Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
Taste Finn’s girl dinner: The Caesar salad is a dynamite medley of crisp/crunchy/salty/fishy/cheesy. So good. The fries are a most worthy companion. See Too Much: I love Megan Statler on Hacks and I love her even more in Lena Dunham’s latest project. Both characters are strong, yet surprisingly sensitive, women with a unique perspective and … Continue reading Sense(s)
