It’s funny how you can walk by something however many times and never notice it’s there. That was my story with Shindig [1 Tinker St, Woodstock, NY 12498], until one faithful afternoon when it finally appeared to me. It’s right in the center of town with a kitschy muted storefront. […]

What could be better than a good slice of bread? Two good slices of bread with yummy fixins smushed betwixt them. Rock Hill Bakehouse [19 Exchange St, Glens Falls, NY 12801] is beloved for its bread, loaf or sandwich. We sat down at a little table with lovely fresh flowers […]
I love Center Square because it’s such a walkable neighborhood. There are so many local dining options, a never ending list of places to try for date nights. Not too long ago we tried out Terra [238 Washington Ave Albany, NY 12210] for the first time, just around the corner […]
Utica Greens, ever heard of them? Ever had them? Another regional food I was curious about in Central New York. Franklin Hotel [301 S James St, Rome, NY 13440] isn’t technically in Utica, it’s 20 minutes down the road – but they have the greatly praised greens too. Franklin’s was […]
I absolutely love the vibe emanating from this joint! We ventured out to Troy for some breakfast and found some easy free street parking (275 River Street, Troy, NY 12180). There was definitely a lot of thought put into the decorating and I really appreciate that. I enjoyed looking around and […]
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; […]
Wowee I can’t believe it took me so long to get here. Pizza from DeFazio’s has been on my list of things to eat for ages (266 4th Street Troy, NY 12180). For some reason I hate making the trip to Troy (probably because of street parking), but always have […]
I love the idea of this joint healthy soups, salads, juices, and they make homemade pizzas. Perfect place for post hike snack! Earth Foods is located right on the main drag in Hudson (523 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534) and has a relaxed atmosphere. There is a lot of seating in this […]
Boots & Kimo’s (Cheap Eats, Breakfast, Windward) Other than delicious acai bowls, this was the only breakfast we went out for and I wouldn’t change a thing. Mac (macadamia) nuts are huge in Hawaii, and if you’ve never had them you should investigate because they are delicious. Mac nuts can […]
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. […]
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’ve professed my love for Cardona’s here before. About their great groceries and imported desserts. I have never been able to photograph a sandwich, until now! I have finally gained the willpower to wait a half a minute before devouring a Cardona’s sandwich so I can show you what I’m […]
It was Sunday evening and I had just left the USS Slater after a long fun day of tours! I needed sustenance and a caffeine kick if I was going to make it through the evening instead of just sleeping through it. A trip uptown was in order to visit Professor Java’s quietly […]
