After a long day of running around, but not yet ready to quit, we were in Glens Falls and looking for a place to relax. Cooper’s Cave Ale Company [2 Sagamore St, Glens Falls, NY 12801] fit the bill and had some tasty libations to boot. A cozy table and […]

If I was moving to Copenhagen, I know exactly which apartment I’d want, right on the edge of Rosenborg Castle Gardens [Gothersgade 11, 2300 København K, Denmark]. It’s the tiny yellow one in the middle, with a huge window to look out on this incredible park. Rosenborg Castle Gardens, or […]
If you want to feel the best parts about being a kid again, a visit to Brooklyn’s Coney Island is about as close as you can get. When you get there, you can’t miss Luna Park [1000 Surf Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11224] a colorful and quirky amusement park. One of […]
Winter snowmelt brings booming spring waterfalls! This is the season to get out there and experience a sensational sight at Hyuck Preserve in Rensselaerville. Years ago I visited this preserve and it was just another hike. That was over the summer, and we must have had a dry year. Just […]
Honolulu Zoo (Educational, Honolulu) The weather wasn’t perfect for the beach one day so we decided to go to the zoo (151 Kapahulu Ave, Honolulu). This was our biggest ‘splurge’ attraction on the whole trip at $14 a ticket, but it was worth it because we ended up having a […]

Have you ever been to the Museum of Natural History in the city? There are so many different museums in Manhattan, but this is certainly one of the most well known and elaborate ones of them all. If you enter through the subway you begin your journey with a beautiful […]
If you’re down for a drive and you love nature, but hate the cold, visit the Joseph L. Popp, Jr. Butterfly Conservatory in Oneonta. This place is really great. It’s not the biggest butterfly conservatory in the world, but it really packs a lot of punch. You can spend a […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Schoharie County has a plethora of lovely spots to visit. A really great museum is the Blenheim-Gilboa Visitors Center. It has fun interactive science exhibits which show you how energy is created. Next door is the Lansing Manor where you can take a free tour of the estate built in […]
I feel like I have to soak up all these warm days, because I’m not sure which one is going to be the last. I had a lovely sunset picnic at the Riverfront Park in Rennsalear. It’s right over the Dunn Memorial bridge by the Amtrak station, you may have […]
