Ever had delicious Columbian cuisine? If you haven’t, you can just over the border of Massachusetts, in Pittsfield at La Fogata Restaurante. I had a really wonderful dining experience eating here. The joint is easy to miss if your driving fast, but once you get inside you’ll be happy you […]

Went to the Low Beat’s this morning to enjoy some brunch. My first reaction was, woah, it is dark in here for brunch. It is a bar though, and it’s a part of their ambiance. I had been to Valentine’s a few times and always had a good time there. […]
Keleher Preserve aka Wolf Hill was an absolutely wonderful hike. We were the only people in the preserve today, and we didn’t mind the peace and quiet. The preserve is tucked away in the back roads of Berne you feel like you’re in another world, but in reality so close […]
I have a strong affinity for the Pine Bush Preserves. It is very odd to be hiking through sand, with pine bushes, and seeing many sections of the land charred from an ecosystem that requires fire. It is a unique place, and I dig that. It is easy to lose […]
If you ever told my mother I would be eating any of the things I eat today she would laugh at you. Until embarrassingly recent times, I was the pickiest eater. Not anymore! I’ll pretty much try anything once these days, and I’m trying to try everything at least once. […]
Because I don’t have a backyard, I spend a lot of time in local parks. Washington Park is my go to because of its close proximity, but I love checking out other parks for some new scenery. I checked out Prospect Park in Troy, had some fun in the sun, and […]
Breakfast today was at “The Eatery” at Carol’s Place in Troy. We had never been in before, but the place was packed so we figured they must be doing something right, and their sign said ‘everything homemade’ so we were excited. After our coffees came over the waitress brought us […]
Hiking is one of my favorite activities, and I’m always on the lookout for a new place to do it. Today in between the raindrops I went to Bennett Hill. Drive down Delaware Ave out into the country, Clarksville, and it isn’t far from there. Down a winding road past […]
What could be better for your spiritual state than lunch at the Dali Mamma? I have wanted to go here for a while, but this joint is only open during the week, which makes it difficult to get to. However, the walk down to Maiden Lane off of Pearl St […]
My man’s friends came to Albany for a visit to see the Hendrix Experience concert at the Palace Theater, it was phenomenal. We had a great time jamming out with Dweezil Zappa, Buddy Guy, and countless other rock gods, and the Palace is a striking venue. However, the boys being […]
Muza. I like the way that sounds, and I like the way what I ordered tastes. I was sitting in a Lebanese restaurant in Troy, Beruit (absolutely fantastic experience there, and I’ll tell you about it another day), and I over heard someone talking about Polish food in Troy. I’d […]
I visit Canstruction at the NYSM every year. Themed sculptures made completely out of cans, that are then donated to The Food Pantries for the Capital District? Splendid. This year’s theme is Storytown Last year Today is the last day!! Head up all of the escalators at the New […]
