After a hike in the Catskills, what could be better than some local beer and snacks? Crossroads Brewing Company [21 2nd St, Athens, NY 12015] is just the spot you want to relax at, casual, yet attentive staff – great beers and yummy bar food. Order a flight and share […]

I have been to Schoharie County plenty of times, but somehow always missed visiting the town of Middleburgh! Thank goodness that was remedied recently, because it’s an awfully adorable little town. When you turn off Route 30 and head onto Main St, you’ll ooh and ahh if you’re anything like […]
Nothing fancy here, a little run down in fact, but I sure love a dive. Breakabeen General Store [115 Clauverwie Rd # 1, Middleburgh, NY 12122] was our lunch pick of the day in Schoharie County. The big old white building dabbles in a bit of everything, just like a […]
One faithful night we had what was easily our best meal on Big Island, and quite possibly one of the best on Hawaii, or anywhere else for that matter! Moon and Turtle [51 Kalakaua St Hilo, HI 96720] is a small and thoughtful restaurant. There is a clear focus on […]
This year we got the Empire Pass, so we’ve been on a mission to visit lots of state parks all over New York! Over Memorial Day Weekend Cherry Plain State Park was on the agenda, [26 State Park Rd, Cherry Plain, NY 12040] and we loved the windy roads that […]
Maybe you’re out on a beverage trail, you’re just looking to take a cruise out into the country, or you were hiking at Cherry Plain State Park…you could really make up any reason to take a drive to Stephentown (home town of Zaddock Pratt!) and visit the Beer Diviner [15950 […]
Don’t let the unassuming name fool you – this is one classy little joint. The Beer Belly in Albany’s New Scotland neighborhood [281 New Scotland Ave, Albany, NY 12208 – parking lot in the rear] is jam packed with craft beers and fun food finds. There is a comfortable yet […]
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 […]
If you find yourself in Glens Falls at dinnertime, head to the Davidson Brothers Brewery. There is a large area for outdoor seating that makes for good people watching on a warm evening. If you order the ample sampler you better be thirsty, or have a few friends to help […]
I love Brew on Lark St, it’s a really great new addition to the community. Here you can find a surplus of craft beers. You can create your own six-pack with different bottles of beer, fill up a growler with the beers on tap, or grab a few cold ones […]
I had such a fantastic time white water rafting with Adirondack River Outfitters. I purchased a Groupon for two people which included the rafting, a light lunch, and a bbq dinner. We spent four hours with a great tour guide navigating 17 miles of the Hudson River (way up north, […]
Today is Wednesday. It can be hard getting through the week, but a fun way to spice it up is Wednesday night Bingo at City Beer Hall. Bingo is no longer just for old ladies! Enjoy a cold beer with a personal pizza while playing bingo at a big table […]
A trip to Hudson is a great little getaway, a scenic trip less than an hour away. A visit to Olana can make you forget the world you’re leaving behind. The grounds are beautiful abundant in nature, and free to wander if you just want to take a hike on the […]
My man’s friends came to Albany for a visit to see the Hendrix Experience concert at the Palace Theater, it was phenomenal. We had a great time jamming out with Dweezil Zappa, Buddy Guy, and countless other rock gods, and the Palace is a striking venue. However, the boys being […]
