I'm never prouder to be even an infinitesimal part of the Capital Region dining scene than I am during this (4th) annual event. Such a terrific group of generous and hardworking - and really fun, folks that we are all lucky to have in our community.

12 Days of Christmas – Dining Delso
The 9th day of Christmas would be the ideal time to visit the big sister on the block - Nicole's Restaurant. This family run spot is most definitely an established business in the DelSo, really, it's practically an institution.

12 Days of Christmas – Dining DelSo

Mezze
I finally got to Mezze, an awesome restaurant just south of Williamstown, MA., after years of hearing about it.

Believe me, though, I would send that forgotten initial fan of the place a "thank you" note if I … Continue reading Mezze
Woodstock!
A couple of weeks ago, I realized it was starting to feel like I hadn't seen my bestie in a long time. Within hours, an indication of how psychically in tune we are, I got a text from her requesting a get together. We decided on a date and a destination and I immediately began … Continue reading Woodstock!
