Watkins Glen
This compact village on the southern tip of Seneca Lake in New York's Schuyler County draws visitors for its waterfront setting, scenic surroundings, and the Watkins Glen International race track just southwest of the village — a circuit that hosts NASCAR Cup Series and WeatherTech SportsCar Championship races and formerly held the United States Grand Prix. The village itself has a modest but real café and restaurant scene for its size, along with several historic churches.
