I've loved Lark Street ever since I moved to Albany 20+ years ago. When I was first visited the area and found myself having brunch at the Beverwyck, I knew that Center Square was where I wanted to be and concentrated my housing search in that neighborhood. I like the architecture, the shops and restaurants, the … Continue reading My favorite Lark Street event – The Santa Speedo sprint.

Gingerbread Fun at the UAG
liberal with the frostingYesterday, Quinn and I took part in Lark Street's Winter Wonderlark activities at the Upstate Artists' Guild's Gingerbread Funhouse.

We made a 5:30 reservations and relied on Google maps to get us there, which fortunately worked. When we arrived, … Continue reading Cella Bistro
Now is the winter of our discontent…
http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/1518513696010150626nVocxnI'm not one to get all Shakespearean on you - in all honesty, I've never read an entire Shakespeare work in my life; despite having an undergraduate degree in English. But, this morning while I was looking out the window and watching the glorious white stuff fall from the sky, this quote just popped into … Continue reading Now is the winter of our discontent…
