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. […]

I definitely consider myself a dessert connoisseur, it’s my favorite meal of the day and I never skip it. So you can trust me. Here, in no particular order, are three completely different snacks you don’t want to leave the island of Kauai without trying: Jo-Jo’s Anuenue Shave Ice – […]
I wanted to try some of the regional cuisine in the area so I thought the delicacy Boston cream pie was an essential bite. Although the home of the dessert is located in the city, I kept hearing great things about a local chain Flour Bakery [131 Clarendon St Boston, […]
A little Italian bakery almost out of time, perhaps not too much has changed since it opened in 1928. If you’re visiting Utica or just passing through, make an effort to stop at Florentine Pastry Shop [667 Bleecker St, Utica, NY 13501] for something sweet. Everything looked and smelled delicious […]
Alexandria Bay, or for those better acquainted, Alex Bay is a bustling little summer town in the Thousand Islands. The theme here is water: boating, fishing, and diving – you’ll find it all and more. On land the main drag is filled with souvenir shops, fried food and fudge, bars, […]
No trip to LA is complete without a visit to Griffith Park. Iconic Griffith Park is to LA what Central Park is to NYC, there is something to see for anyone visiting. You can spend an entire day exploring, or even years and never see it all. Griffith is America’s […]
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 […]
I love pie. I can’t have it in the house very often because a whole pie won’t last for more than 2 or 3 days. It starts off as dessert as it is intended to be. Then it becomes breakfast…not so different from pancakes right? Finally any time I happen […]
Hula Grill Waikiki (Dinner/Dessert, Waikiki) Our one typically tourist fancy pants dinner was here on our first night in Oahu. The place was packed when we got there for our 6:45 reservation and service was a little sluggish, but sweet. It’s a little loud but if you are capable of […]
I spent Thanksgiving at home with my family in Westchester, and before we had our feast I got to take a beautiful snowy hike with my Mom. Rockefeller State Park in Pleasantville was the destination, and it was so beautiful and memorable. This is a very extensive park with a […]
I went camping this past weekend and was blessed with the most beautiful September weather. Dippikill is such a great perk for SUNY Albany alumni. It’s just about an hour and half from Albany tucked away on a dirt road in the town of Thurman. There are cabins big and […]
A very interesting hike in the Catskills is Overlook Mountain. The hike can be strenuous for some, as it is mostly uphill with little relief until you reach the summit. However, when you get there you will not be disappointed. You will find the remnants of an abandoned hotel, great […]
If you’re down for a bit of a cruise, I’ve got a place for you. We were heading down state to visit our families, and decided to break up the trip with dinner. We stopped in Red Hook, a really charming town an hour south of Albany that I hope […]
