For months we watched the little brick storefront beside the Lion Heart say, ‘opening soon.’ To be honest, I didn’t expect much. I never do for the ventures on and around Lark Street for some reason. The restaurant opened, and everyday Jeff kept saying, let’s go! I shrugged it off […]

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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
On our trip to Boston we only stayed in town for one night. On a Saturday morning we left at the crack of dawn from Albany – it was dark, frosty, and the sky was sprinkled with stars. The drive is just under three hours on I-90, and we were […]
High ceiling, interpretive art, friendly service, and darn good food. Public EAT+DRINK [34 Holden St, North Adams, MA 01247, parking in the back] is a trendy gastro pub where anyone can find something tasty that suits their palate. You’ll find lots of ingredients from local farms paired with craft beers […]
Sweet…sweet…so sumptuously Sweet Mimi’s [47 Phila St, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866]. Come for brunch, they’ve truly got it going on in this cozy little joint. I got the bacon pancakes, because I’m a sucker for anything sweet and salty. They’re pretty. They’re delicious. They’re worth it. Folded into their homemade […]
Oasis is another great spot in Center Square. Similar to the Dutch Pot, Oasis (4 Delaware Avenue Albany, NY 12210) is another place I visited just once a long while back when it first opened. Within walking distance and a perfect spot to pick up some fantastic grub. We called in […]
I love the idea of this joint healthy soups, salads, juices, and they make homemade pizzas. Perfect place for post hike snack! Earth Foods is located right on the main drag in Hudson (523 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534) and has a relaxed atmosphere. There is a lot of seating in this […]
Blessings Tavern in Colonie, go there on a frosty day to sizzle up your situation (1116 Watervliet Shaker Road, Colonie, NY 12205). You could drive by this unassuming joint your whole life and never know what you’re missing out on, what a hidden gem. This is definitely a townie bar; […]
Sylvan Glen Park Preserve in Yorktown was where my Mom and I spent Black Friday, sweet deal! It was a bitter cold, but starkly gorgeous day. We parked and instantly got a winter wonderland view of a little lake. We passed by a little dog park and continued onto the […]
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 […]
I will officially say that Scoups is my favorite place to get ice cream in the Capital Region. They’re located in Loudonville, right next door to The Crossings. This place usually has a decent crowd but lines go fast. I really love their homemade Italian ices and ice cream cookie […]
