A hip and welcoming spot offering comforting Korean fare, Sunhee’s Farm and Kitchen [95 Ferry St, Troy, NY 12180] is a great place to try the cuisine for the first time. The etsy looking décor is simple, clean, and cheerful. Order up at the counter. The food comes on a […]
Most of the time I go to a venue to experience the performance. The first time I went to see a performance to experience a venue was at EMPAC [Intersection of 8th St & College Ave, Troy, NY 12180], and it was worth it. The Experimental Media and Performing Arts […]
I took a few classes at Hudson Valley Community College to satisfy undergrad deficiencies for my Masters Degree. Learning sure can make you hungry and I would come off campus around lunch time and look longingly at the nearby Deli and Brew [64 Vandenburgh Ave, Troy, NY 12180]. I never did […]
A good bar is hard to find. In so many cities I’ve gone out for a drink and thought, man… If my city had a bar like this I might actually want to hang out in it. Well, writing an article on pinball for All Over Albany gave me a […]
It’s not everyday that you find a restaurant you feel understands your soul. Jazz, pinball, and fried chicken. One faithful Sunday we decided to stay close to home and explore spots that have been on my ‘list of things to do’ forever. The Flying Chicken [122 4th St, Troy, NY […]
There are many places to get Mediterranean food in the Capital Region, but one spot, nestled on a quiet side street in Troy is where I choose to return over and over again. It’s a quiet and comfortable open space, I love the warmth of the wood fired oven, and […]
Coffee, ritzy little snacks and trinkets, wine. Superior Merchandise Co [147 Fourth St Troy, New York] is a conglomerate of things you want. Your eyes will take you in every which way looking at walls, shelves, and tables with carefully picked items. The devil is in the detail and this […]
There is no White Castle in the Capital Region, but if you’re looking to get some sliders to fill the crave look no further than Slidin’ Dirty in Troy [9 1st St, Troy, NY 12180]. This place has really taken off, and I can see why. The main attraction here […]
I’m at the tail end of obtaining my masters degree so things are a bit busy on my end. I don’t have as much time to go far away trips and trails everyday; I’ve been staying close to home. As busy as I get I always find time to exercise, […]
Nibble? More like cram into your face, these gourmet donuts at Nibble in Troy [461 Broadway, Troy, NY 12180] are seriously tasty. I popped in to this lovely little nook on a weekend morning and it was bustling. I stood in line for a short time, service is quick, and […]
I’ve been hearing for ages that The Ruck in Troy [104 3rd St, Troy, NY 12180] has the regions best wings, and while their wings are great, they’ve also got a whole lot more awesome to offer! Street parking was quiet on a Sunday afternoon, we tipped our hats to […]
The night sky is so mysterious, so romantic, and so educational. If you’ve ever looked up at the stars and wondered what’s beyond… Hirsch Observatory [Inside RPI’s Campus in Troy on College Ave – the lot with the gate open or GPS: 42.729014, -73.676728] may be a place for you […]
I absolutely love the vibe emanating from this joint! We ventured out to Troy for some breakfast and found some easy free street parking (275 River Street, Troy, NY 12180). There was definitely a lot of thought put into the decorating and I really appreciate that. I enjoyed looking around and […]
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 […]
