Are you feelin lucky? We must have been walking in here without a reservation…Yet lucky we were, as the next party of two trying to come in was sent away. Don’t gamble. Make a reservation because you want to eat here. Zeller Bistro [Budapest, Izabella u. 38, 1077 Hungary] is […]

Torvehallerne [Frederiksborggade 21, 1360 København K, Denmark] is different from your typical city market. It’s small, quiet, hygge, and slightly high end, perfectly suited for Copenhagen. It doesn’t open until 10am, 11 on Sundays. There are two little buildings that hold just a couple of vendors; one has more food […]
Maybe you’re out on a beverage trail, you’re just looking to take a cruise out into the country, or you were hiking at Cherry Plain State Park…you could really make up any reason to take a drive to Stephentown (home town of Zaddock Pratt!) and visit the Beer Diviner [15950 […]
Imagine living in a small town: a church, library, post office, and a restaurant… You want to go out to eat? It’s the only game in town; good thing for Rensselaerville Palmer House Café is a casual yet elegant, severely scrumptious establishment teeming with locally sourced options [1462 Main St. […]
Changing up your grocery shopping routine is a way to keep things fun and interesting. In the past few years the Capital Region has sprouted many new options like Shop Rite, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and Fresh Market to spice things up. Sometimes for a small shopping I pick up […]
On a chilly Sunday afternoon there was no lovelier place than a sunny window seat looking out at the patio in the Saratoga Winery [462 Route 29 Saratoga Springs, NY 12866] dreaming of warmer days. In this spacious winery everything around us was wooden from the floors to the tables to […]
I love the feel of a good farmers market. The Troy Farmer’s Market is my favorite in the Capital Region and it is probably the only thing I like better in winter than in summer! Sure it’s great to be by the river with a breeze, but in winter I […]
I am not a vegan, but if I could eat at this restaurant everyday I would become one! Tucson’s Tasteful Kitchen [722 N. Stone Ave., Tucson, parking lot] has amazing gourmet vegan and vegetarian cuisine; no carnivore could deny the deliciousness whipped up here. The atmosphere is intimate and hip; […]
A friend and I popped in to Troy to have lunch and check out som art exhibits at The Arts Center of the Capital Region (265 River Street, Troy, NY 12180). When we got there the lady at the front desk told us that all new exhibits were being set […]
Top Picks: Kahuku Farm Cafe (Locally Grown, Lunch/Dessert, Northshore) Even on a chilly windy day under a tent in the pouring rain, this place managed to leave a really positive impression on us. We scampered from the car to the cover of the Farm Café and put our order in. […]
Top Picks: Tanioka’s Seafoods: (Poke, Cheap Eats, Lunch [or early dinner], Takeout, Leeward) Our favorite meal of the entire trip was here; we visited this spot twice and both times were fantastic. This small local joint is situated in a strip mall next to a 7-11, off of a main parkway. […]
Hi, I’m back from winter vacation! This year I was fortunate enough to visit the Hawaiian island of Oahu with my love for nine whole days, internet free. Last winter we visited Maui, which was an entirely different world. Maui (the way we interpreted it) was more of a relaxing […]
After a long day of shopping and visiting a crazy roadside attraction, were hungry and in the Berkshires. To Nudel it was! A fine restaurant in Lenox, MA where we would enjoy a charming dinner. The chow was fantastic. We ordered three small plates and a small portion of pasta. […]
The holiday season is SO BUSY! I feel extra rushed because I need to get all of my shopping and wrapping done by the 12th this year, challenge accepted! My favorite way to shop for the holidays is by taking a day trip to Northampton, MA. This is my third […]
I had breakfast at the Natural Way Café in Guilderland with some friends not too long ago. The place was different than I expected inside, it was pretty spacious and modern seeming. We all ordered breakfast sandwiches, and one of my friends asked for eggs over easy, and he was […]
