the perfect piece of meat for your grill.

Not only do they have great meats… They have all the stuff you might’ve forgot. Batteries, camping supplies and more. It has become a regular stop for us when heading north.

It’s places like this that focus on the little things that make all the difference. Make sure you stop in on your next trip up route 12. This is one of Central NY’s best kept secrets. Take advantage of it.
