When you grow up here in New York, you’ll find that there are certain unique dishes that we all grow up eating – from Garbage Plates to Spiedies and so much more. Sometimes though, you’ll find the residents of the Empire State are bonding over more common eats though, like popcorn for example! Showcasing exactly all the reasons why you should make a point to explore our small towns and all that they have to offer, see how this one delicious stand in Olcott has been cooking up popcorn for nearly 100-years.
As you head out towards the shores of Lake Ontario, you'll find there are many reasons to visit the small town of Olcott but one is simply more delicious than all the rest.
To some people, it may seem strange for a small-town popcorn stand to have such a large and loyal following, but for the families that have been coming here for generations, it all makes deliciously perfect sense.
Right outside the former Bye home, while the Bye family no longer runs the stand, it's been in more than good hands since 1969 and has continued to flourish in Olcott.
An affordable snack that will quickly remind you of life's simple pleasures, on the menu at Bye's you'll find White, Caramel, and Caramel-Cashew Popcorn.
A snack that stays fresh if you properly seal it into a plastic bag, you'll often find visitors from both near and far walking away from the stand with arm-fulls of popcorn that they've gladly stocked up on.
Another unique thing about this popcorn stand? It remains open all throughout the year, excluding the months of December, January, and February. That's right, this stand is so popular you'll find people lined up waiting for their favorite bags of popcorn in all kinds of weather!
