The only time I have ever heard the word Gullah was from a childhood show, Gullah Gullah Island. I didn’t realize it as much when I was a kid because it was just fun to watch, but the show was exposing me to a unique culture of the barrier islands […]

Searching for a satisfying sandwich in the Clifton Park area? I’ve got a great local spot for you to check out. The Halfmoon Sandwich Shoppe [1613 U.S. 9, Clifton Park, NY 12065] is bigger on the inside! Well, probably not, but you’ll be surprised to see how much seating is available. […]
Fresh, fancy, fit for a king frozen yogurt. Over the past few years a lot of different frozen yogurts spots popped up and in height of the craze, which spot do you choose to go to? Ayelada [1210 Troy Schenectady Rd, Latham, NY 12110] is the Greek word for Cow, […]
A perfect little country store with killer sandwiches, Hager Farm Market [1232 Mohawk Trail, Shelburne Falls, MA 01370] is such a great spot for lunch! Not all sandwiches are created equal. The sandwiches here start on homemade bread with fun flavors and consist of quality ingredients. I went with the […]
March seems colder than February this year and it has me daydreaming of warm weather. Excited for what is ahead and thinking about days gone by. Last summer I had the loveliest dining experience at the Riverview Café [48 Riverview St, Stuyvesant, NY 12173]. A unique setting in a quiet […]

It’s not everyday that you find a restaurant you feel understands your soul. Jazz, pinball, and fried chicken. One faithful Sunday we decided to stay close to home and explore spots that have been on my ‘list of things to do’ forever. The Flying Chicken [122 4th St, Troy, NY […]
I know there weren’t too many freezing cold or snowy days this winter. I am happy for that fact. We did have a handful of days where it felt good to cozy up with a cup of hot cocoa, and one afternoon I did just that at Vischer Ferry General […]
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 […]
It’s just a little market and deli franchise on Big Island, but to me a memorable spot with quality items. Island Naturals Market [15 -1870 Akeakamai Loop,, Pāhoa, HI 96778] was perfect for our needs while situated in Pahoa. Breakfast? Grab it at the hot bar. Lunch? They’ll make it […]
I’m not so sure about eggplant. It has a strange color and texture. I’ve tried it in small portions, still never trusting it completely. I’ve certainly never ordered it as a main dish, until I visited Peter Pause Restaurant [535 Nott St, Schenectady, NY 12308]. Peter Pause was at the […]
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 […]
BBQ, Cajun, soul, local, Satchmo’s [2320 N 4th St, Flagstaff, AZ 86004]. Man, this place was an unexpected treat for two hungry hikers. If you are looking for lunch (or an early dinner, open till 7PM daily), head to this casual Louis Armstrong themed café. Good music and great food, […]
Service is really important in restaurants. When a place has really good friendly service, you feel even better about the food. When the food is just as great as the service, what could be better? We felt right at home in Sweet Cravings Bakery and Bistro [397 N Main St, […]
You need a big ‘ol breakfast early in the morning to get your day started right for hiking and adventuring around Moab. Head to Love Muffin Café [139 N Main St, Moab, UT 84532], they’ll give you what you need. First thing you may notice is the funky local art […]
