If you want really fresh, yummy, seafood combinations on the Kona side of the island, look no further than Sun Dried Specialties [81-951 Haleki’i St, Kealakekua, HI 96750]. No frills here, a few fold up tables, and the menu is written up on a board. You will find some complimentary […]

The Big Island is the youngest of the Hawaiian Islands and still has active volcanoes. For this reason, you won’t find as many long stretches of sandy beach as you would on the other islands, but a lot of rocky lava beaches. However, on this island you will find hot […]
Trendy, affordable, and delectable, Carson Kitchen [124 S 6th St, Las Vegas, NV 89101] should be your dinner choice before exploring Fremont Street. The restaurant in located on a quiet corner, but it’s anything but hushed inside. The place was packed, but we scooted in to a table for two […]
I found a new love! I am the biggest fan of Sweet Beet Bistro [93 Main St, Greenwich, NY 12834], a romantic little dinner spot on a picturesque rural main street. When a restaurant cares about the ingredients they put in their food and community that they are situated in, […]
Sage Bistro [2050 Western Ave, Suite 108 Guilderland, NY 12084] in Guilderland was such a surprise! Located in a strip mall the storefront doesn’t look like much, but you will walk into a classy setting and get some pretty delicious food. We popped in with no reservations early on a […]
I know there is no shortage of Chinese spots in the Capital Region, some more authentic than others, but sometimes I long for the qualities of the joints I grew up with back home around Westchester. It’s the little things that mean the most when you go to sit down […]
Top Picks: Haleiwa (Cultural, Northshore) One of my favorite things is getting the feel for a new town. Haleiwa is just small enough and kitschy enough to be a perfect place to explore in one day. There is one shopping main strip that runs through the town, you can park […]
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. […]
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 […]
Manchester, Vermont was on the menu this weekend, and it was quite a memorable day trip. After an hour and half we found ourselves at the base of Equinox Mountain, the highest peak in the Taconic Mountain range. We set out to climb up to the summit 3.1 miles away. […]
Had a fun dinner at New World Home Cooking in Woodstock recently. The place gets packed, so definitely make a reservation. They give you a big hunk of thick bread to dip in what I believe was some hummus concoction to hold you over until you get your meal. We […]
Maine was such an amazing adventure, so very worthy of a trip. Our plan was to visit Acadia National Park, a fair distance of seven hours from Albany. To break up the trip we stopped in Portland for lunch, the largest city in Maine. We ate at Duckfat, a small […]
