Moon's Lake House, Historic restaurant on Saratoga Lake, New York.
Moon's Lake House stood on an elevated position along Saratoga Lake, providing dining services for visitors and residents of Saratoga Springs.
Established in 1853 by Cary Moon, the restaurant gained recognition when chef George Crum prepared extremely thin fried potatoes for Cornelius Vanderbilt.
The establishment became a central point in Saratoga Springs social life, attracting daily carriage parades and prominent figures during the 19th century.
The restaurant endured multiple fires in 1893, 1908, and 1926, with each reconstruction maintaining its position as a local dining destination.
The kitchen staff prepared what became known as Saratoga Chips, thin fried potatoes that preceded the commercial production of potato chips.
