Growing up eating pizza in the Bronx made my standards of a slice very high. I have heard many suggestions for great places up here, and I’m sure they are quite good. However, I don’t know if I could ever love a slice more than from my home joint Crosby […]

Cookies and Milk in Saratoga Springs will make you feel like you are in heaven if you are a dessert addict like myself. This place is done right. It looks beautiful, smells good, but most importantly the wide variety of treats taste AMAZING. There is a mix for any type […]
Spumoni? I’d never heard of it. AOA has some interesting food articles, and if I’m in the neighborhood I’ll give it a try. I went to Civitello’s while I was in Schenectady and this was a pocket of the city I’d never been to before, Little Italy. A few bakeries, […]
I have a Cardona’s obsession, and I don’t want any help for my problem. Cardona’s imports a lot of the goods they sell from other local establishments. Every time I enter the store I secretly hope and pray that they will have my favorite cookies. It happens maybe 1 out of […]
I went to Short and Stout, a relatively new teahouse in Albany and found a real gem! The joint is pretty big. There are lots of places to sit inside, in winter this will be a nice way to get out of the house. There was a hot crème brulee tea […]
I don’t claim to be a soccer fan, but watching any high stakes game can be a good time. I had dinner at Flores Family Restaurant in Schenectady and enjoyed a great authentic Latin American meal while watching the World Cup, and it was a lot of fun. Go on […]
Having a tea party was great fun as a child, but grown up tea parties are even better with real phenomenal food and drink. When you order afternoon tea at the Whistling Kettle you get your choice of tea, soup or salad, a sandwich, and dessert. Everything is always top […]
Albany’s Capital City Gastropub is a great middle ground to take a dad who simply wants a burger and beer from a can, and a girl who is interested in something a little more unique. The boys got Tilldale Farms burgers and were very quiet and happy with them. I tried some […]
I will officially say that Scoups is my favorite place to get ice cream in the Capital Region. They’re located in Loudonville, right next door to The Crossings. This place usually has a decent crowd but lines go fast. I really love their homemade Italian ices and ice cream cookie […]
Holy wow. The Caribbean food at Irie Vybez completely exceeded my expectations and is officially a new staple for my Albany dining go-to’s. Walked into a brightly painted room playing a reggae Pandora station with two friendly guys manning the joint. The place is pretty small, so most people in were […]
I won’t lie; I have a MAJOR sweet tooth. I love most anything sweet, but cookies are definitely a favorite. The Cookie Factory in Troy happens to make exceptionally good cookies, among other sweets. I’ve frequented their bakery to pick up treats for events, or just for me when I’m […]
Want to go on a really lovely date and have a delicious meal? Try out From The Garden on Lark. This place usually has a Groupon available, so it is a good idea to check to cut down on price. This is a small joint, so make sure you call […]
Great Middle Eastern food in walking distance? Yes please. Mamoun’s Falafel. I’ve walked past this place numerous times, never imagining the insides were quite so lovely. Upon entering the dimly lit establishment we were immediately seated and I began to look around. I loved the high ceilings , brick walls, […]
Ever had delicious Columbian cuisine? If you haven’t, you can just over the border of Massachusetts, in Pittsfield at La Fogata Restaurante. I had a really wonderful dining experience eating here. The joint is easy to miss if your driving fast, but once you get inside you’ll be happy you […]
If you ever told my mother I would be eating any of the things I eat today she would laugh at you. Until embarrassingly recent times, I was the pickiest eater. Not anymore! I’ll pretty much try anything once these days, and I’m trying to try everything at least once. […]
