A little trailer sits on the side of the road in front of a farm. It uses the ingredients from the farm to whip up some simple, satisfying Mexican food. Bubby’s Burrito Stand [193 W Market St, Red Hook, NY 12571] is all vegetarian. You can get a rice and […]

It was just another Friday evening. We successfully made it through the week and all of our groceries. Hunger strikes and the age-old question is asked, “what’s for dinner?” Over the past few months there has been quite a bit of buzz about Chester’s Smokehouse [15 Watervliet Ave, Albany, NY […]
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 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 […]
A café with a spiritual side, go in for a tea leaf and tarot card reading, or simply for a scrumptious sandwich. The Enchanted Café [7484 S Broadway Red Hook, New York] in Red Hook has got a different vibe. Cozy as life should be in Red Hook, but with […]
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 […]
The anthropology minor in me has always been fascinated with other cultures. When I heard that the largest indoor statue of Buddha in the Western Hemisphere was just a day trip away, I was in. The grounds of the Chuang Yen Monastery [2020 NY-301, Carmel, NY 10512] are mystical. As […]
Smørrebrød is to Denmark what hamburger is to America, an essential food item to eat while visiting the country. What is a smørrebrød, you ask? It translates to ‘open faced sandwich,’ and these bad boys come in many shapes and sizes, and can be found in a variety of eateries […]
Healthy, funky, fun, and comfy: Lunch at Meli-Melo in Greenwich, Connecticut [362 Greenwich Ave, Greenwich, CT 06830] was a perfect post-hike meal! The menu in this happy yellow space is great! It’s packed with a variety of sweet and savory crepes, salads, soups, sandwiches, juices, and desserts. It’s hard to […]
NYC’s Chinatown is as authentic as it gets, and you can have all sorts of fun spending an afternoon here soaking in the local flavor. If you’re planning on having lunch don’t miss out on Prosperity Dumpling [46 Eldridge St, New York, NY 10002], a true hole in the wall. […]
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; […]
What a special gem! Little Café Poca Cosa is nestled right on a main road in Tucson [151 N Stone Ave Tucson, Arizona, metered street parking available], yet the restaurant it feels as though it is a world of its own. We chose to sit outside on the small patio […]
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 just got back from an amazing trip to Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Letchworth State Park. I’ll break it down day-by-day: Day One Saturday morning we left real early to make Toronto by lunchtime, which was had at the St. Lawrence Market. Some locals recommended having a Peameal Bacon sandwich […]
