Larrygator, since I grew up less than a mile from Hoffmans, I'll give you the directions. From New York... Take the NYS Thruway (87N) North toward Albany. Take Exit 24 off the Thruway. After going through the tolls, take the middle road, staying on 87N, (now the Adirondack Northway) toward Albany Internationa Airport, Saratoga, Lake George (I believe it's 1A). Continue on 87N to Exit 5, Latham. Take a left off the ramp onto Route 155. Go roughly 2 miles, through 1 light, at the second light, take a right onto Route 9 South (a major intersection). Hoffmans will be on your right in about a mile.
Hope that helps on your next trip.
