After a long day of traveling and too short of a night’s sleep we woke up in Pahoa on the Big Island, our home for the next five days. Most people choose to stay in bigger cities (‘bigger’ is relative because all cities are pretty small on Big Island) like […]
I know my weaknesses. I don’t generally go for Italian food for that reason. When I see bread and pasta there is no stopping me. So I only have my affair with Italian once in a blue moon. Most recently it was with E.K. Cibo’s [1702 Chrisler Ave, Schenectady, NY […]
It is the perfect time to head to the Adirondacks and see the foliage, but this hike is gorgeous in any season. Cat and Thomas Mountains [761 Valley Woods Rd, Bolton Landing, NY 12814] is just over an hour north of Albany and offers a variety of trails leading to extraordinary […]
Driving down the street of a residential area and ‘you’ve reached your destination,’ did you make a mistake? No, you haven’t, and you’re not trespassing – you’ve reached the trailhead to the Cascade Trail [182 Marion Ave, North Adams – parking at the end of the block on the right]. […]

When you hear ‘Battenkill’ you might think about milk from their creamery. You may have heard of a bicycle race in the area. Maybe you’ve tubed or kayaked down the river, what could be better on a hot summers day? How about a hot sweaty hike, possibly climb, up 1260’? […]
The drive on Route 7 from Albany to Vermont is so peaceful, and if you’re heading to Lye Brook Falls [The intersection of Glen Rd. and Lye Brook Access Road in Manchester Vermont, continue on Lye Brook Access Road until you reach the parking lot] the beauty continues on. I […]
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 […]
Top Picks: Marukame Udon (Udon, Cheap Eats, Lunch/Dinner, Waikiki) Ultimate comfort food. This was one of the best meals we had on our trip, situated smack in the middle of Waikiki, super cheap and super fun experience. If you walk the streets of Waikiki you’ll notice a snaking line outside […]
We recently visited Sushi X in Latham with friends in town who wanted to pig out on some sushi. The decorations are garish and the service is lax. This is definitely a quantity over quality place so you need to realize that when visiting, but the food was pretty decent […]
August is always a mad scramble for me to enjoy every last moment of the summer season! This past weekend I had so much fun gallivanting about the Berkshires. On our way to MA, we stopped at Grafton Lake State Park for a bit of sunshine and to break up the […]
