"You know you're in a Latte Town," Brooks observed, "when you can hop right off a bike path, browse in a used bookstore with shelves and shelves of tomes on Marxism the owner can no longer get rid of, and then drink coffee at a place with a punnish name...before sauntering through an African drum store or a feminist lingerie shop."
So, I think Lake Placid doe not quite fit the bill, but Middlebury and Stowe certainly do. Plattsburgh doesn't but Burlington does, and of course, Boulder and Aspen are the archetypes.
Read a great little article that fleshed out this concept of Latte Town, populated by Bobos (the Bourgeois Bohemian).
