Skaneateles, pronounced "skinny atlas," formerly just another sleepy town in northwestern New York State, plays host to the First Family next week. The Clintons will vacation at the home of real estate developer Thomas McDonald (1), but because they haven't yet officially notified the town of their trip, no activities have been planned. What can the Clintons do? Some suggestions: Krebs' (2) is the best spot to blend in with the locals and quaff a brew. If Hillary is looking for a light bite, Angel's Heavenly Hamburgers (3) already has a sandwich named after her. It's a hard roll with lots of baloney. Bill can tee off at the country club (4), but buying cigars at the Havana Trading Co. (5) could be politically sensitive, and the town has--horrors!--no McDonald's. Chelsea can pop into Hairtique (6) or Yankee Clipper (7) for a new do, or she can water-ski on Skaneateles' finger lake (8)--supposedly the cleanest in the continental U.S. Alas, the town's short- and fat-man race is no more. But if the town gets too much, Syracuse--which has more voters--is just 19 miles away.
