Wine and Dine for the Arts weekend begins…

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.  Speaking of scene - check out my SEEN gallery … Continue reading Wine and Dine for the Arts weekend begins…

On the fourth day of Christmas I checked out a spot in the neighborhood where I find it easy to enjoy visions of sugarplums any time of the year - Emack & Bolio.  Yes, that's right, it's not just ice cream here, friends.  There's a full assortment of luscious candies and chocolates,  smoothies and espresso … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas ~ Dining DelSo
