How to spend 24 hours in the Adirondacks

Just in time for your weekend! • Drive north late in the afternoon just as the sun begins to commit to its trip to the west. • Settle in with a bowl of chili and more cheese and crackers than you typically consume in one sitting.

A Saratoga Trifecta – Track, Farmers Hardware & Violet’s

Going to the track has never been my thing. Gambling doesn't appeal to me, I don't like big crowds and I'm really distressed by the number of horses which have died this season. It's all just too much. But, I do enjoy early mornings in Saratoga. There's a simple beauty to the horses trotting around … Continue reading A Saratoga Trifecta – Track, Farmers Hardware & Violet’s

12 Days of Christmas – Dining DelSo

On the 8th day it was time to check out the bar(tenders) at a favorite neighborhood joint - New World Bistro Bar.  This place has been such a huge asset to the DelSo area.  Seriously, it probably single-handedly started the resurgence of Delaware Avenue when it opened a few years back.  I think the appeal … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas – Dining DelSo

12 days of Christmas ~ Dining DelSo

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me...a kick ass bialy from All Good Bakers.  Ok, people, you must know about our DelSo Farm to Bakery restaurant, right?  Britin does a great job promoting their efforts and if there is a discussion about locally sourced produce or dairy, you can be … Continue reading 12 days of Christmas ~ Dining DelSo
