Hungry from hiking nearby Hunter Mountain, we required sustenance if there was going to be any more activity in the day. Lucky for us, just down the road was the Village Market and Deli [6234 Main St, Tannersville, NY 12485] which had exactly what we needed, big fat sandwiches. The […]

Every spring I have to swing by Five Rivers Environmental Education Center [56 Game Farm Rd, Delmar, NY 12054] to see all of the chicks and listen to the frogs. It’s one of my favorite close to home gems (just 20 minutes away!) that whisks me far away from the […]
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 […]
Jewish delis are a staple back home in Westchester serving up solid soups and sandwiches, a real comfort meal. We don’t have a whole bunch of them upstate, so they’re one of the places I make a point to visit when I take the two and half hour journey back […]
I know there weren’t too many freezing cold or snowy days this winter. I am happy for that fact. We did have a handful of days where it felt good to cozy up with a cup of hot cocoa, and one afternoon I did just that at Vischer Ferry General […]
Almost every neighborhood has a market along with their police station, library, and school. The market is usually just a staple for the townies, not a draw for visitors. The Elm Street Market [251 Elm St, Bennington, VT 05201] takes something as simple as a neighborhood market and elevates it […]
Classic, historical, but most importantly – downright delicious. Olde Bryan Inn [123 Maple Ave, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866] is my favorite restaurant in Saratoga Springs. I love OBI for so many reasons. First off you can’t beat the atmosphere. It’s an upscale tavern, but not pretentious and very affordably priced. […]
I’m really fascinated by Salt Lake City. I was in town for such a short time it was hard to get a grasp on the deeper feel of it all, but I liked what I saw. You can’t drive around the city without noticing the Mormon Headquarters, the state capitol, […]
This November I went on an absurd road trip starting in Las Vegas, all the way around Utah, through Arizona and ending at the Grand Canyon. It was exhausting, it was glorious, and it was everything in between. Our first stop after Las Vegas was Zion National Park, two and […]
The Catskills have just got the funkiest places; I recently had a fantastic lunch at Last Chance Cheese Antiques and Café in the town of Tannersville (6009 Main Street, Tannersville, NY 12485). We had just come from a hike and were hungry (story of our lives) and this place so […]
I go to so many preserves to see what they have to offer, and this is one of the few that is a true winner warranting return. I went to the Marshlands Conservancy with my Mom over winter break and we had a really great hike. It is conveniently located […]
Kalapawai Market (Sandwiches, Cheap Eats, Lunch [or early dinner], Windward) If you find yourself Windward and you’re looking for a tasty sandwich, you gotta stop at this market. These sandwiches rival my beloved Cardona’s and those back in NYC. I was skeptical reading such rave reviews, but they were dead […]
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 […]
Took a short close to home hike at the Moh-He-Con-Nuck Nature Preserve in Selkirk. The trail head tells a bit of history about the land and the natives that once roamed it. It had some real peaceful trails through varying landscapes. I saw lots of chipmunks, and some wild turkey. […]
I’m a sucker for a good sculpture park. The Circle Museum in Austerlitz has some pretty interesting work strewn about in a gorgeous country setting. Some are very abstract containing everything but the kitchen sink, some are more realistic and look like birds or other things, and most have a […]
