If you’re looking for a breakfast sandwich that’s absolutely delicious, fast, with no frills…you go to Jack’s (547 Central Avenue, Albany, NY 12206). The classic dining car is located on Central Ave and has a parking lot, a quick drive from Center Square. We had a late start and got […]
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 […]
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 […]
Such a yummy dinner here, so close to home! Just on Central Ave in Albany with a great little parking lot to get off the main drag (218 Central Avenue, Albany, NY 12206). This place has been on my list for a long time, and I finally made it out […]
The Albany Heritage Area Visitors Center is a small space packed with some pretty interesting bits and pieces. Their gift shop has a variety of locally made items and Albany themed gifts, perfect for holiday shopping! Their little museum has great exhibits on the rich history of Albany, it is […]
I love the Corning Tower, I’ve been there countless time, but never in the winter…until now! The sights were so different with the bare trees, you can really observe a whole lot more. I love visit in every season, this is definitely the best view in Albany. If you’ve never […]
I had breakfast at the Natural Way Café in Guilderland with some friends not too long ago. The place was different than I expected inside, it was pretty spacious and modern seeming. We all ordered breakfast sandwiches, and one of my friends asked for eggs over easy, and he was […]
One of the reasons winter is hard for me is because I have to find indoor activities. In the depths of last winter I found myself with cabin fever heading to the Albany International Airport. No, I didn’t have a flight to take; I was just going to get out […]
A very affordable lunch or dinner option with quality ingredients and tremendous taste: I’m talking about a grilled cheese sandwich from the Cheese Traveler in Albany’s DelSo neighborhood. I absolutely cannot believe it has taken me this long to visit while it was waiting for me not even five minutes […]
I required breakfast before taking a hike. There was nothing in the pantry, I didn’t want it to be a whole ordeal, and I didn’t want to do Dunkin –but I wanted something quick and local. As always in my life there were a lot of stipulations. I had been […]
Takeout is a rare treat for us; indeed, circumstances must perfectly align. A weekend getaway loomed, leaving our pantry nearly bare. Since we lacked time for a restaurant meal and packing, takeout won. Our craving centered on the flavors we knew we could only get from one place: Mr. Pio […]
I took another visit to Short and Stout Tea this weekend because I won their weekly give away! How exciting I had been sharing their specials for weeks on facebook and my efforts paid off :). Last time I got a simple green tea and a delicious savory pastry. This […]
