  • Order the Deli Rose from the Yellow Deli
    No matter what you order from the Yellow Deli, you are almost guaranteed to be satisfied. But one of the all time favorites is a sandwich called the Deli Rose.

This is definitely a must try sandwich that you will leave satisfied with.
  • T-shirt Challenge at the Red Jug Pub
    One of the many local bars in Oneonta, The Red Jug Pub located on Main Street, is infamous for their T-shirt Challenge. How it works, is each person interested in doing the challenge must pay $25-$30 upfront. After paying, you receive a mini form that you must fill in with your full name, the T-shirt you want (there is a selection of about 4-5 different kinds) and size, and a list of ten different beers on tap you want to drink. After handing the bartender back your form, you begin to drink the beers you chose. After the completion of drinking your beers, you receive your Red Jug Pub T-s

The “Gooch” is a must try option from this stand, a hot dog smothered with mac and cheese, crushed Fritos, and pulled pork.
