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 […]
It is such a treat to discover local preserves. Little treasures close enough, small enough, that you can you can run to after work for some nature therapy. Schiffendecker Farm Preserve [Bender Lane, Glenmont, NY 12077] is one of those special places. Just down the road in Glenmont nestled right […]

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, […]
Delicious food, big portions, and friendly service. Mix [120 N Leroux St, Flagstaff, AZ 86001] is an excellent breakfast option while in Flagstaff. The restaurant is located in Heritage Square, if you see the puma you know you’re going the right way. It’s a wide open space with high ceilings […]
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 […]
Star child…Iron Lion Zion… Jive turkey? What does it all mean!?! Breakfast in Syracuse, of course! Local art lines the bright purple walls, this place definitely has the funk going on. Could there be a better pairing than Funk ‘n Waffles [313 S Clinton St, Syracuse, NY 13202]? If you […]
It’s everything I want from Woodstock: sunshiny, organic, kitsch, and aside from all that – a truly tasty lunch spot. Sunfrost Farms [217 Tinker St, Woodstock, NY 12498] has got it going on, and therefore is understandably packed on a weekend. Just outside the hubbub of the main drag find […]
Alexandria Bay, or for those better acquainted, Alex Bay is a bustling little summer town in the Thousand Islands. The theme here is water: boating, fishing, and diving – you’ll find it all and more. On land the main drag is filled with souvenir shops, fried food and fudge, bars, […]
A small town brewery with big flavor, we had a great time hanging out and tasting some beers at the Argyle Brewing Company [1 Main St, Greenwich, NY 12834]. The space is pretty small, but it has character. Some interesting business was hanging on their walls along with little knickknacks […]
I found a new love! I am the biggest fan of Sweet Beet Bistro [93 Main St, Greenwich, NY 12834], a romantic little dinner spot on a picturesque rural main street. When a restaurant cares about the ingredients they put in their food and community that they are situated in, […]
I couldn’t be happy that our hostel in Split was just a stone throw away from the Green Market [ul. Stari Pazar, Split, Croatia], or Pazar as the locals call it. You’ll find a variety of fresh fruit at great prices here. We went to the same vendor every time […]
I may have stumbled across some of the best Mexican on the East Coast in, Vermont? Yes. Manchester, VT to be exact, and it isn’t the first place I’d go looking for killer Mexican, but hey – they’ve got it going on. At Cilantro Tacos [5036 Main St, Manchester Center, […]
