Located along the runway of the Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport, the Aviator Restaurant falls within the beautiful town of Queensbury.

If the name of this airport sounds familiar to you at all, it's most likely because it's home to the annual Adirondack Balloon Festival that takes place in September.

Step inside the Aviator and you'll find the charming little restaurant is decorated in photographs from the balloon festival and other flight-related decor that will set the mood.

The Aviator also offers outdoor dining as well, where you can get a spectacular view of planes and helicopters that are taking off and landing at the airport.

All while you're surrounded with a view of the Southern Adirondacks, you'll love dining outside amongst the fresh mountain air.

If you find yourself only craving a front row seat to watching the planes and a delicious drink, you can hang out inside at the bar.

The bar serves guests whimsically named cocktails like the Flying Purple People Eater and their Passion on the Runway drink.

Featuring large picture windows, guests who choose to dine inside will have a view unlike most of the restaurants you're used to dining at.

The Aviator's Lunch and Dinner menus are made up of savory homemade dishes that will leave you feeling impressed and wanting more.

And you won't want to skip out on trying one of their homemade desserts that will be the cherry on top of this incredible dining experience.

So come for the views and stay for the food, because the Aviator Restaurant is one spot in New York you won't want to miss out on trying for yourself.
