In the midst of finals week in grad school, the fact that it is Cinco de Mayo just about slipped my mind. If you want to get in the spirit consider taking a trip to La Mexicana Grocery and Restaurant in Schenectady, it’s about as close to Mexico as you’re going […]

Muza. I like the way that sounds, and I like the way what I ordered tastes. I was sitting in a Lebanese restaurant in Troy, Beruit (absolutely fantastic experience there, and I’ll tell you about it another day), and I over heard someone talking about Polish food in Troy. I’d […]
Cheesecake, Valentines Day, perfect excuse to indulge. The name is Cheesecake Machismo. (Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecake) If you have not been here, you do not know what you’re missing. Go here, now, if you can. This is one of Albany’s little gems. Nestled on Hamilton Street close to the state […]
When I moved to Albany I thought I’d never find a deli comparable to my hometown favorites. I was so wrong. Cardona’s on Delaware Ave is so much more than the delis back home. You walk in and are transported to an old school Italian marketplace. Not only can you get […]
Food. Hospitality. Environment. I went to Carmen’s Café in Troy and was completely floored. My experience there was perfect! Let me stop gushing. My boyfriend and I went for breakfast. I had flan French toast…need I say more? I will. It was beyond delicious so sweet and hit every spot! […]
Lovely is the word to describe this sequence I’m about to fill you in on; Head to Salem, NY (no witches to be found here). You haven’t spent too much time in Washington County? Neither had I until recently, until the day I discovered Steiningers. I had heard good things […]
Crepes: Delicate deliciousness. I have found two joints within close range to Albany that creates crack-level crepes. Ravenous in Saratoga and Starving Artist’s Cafe in Lee, MA. In Saratoga I had Strawberry Rhubarb crepes with frites. Only for breakfast can you eat cake and potatoes. So epically delicious, plus you […]
Ever just want to get in your car and cruise? Let’s just say you have an electric car for my mental sake, we’re not intentionally trying to destroy the environment here. A beautiful sunny day, maybe a bit cold, you don’t want to be directly outside…you’re bored, you want to […]
Are you obsessed with sushi too? I’ll let you in on a delicious secret: Sake Café. It’s a small dimly lit joint down New Scotland that has the best sushi I’ve had in the Capital Region, and beyond. I love the Spicy Girl roll, Godzilla roll, and the Crazy Dragon […]
I am not an Albany native. I moved up here to go to SUNY Albany and never left. When my friends and I were in college we hated Albany. We said there was nothing to do, the weather stunk, and so did the food (if only I knew that when […]
Albany winters are long and dreary. I try to travel a lot during this time, and when I’m not traveling I am dreaming of doing so. On one particular afternoon with nothing to do, a friend and I visited Parivar Spices and Food up Central Ave. While we were there […]
HEY! You like Waffles? Any old waffle can help cure a hangover, or a healthy morning appetite. Almost all waffles are good, but only few are darn good. If you’ve been to Troy’s Farmers Market I hope you have tried the Belgian Liege Wafels, and if you haven’t, you should. […]
