One of the most exciting parts of owning a restaurant, for me, is conceiving and hosting events. The Ladies First party last fall and our New Year's Day Open House, were two of my favorite afternoons spent at Lark + Lily in the near year (!) since we opened. Last Sunday I was fortunate enough … Continue reading Yoga Brunch

Getting your mind into the gutter
When you own a house there’s always something that needs attention. If you’re lucky, you can alternate the fun projects such as a new bathroom or a rehabbed deck with the necessary, but unsexy projects like replacing the roof or windows, and achieve some sense of satisfaction with the expense of homeownership.

I've been busy and since they're closed Monday nights, I haven't been able to take advantage of this spot as an easy and quick dinner spot with my guys at the start of a week. Last Saturday, though, the … Continue reading A rave for Crave
Hatred & Heroes
Monday night I attended a vigil at the NYS Capitol sponsored by the Capital Pride Center. The event, to honor the victims of Saturday night’s massacre in Orlando (not to be confused with previous massacres we’ve witnessed) was organized in the afterglow of Albany’s Pride celebration. How’s that for tragic irony, people? I gathered with a … Continue reading Hatred & Heroes
