Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
When I first started planning my brief time in Savannah, after purchasing my plane ticket, I solicited things to do over on Fodor’s travel board. Among the suggestions for places to dine, The Olde Pink House and The Grey were each mentioned multiple times. So, I booked at both. My Olde Pink House experience was … Continue reading The Grey, in black & white
I have a confession - I almost canceled my dinner reservation for this place after perusing some recent online reviews that were less than positive.

I remember thinking that the license plate … Continue reading Maine, man
