Things To Do
Saratoga Water Fountains
Outside of the racetrack, Saratoga is famed for its natural springs. You can find them all over downtown and throughout the city - ranging from incredibly sulfuric to tap water (literally drawn from our water source Loughberry Lake). But like a true Saratoga native, we won't tell you which is which; you'll just have to find out. Check the link included to learn more about this history of Saratoga Springs water.
Roosevelt Baths & Spa
Roosevelt Baths and Spa offers a number of traditional spa services - massage, facials, etc, but if we can recommend one special thing, it's the mineral baths.
Caroline Street
There is some lore that Caroline Street holds a record for the most bars per square foot in the United States. While we cannot prove this is true - and the internet suggests otherwise (don't kill the hometown pride!) - it really is surprising how much activity you'll find in such a small city. The night is long, and you can stay late. You'll find what you like but some classics include: Hamlet & Ghost for good cocktails Desperate Annie's or Tin 'n' Lint for a dive 9 Maple for jazz and martinis Henry Street Taproom - (off Caroline Street but walking distance) for beer and conversation Gaffneys for live music
Yaddo Gardens
An artist's community and writers' retreat created by Katrina and Spencer Trask. Crysty volunteered in the gardens as a high school student. Previous residents include everyone from Truman Capote and Hannah Arendt to James Baldwin, Flannery O'Connor, Chloe Zhao, Langston Hughes, and Sylvia Plath.
Saratoga National Historical Park
Considered the turning point of the Revolutionary War, the "Battle of Saratoga" was fought in these fields. A nice place for history, and a beautiful place for a fall morning or afternoon stroll.
