Manchester, Vermont was on the menu this weekend, and it was quite a memorable day trip. After an hour and half we found ourselves at the base of Equinox Mountain, the highest peak in the Taconic Mountain range. We set out to climb up to the summit 3.1 miles away. […]

I had a Groupon to visit the Epicurean Bistro in Latham for quite a few months, and finally cashed in on it this weekend. It was Friday night and by the time we got back from work the sun was just about down. The temptation to get into comfy clothes […]
While in the Catskills I stopped by Hartmann’s Kaffeehaus, a lovely little German bakery that also serves breakfast and lunch. The intent was to sit down and have breakfast, but we didn’t make it past the pastries behind the glass. This was going to be a full on pastries for […]
We hiked past Diamond Notch Falls up to West Kill summit in the Catskills, and had a real memorable time doing so. The short easy trail from Spruceton Rd. to the falls followed a creek gushing with water and great little cascades until the falls itself. Diamond Notch Falls was […]
Takeout is a rare treat for us; indeed, circumstances must perfectly align. A weekend getaway loomed, leaving our pantry nearly bare. Since we lacked time for a restaurant meal and packing, takeout won. Our craving centered on the flavors we knew we could only get from one place: Mr. Pio […]
I had been looking forward to visiting Mado Patissere in Chatham for some time, and finally got a chance this weekend! The hours are elusive online, but there are raving reviews, making this joint quite intriguing to me. The owner declared that the shop is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, […]
Looking for lunch in Saratoga? Try Mrs. London’s, and make sure you have room for epic dessert. Their sandwiches are premade, some are heated up, some served cold, both I sampled were delish! The smoked chicken Panini was crispy and gooey while the chicken salad was dense and luxurious. While […]
If you’re looking to take a nice cruise and peep at the foliage through three states, look no further— I’ve got a plan for you. Take Route 7 from Troy towards Bennington, Vermont. Check out the moose and cougar statues along the way. Grab some breakfast at the Blue Benn Diner. […]
Got a quick cheap breakfast at Saratoga 5 Points Deli, and it was great. Breakfast sandwiches were nicely composed. Jeff got his on a bagel I opted for a roll, we were both full, happy, and energized for the morning. The deli has their own coffee which is very good. They […]
Good Morning Café in Ballston Spa makes a mean breakfast. They have a few outside tables and we were lucky to grab one on a beautiful morning. Jeff got their bacon lovers wrap and I took a big ole bite… yum. Other than the basic deliciousness of bacon egg and […]
I have been meaning to stop in Bake For You for quite some time, and I always covet the pictures of their desserts on facebook. I finally had some free time and saw something I was really interested in, a peach puff pastry! I got to the shop around 11am […]
My first experience with Croatian cuisine was very positive at Dubrovnik in New Rochelle. The place is very popular and only bar seats were available, but we were happy to get in and try it out. Bread and water were supplied and we waited a short time for our meal. […]
Lots of running around will make a girl hungry. I had the pleasure of filling my belly at Little Crepe Street in Mt. Kisco. This joint was decorated adorably, had remarkably quick and friendly service, and great food! It is small inside, but we got a nice little window on […]
I celebrated my birthday recently, and there’s no one I like to do it better with than my Mom! We had all sorts of adventures around Westchester and Long Island. My annual birthday lunch is at Surf’s Out in Kismet, Long Island. We park at Robert Moses State Park and walk […]
We visited Shwe Mandalay last night and had a great experience eating Burmese cuisine for the first time! The place was quiet, clean, and service was top notch. There is a small parking lot, it was great not having to park on the street on Central Ave. I enjoyed some […]
