I like the Ugly Rooster in Mechanicville. It’s a bit of a drive from Albany, but relatively scenic, and it’s worth it. The town is quiet seeming, and this joint just works here. The menu has got some unique flare going on such as southern style breggfast sandwich with a […]

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 […]
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 […]
A very affordable lunch or dinner option with quality ingredients and tremendous taste: I’m talking about a grilled cheese sandwich from the Cheese Traveler in Albany’s DelSo neighborhood. I absolutely cannot believe it has taken me this long to visit while it was waiting for me not even five minutes […]
Schoharie County has a plethora of lovely spots to visit. A really great museum is the Blenheim-Gilboa Visitors Center. It has fun interactive science exhibits which show you how energy is created. Next door is the Lansing Manor where you can take a free tour of the estate built in […]
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 […]
I had a great time in the Catskills the other day with a friend meandering about roads watching the leaves change their colors. First stop was Kaaterskill Falls for a worthy little hike. The lower trail begins with Bastion Falls, and leads you to the bottom of NY’s tallest two-tiered […]
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 […]
I just got back from an amazing trip to Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Letchworth State Park. I’ll break it down day-by-day: Day One Saturday morning we left real early to make Toronto by lunchtime, which was had at the St. Lawrence Market. Some locals recommended having a Peameal Bacon sandwich […]
After a week of rainy cloudy days I decided to spend a solid 12 hours out and about yesterday. At 8 AM we set out to Rome to visit Fort Stanwix, a beautifully maintained national monument. There is rich history here in a beautiful setting. You may enter through fantastic […]
What could be better for your spiritual state than lunch at the Dali Mamma? I have wanted to go here for a while, but this joint is only open during the week, which makes it difficult to get to. However, the walk down to Maiden Lane off of Pearl St […]
