I can’t believe I’ve never been to Madison Theater before! I’m not the biggest movie go-er but when I do catch a flick I’ll try and go to an independent place like Scotia Cinema or Spectrum 8. Similar to Scotia, Madison plays movies a bit later for a cheaper price. […]

Oasis is another great spot in Center Square. Similar to the Dutch Pot, Oasis (4 Delaware Avenue Albany, NY 12210) is another place I visited just once a long while back when it first opened. Within walking distance and a perfect spot to pick up some fantastic grub. We called in […]
I have started student teaching which has really taken over my life! Getting used to this new schedule means we’ve been eating out a bit more than we normally do. There are so many restaurants in Center Square that I have tried once, a long time ago, right around when […]
Wowee I can’t believe it took me so long to get here. Pizza from DeFazio’s has been on my list of things to eat for ages (266 4th Street Troy, NY 12180). For some reason I hate making the trip to Troy (probably because of street parking), but always have […]
It was Jeff’s birthday and I wanted to take him some place special. We had been to the Ginger Man once before years ago and remembered having a lovely time (234 Western Avenue, Albany, NY 12203). The location is so close to home, they have a parking lot, and it is […]
It’s been a rough snowy few weeks and a seriously cold winter so far, but hey, we live in New York! It’s to be expected. So if you can’t beat um, join um! This weekend might be great to head even further up north and experience the Saranac Winter Carnival, […]
What do you do after a hefty snow storm? Take a hike of course! Since we lack snowshoes this was an interesting hike, and another winter first for us! Deeeep, fluffy, sparkly snow making this 2.5 mile hike a real good workout. There were some people ice fishing on the […]
I love the idea of this joint healthy soups, salads, juices, and they make homemade pizzas. Perfect place for post hike snack! Earth Foods is located right on the main drag in Hudson (523 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534) and has a relaxed atmosphere. There is a lot of seating in this […]
I’m not the biggest wino, but I loved every wine I tasted at Hudson-Chatham Winery…that’s got to be saying something (1900 New York 66, Ghent, NY 12075 )! We were meandering about Columbia County on a winter’s day and decided to pop in for a tasting and take our favorite bottle […]
Are you a crazy cat lady/person? I am pretty obsessed with my cat; she’s a sweet, inquisitive, and beautiful beast. I love other people’s cats, strange feral cats, and all of the cats I met at Animal Kind in Hudson (721 Warren Street, Hudson). This place is a dream for […]
What a wintertime haven! We came in here to warm up after a nearby chilly hike and were so happy that we did. This place is blissful, located right on Warren St (135 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534). It is filled with three things that I really adore, especially in […]
We took a brisk walk at this interesting preserve the other day (319 Joslen Boulevard, Hudson). There is a little parking lot and there are trail maps provided, so grab one and go! Fresh snow on the ground, but the trails weren’t slippery or icy for the most part. There […]
I feel like I stumbled upon some enchanted grandma’s cottage, there is certainly some down home deliciousness to be had at this café (705 Columbia Tpke East Greenbush, NY 12061). To get to the restaurant you have to walk through the Country Trunk store filled with assorted jewelry, clothes, and […]
