Seriously, there is something special about Spindles on Remsen [241 Remsen St, Cohoes, NY 12047]. Cohoes isn’t the first town I think of when trying to decide on the date night dining scene, but I love being proven wrong. We walked in and the place was trendy and romantic, yet […]

A magical multifaceted unicorn on the dining scene, custard at Persimmon Café [226 Calhoun St, Charleston, SC 29401] was life altering. Let me slow my roll, we can start from the beginning. We came for lunch and the little lot on the side of the restaurant was full, but we easily […]
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 […]
Classic, historical, but most importantly – downright delicious. Olde Bryan Inn [123 Maple Ave, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866] is my favorite restaurant in Saratoga Springs. I love OBI for so many reasons. First off you can’t beat the atmosphere. It’s an upscale tavern, but not pretentious and very affordably priced. […]
Until I actually get to Peru, I’ll have to settle for eating Peruvian cuisine, and that ain’t so bad! It’s actually great, if you’re at Alpamayo Restaurant [60 Main St, Lee, MA 01238]. The atmosphere is very comfortable, service is helpful. We took our time looking over the big menu, […]
I love Center Square because it’s such a walkable neighborhood. There are so many local dining options, a never ending list of places to try for date nights. Not too long ago we tried out Terra [238 Washington Ave Albany, NY 12210] for the first time, just around the corner […]
I love unique food experiences, trying out different types of cuisines, keeping it interesting when dining out. I’ve tried Korean food many times, but Namu Korean BBQ [1770 Central Ave, Albany, NY 12205] was my first experience with Korean BBQ. Outside: generic strip mall, Inside: trendy, spacious, clean. Korean pop […]
Of all the museums to choose from in a city, I insisted on Froggyland [Kralja Tomislava 5, Split, Croatia]. Everyday I would tell my companion after long weary hours of exploration, let’s go to Froggyland and at last – she was worn down by my incessant exuberance. Heck, I even […]
I am like a moth to The Flammerie [7 Hudson St, Kinderhook, NY 12106]. This little restaurant nestled at the edge of town is bustling with action, and for good reason. If you don’t make a reservation you probably won’t get into the back room, try your luck at the […]
Walk into this little Soho establishment and you will enter a world different from your own where men and women are walking about in traditional garb and cultural references are abound. If you are looking for unique drink and food in NYC, Korchma Taras Bulba [357 W Broadway, New York, […]
Mio Vino is a smooth and sophisticated joint you wouldn’t quite expect to be on the main drag in rural Altamont [186 Main St, Altamont, NY 12009]. As out of place as it may seem nestled between mom and pop country-esque shops, the restaurant was packed on a Saturday night! […]
Looking for your next date spot? Next Door Kitchen in Ballston Spa [51 Front St, Ballston Spa, NY 12020] is your place. The interior design is beautiful; I love all the wood, bricks, and plants. The lighting is artsy and playful. Service is quick, waters and some goodies were brought […]
After a long day of shopping and visiting a crazy roadside attraction, were hungry and in the Berkshires. To Nudel it was! A fine restaurant in Lenox, MA where we would enjoy a charming dinner. The chow was fantastic. We ordered three small plates and a small portion of pasta. […]
If you ever told my mother I would be eating any of the things I eat today she would laugh at you. Until embarrassingly recent times, I was the pickiest eater. Not anymore! I’ll pretty much try anything once these days, and I’m trying to try everything at least once. […]
