A little trailer sits on the side of the road in front of a farm. It uses the ingredients from the farm to whip up some simple, satisfying Mexican food. Bubby’s Burrito Stand [193 W Market St, Red Hook, NY 12571] is all vegetarian. You can get a rice and […]
I always loved playing pool in college and out at bars. As I moved away from the party scene, I have played less and less, but always missed the game. The Golden Cue Billiard Lounge [1048 Central Ave, Albany, NY 12205] has been on my list of things to do […]
It was my favorite meal because of the whole story. The ups and downs, and the (spoiler alert!) happy ending. We were weary from walking for so many hours and when we made it to the door, so ready to sink into chairs hungry for dinner, we were wildly surprised […]
Le Traiteur Marocain 39 Rue de Bretagne, 75003 Paris, France When I went looking for some couscous, I didn’t realize I would be entering a market. Marche des Enfants Rouge was a great added bonus. We entered through the inconspicuous narrow gate and found many vendors selling prepared meals, flowers, […]
La Coincidence 15 Rue Mesnil, 75016 Paris, France Our first dinner in Paris was a huge success. We had made reservations a week in advance and were seated right away, though the intimate space was packed. We started with the creamy pumpkin soup with had a depth of flavor, and was […]
La Promenade Plantee The Parisian answer to NYC’s High Line, this garden was built atop an old rail line. The linear boardwalk stretches 2.9 miles elevated above the streets of the 12th arrondissement. The flowers were blooming beautifully during our spring visit, I especially loved seeing them contrasting with the […]
Louvre Museum The worlds largest museum and a must see while in the city, the Louvre Palace was built as fortress in the 12th century, the building and gardens alone are worth visiting. Walking around the Tuileries Garden is free and there is much to see. There are views of […]
Eiffel Tower The symbol of France. If you had a layover with only time to see one sight, this of course is it. You can see the tower from many spots in the city, but the two parks in closest proximity give unobstructed views: Champ de Mars and Jardins du […]
This past May my best friend and I did Europe Part II: two weeks, three countries, and memories that will last forever! It was an amazing trip, and I’m so happy to relive it through blogging over the next few weeks. We began in Paris, France took the train to […]
If it looks like an adventure and sounds like an adventure, it must be so. Off to Huckleberry Point [half a mile past 2425 Platte Clove Rd, Elka Park, NY 12427] we go! To add some mystique to your adventure, you won’t find big blinking signs telling you that you’re […]
Hungry from hiking nearby Hunter Mountain, we required sustenance if there was going to be any more activity in the day. Lucky for us, just down the road was the Village Market and Deli [6234 Main St, Tannersville, NY 12485] which had exactly what we needed, big fat sandwiches. The […]
Hunter Mountain is the second highest peak in the Catskills (our fourth of the 35 over 3500’!), it has a fire tower on the summit, and is a popular ski resort. There are multiple ways to approach this hike, but we took the steepest and shortest route to the top […]
It was just another Friday evening. We successfully made it through the week and all of our groceries. Hunger strikes and the age-old question is asked, “what’s for dinner?” Over the past few months there has been quite a bit of buzz about Chester’s Smokehouse [15 Watervliet Ave, Albany, NY […]
