I recently hiked Monument Mountain in Great Barrington. When entering the parking lot I realized it is a very popular hike, there were tons of people there. This did not hinder the enjoyment of the hike, however. We did not encounter too many people along our climb to the summit […]

We visited Shwe Mandalay last night and had a great experience eating Burmese cuisine for the first time! The place was quiet, clean, and service was top notch. There is a small parking lot, it was great not having to park on the street on Central Ave. I enjoyed some […]
Went to Cider Belly Doughnuts today and I was impressed, Dunkin better watch out. It was just past the lunch hour and only a few people were buzzing about the place. Fresh donuts were being baked and the joint smelled swell. I asked the guy behind the glass what his […]
I just got back from an amazing trip to Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Letchworth State Park. I’ll break it down day-by-day: Day One Saturday morning we left real early to make Toronto by lunchtime, which was had at the St. Lawrence Market. Some locals recommended having a Peameal Bacon sandwich […]
I love Indian food, especially on a cool rainy day. I normally go to Shalimar, their food is great and it is very close to home. I love them. However, I have heard from so many people that Karavalli in Latham is the place to go. We went there on […]
A good beach day is one of my most cherished things in the world! I love the ocean air, the vitamin d, and all the natural treasures that can be found in a good beach. Sherwood Island State Park in Connecticut is one of my favorites! It is a bit […]
My Mom and I had such a hoot visiting Muscoot Farm in Katonah, Westchester. The grounds are free to enter and there is a whole lot to see! First you notice all of the farm animals. I enjoyed observing and spending some time with the many different creatures about. There […]
Had a fun dinner at New World Home Cooking in Woodstock recently. The place gets packed, so definitely make a reservation. They give you a big hunk of thick bread to dip in what I believe was some hummus concoction to hold you over until you get your meal. We […]
August is always a mad scramble for me to enjoy every last moment of the summer season! This past weekend I had so much fun gallivanting about the Berkshires. On our way to MA, we stopped at Grafton Lake State Park for a bit of sunshine and to break up the […]
Today I had great summer fun bouncing around Columbia County. The morning started off cool and cloudy, perfect weather for a hike! First stop was High Falls in the town of Claverack, a great little preserve with 2 miles of trails. The hiking is quite easy and has extremely rewarding […]
I’ve professed my love for Cardona’s here before. About their great groceries and imported desserts. I have never been able to photograph a sandwich, until now! I have finally gained the willpower to wait a half a minute before devouring a Cardona’s sandwich so I can show you what I’m […]
Croton Gorge Park is an amazing gem in Cortlandt, NY. Right from the parking lot you are given outstanding views of the Croton Dam and spillway. This is a beautiful engineering feat, and you can climb to the top of this wonder. Here atop the aqueduct views are afforded of […]
I’ve been spending a lot of time with family downstate this summer, and having a great time exploring. I hiked Turkey Mountain in Yorktown Heights with my mom. The hike was just over 3 miles by doing the perimeter and there were some great sights along the well-marked trails. We […]
If you find yourself in Glens Falls at dinnertime, head to the Davidson Brothers Brewery. There is a large area for outdoor seating that makes for good people watching on a warm evening. If you order the ample sampler you better be thirsty, or have a few friends to help […]
