Crepes: Delicate deliciousness. I have found two joints within close range to Albany that creates crack-level crepes. Ravenous in Saratoga and Starving Artist’s Cafe in Lee, MA. In Saratoga I had Strawberry Rhubarb crepes with frites. Only for breakfast can you eat cake and potatoes. So epically delicious, plus you […]

Ever just want to get in your car and cruise? Let’s just say you have an electric car for my mental sake, we’re not intentionally trying to destroy the environment here. A beautiful sunny day, maybe a bit cold, you don’t want to be directly outside…you’re bored, you want to […]
Are you obsessed with sushi too? I’ll let you in on a delicious secret: Sake Café. It’s a small dimly lit joint down New Scotland that has the best sushi I’ve had in the Capital Region, and beyond. I love the Spicy Girl roll, Godzilla roll, and the Crazy Dragon […]
So you like food, you like fun, and you love castles, but how can you combine them into one magical evening? Why, go to Beardslee Castle on a murder mystery night! Never been to a murder mystery night? Well, neither had I, and it was a lot of fun. It […]

Albany winters are long and dreary. I try to travel a lot during this time, and when I’m not traveling I am dreaming of doing so. On one particular afternoon with nothing to do, a friend and I visited Parivar Spices and Food up Central Ave. While we were there […]
If you’ve visited Saratoga Springs it is likely you have seen the taps of distinctly smelling mineral water around town. It is said to be good for your health. Roosevelt Baths & Spa offer mineral baths for $30 (they have a frequent bathers stamp card which makes the 8th free! […]
HEY! You like Waffles? Any old waffle can help cure a hangover, or a healthy morning appetite. Almost all waffles are good, but only few are darn good. If you’ve been to Troy’s Farmers Market I hope you have tried the Belgian Liege Wafels, and if you haven’t, you should. […]
