halfmoons

We hear it all the time. Stupid questions or phrases people say that really get on our nerve. Here's 15 things you should NEVER say to a Central New Yorker.

Before you throw up your arms in disgust, hear me out. There are several things that are staples in Central and Upstate New York - halfmoons, greens and tomato pie, hiking and camping the Adirondacks, cheering on the Orangemen, running the Boilermaker. Everyone rants and raves about it all; how great the food tastes or how fun the great outdoors is.

Every Central New Yorker loves halfmoons. They are not just a cookie, they are a way of life. We decided to come up with the 10 Commandments, and golden rules, for halfmoons.

Chris Clemens is the guy behind the popular blog "Exploring Upstate." Recently he and his friend, Chris Lindstrom, took a trip to Utica. It has been their desire for a long time to drive to the area and sample some of the most iconic dishes created and only served in Utica. Well, they finally did it and they were NOT disappointed.

One of the biggest debates in Central New York is who has the best halfmoons? Well, I have my own opinion, but I have to be impartial. So I took to Facebook seeking the most popular halfmoons around town and here is what the people said! After all with families coming together this holiday season, you want to make sure you have the best!
