Lake Placid- Need Advice

Hello Folks,

This coming Thanksgiving week I am in the process of planning a trip
to Lake Placid, NY and would like some advice. First of all, what
does the Lake Placid area have to offer? Are there lots of shops and
restaurants? Any theaters or other entertainment venues in town?
How about accomodations? I was considering the Hilton Lake Placid
Resort. Does anyone have opinions on this hotel or others?

Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
