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.

Albany’s Last Run
Saturday night was the 16th annual Last Run in Albany. This is absolutely one of my favorite races of the year - festive, fun and filled with friends. This year, my friend Lisa got herself together and registered before the race reached its 1500 runner capacity and we had a blast! The course for this … Continue reading Albany’s Last Run

This inaugural trail run race was held last Sunday morning, with proceeds benefiting the Special … Continue reading Happy Halloween!
(An estimated) 8,000 people, 400 kegs and a dozen dachshunds – It must be Oktoberfest!
One of my sons asked me the other day who drinks more beer, the Irish or the Germans. Being the product of a German mother and an Irish father makes me an authority in his eyes, I suppose. My best answer was it depends what month of the year it is - and October belongs … Continue reading (An estimated) 8,000 people, 400 kegs and a dozen dachshunds – It must be Oktoberfest!
