CORNING’S OLDEST ACTIVE CACHE
If you have never been to Historic Market Street in Corning you are in for a treat, if you have already discovered this treasure you know how special it is.
Many wonderful restaurants are located on Market Street. There are an array of choices ranging from quaint soup and sandwich shops to gourmet meals with multiple courses. Market Street's restaurants are sure to satisfy all appetites with the large range of cuisine.
Boutiques, antiques and specialty shops galore, a shoppers paradise is what you will find on historic Market Street in downtown Corning. Nationally recognized for its architectural styles and restoration, Market Street is home to over 115 stores, art galleries, jewelry makers, and outlets which can all be found in a compact 5 block area.
While in the area you may want to visit the World Famous Corning Museum of Glass, which chronicles some of Corning’s glassmaking and receives 400,000 visitors annually. They learn about the 3,500-year history of glass—from ancient Egyptian pieces to today’s fiber optics. The museum’s hot glass show with its glowing furnaces and molten, almost liquid glass, is a popular attraction, where skilled glassmakers shape glass into sparkling vases or intricate fish using steel tools and long “blowpipes.” While a narrator tells what’s happening, visitors get a close-up view, on overhead monitors, inside the 2,350-degree furnaces.
