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 […]

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, […]
I’m really fascinated by Salt Lake City. I was in town for such a short time it was hard to get a grasp on the deeper feel of it all, but I liked what I saw. You can’t drive around the city without noticing the Mormon Headquarters, the state capitol, […]
This November I went on an absurd road trip starting in Las Vegas, all the way around Utah, through Arizona and ending at the Grand Canyon. It was exhausting, it was glorious, and it was everything in between. Our first stop after Las Vegas was Zion National Park, two and […]
My plane just landed in Las Vegas. It was a sunny afternoon, and I was ready for lunch. I hopped in the rental car and headed to Komex [633 N Decatur Blvd Ste H Las Vegas, NV 89107], a Korean and Mexican fusion joint. It is located off the strip, […]
The anthropology minor in me has always been fascinated with other cultures. When I heard that the largest indoor statue of Buddha in the Western Hemisphere was just a day trip away, I was in. The grounds of the Chuang Yen Monastery [2020 NY-301, Carmel, NY 10512] are mystical. As […]
Upstate New York is abuzz in autumn. So much to do, to see, everything crisp and beautiful. People flock to the farms to fill their senses with the season. Lakeside Farms [336 Schauber Rd, Ballston Lake, New York 12019] has got a lot to offer. They have a gift shop, […]
To Grandmother’s house we go! Lunch inside Little Red Riding Hood’s house? No it isn’t a fairytale, but you may recognize this real life restaurant from the illustrations of a memorable childhood story.

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 […]
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 […]
Smørrebrød is to Denmark what hamburger is to America, an essential food item to eat while visiting the country. What is a smørrebrød, you ask? It translates to ‘open faced sandwich,’ and these bad boys come in many shapes and sizes, and can be found in a variety of eateries […]
Healthy, funky, fun, and comfy: Lunch at Meli-Melo in Greenwich, Connecticut [362 Greenwich Ave, Greenwich, CT 06830] was a perfect post-hike meal! The menu in this happy yellow space is great! It’s packed with a variety of sweet and savory crepes, salads, soups, sandwiches, juices, and desserts. It’s hard to […]
I don’t normally make plans to eat at the mall, but Sammy D’s Cafe is a joint to make exceptions for. We had just hiked Buck Mountain and were hungry and in the mood for something hearty. Located in the Lake George outlets [Coleman Factory Outlets 1454 U.S. 9 Lake […]
