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 […]

Kalapawai Market (Sandwiches, Cheap Eats, Lunch [or early dinner], Windward) If you find yourself Windward and you’re looking for a tasty sandwich, you gotta stop at this market. These sandwiches rival my beloved Cardona’s and those back in NYC. I was skeptical reading such rave reviews, but they were dead […]
The Alley Restaurant at Aiea Bowl (Dinner, Leeward) One way to know Jeff and Julie are on vacation is after their 12-hour day shifts of zany activity they flop dead on the bed and watch the food network. We don’t have cable in our apartment so this is a tradition […]
I am gearing up for a vacation to Oahu, Hawaii, and it is all I can think about! That’s no good because I still have a week of finals left. My future trip has me reminiscing about last year when I first visited Hawaii and stayed on the island of […]
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 […]
Route 28 in the Catskills has got a lot of quirky and cool spots to visit, if you know where to look. Yesterday we started out with breakfast at the Bread Alone Bakery in Boiceville, and ooh it was good. The products here are organic and handmade, they look so good […]
I had a delectable brunch at Wobble Café in Ossining, Westchester. This place has really great chow, but you must be aware of the atmosphere. It is a kitschy joint that is extremely kid friendly. We were lucky to visit on an off-hour when the place was quiet, but even […]
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 […]
It’s been a rough couple of days in my apartment, between school, work, and both of us having a cold everything seemed to pile up! We’ve still managed to have some fun though, and also celebrate our 6-year anniversary. It was on a workday and with sunlight dwindling everything feels […]
I went camping this past weekend and was blessed with the most beautiful September weather. Dippikill is such a great perk for SUNY Albany alumni. It’s just about an hour and half from Albany tucked away on a dirt road in the town of Thurman. There are cabins big and […]
Got a quick cheap breakfast at Saratoga 5 Points Deli, and it was great. Breakfast sandwiches were nicely composed. Jeff got his on a bagel I opted for a roll, we were both full, happy, and energized for the morning. The deli has their own coffee which is very good. They […]
Good Morning Café in Ballston Spa makes a mean breakfast. They have a few outside tables and we were lucky to grab one on a beautiful morning. Jeff got their bacon lovers wrap and I took a big ole bite… yum. Other than the basic deliciousness of bacon egg and […]
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 […]
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 […]
A short and perfect little after dinner outing can be had in Watervliet pairing ice cream at Mac’s Drive In and a walk at Schuyler Flatts Cultural Park. Mac’s has lots of great homemade flavors and a real cute atmosphere. There is indoor and outdoor seating with interesting decorations. I […]
