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 […]

Once in a while I find a special brewery that steals my heart. I’ll admit I’m not a big craft beer drinker, but my partner in crime is and I love supporting local businesses. On Fourth of July we were out riding around the most beautiful American country roads in […]
The Smallest House, Oude Hoogstraat 22, Amsterdam Tea in the smallest house in Amsterdam? Yes please. We walked in to the skinny building, 6ft 7in wide and 16ft 4in deep, the smallest self-contained house in the city built in 1738. Inside is only mildly claustrophobic, but so worth visiting. The […]
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 […]
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 […]
I took a trip up to Clifton Park for a little hike before some libations at a nearby brewery. Kinns is a small park filled with a lot of trees and dog walkers, and not too much else (625 Kinns Road, Clifton Park, NY 12065). We took the loop trail […]
Breweries aren’t my normal spot to spend an afternoon, but I had a really fun time at Shmaltz in Clifton Park (6 Fairchild Square, Clifton Park, NY 12065)! We parked in the lot and walked in a bit past noon on a Sunday. The tasting room is nice, a really great […]
A trip to Cooperstown for most usually has something to do with baseball, but it has a whole lot more to offer than that. Our first trip there was in the fall; it was a beautiful drive and included a trip to The Farmers Museum and Brewery Ommegang. The Farmers […]
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 really like New Paltz. There are great options for hiking, eating, and it’s got a generally kitschy vibe. If I lived closer I might be there every weekend! 1st Trip: My first visit was last summer. We started the day walking around the old homes from the 1700s […]
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 […]
