FroYo at Ayelada

August 20, 2017 MelindaLeave a comment

It may feel like summer is starting to wind down, but there are quite a few hot and muggy days left to get through. Maybe you’re looking for a cool treat to balance out the weather, but something like hard ice cream or soft serve is too heavy and unhealthy. If that’s the case, a… Continue reading FroYo at Ayelada

Campagna

April 11, 2017 MelindaLeave a comment

Earlier this year I agonized over the beginning of my busy season at work, and all of the comfort foods I needed to see it through. Well, I’m happy to report that this weekend was the much needed conclusion to several very hectic months. After I got caught up on some sleep and relaxation, I… Continue reading Campagna

Chez Nous

March 5, 2017March 5, 2017 MelindaLeave a comment

I’m a firm believer that food doesn’t need to be expensive to be good. I usually steer away from the highest priced restaurants in the area, not only because I often don’t think it’s worth the expense, but also because there are so many great places to eat in the Capital Region with a mid-level… Continue reading Chez Nous

La Mexicana Grocery & Restaurant

February 1, 2017 Melinda2 Comments

I’ve only been living in the Capital District for around nine years, and more than half of that time was what I like to call my starving college days, when I didn’t have a lot of time or money to travel around in search of good food. So to some extent, I feel like I’m… Continue reading La Mexicana Grocery & Restaurant

Fifth Tier Baking Studio

December 23, 2016 Melinda1 Comment

The newest addition to downtown Albany is a cute little bakery called Fifth Tier Baking Studio. You may have heard of this place a few years ago, but then assumed it fell through when nothing ever materialized. Actually, the owner has had a pretty rough go of it since announcing the new venture in 2014 –… Continue reading Fifth Tier Baking Studio

Westfall Station Cafe

October 10, 2016 Melinda1 Comment

A new restaurant and bar recently opened in Averill Park – the Westfall Station Cafe. It’s in a little bit of a weird location near Averill Park High School in the middle of a partially finished housing development (Westfall Village), but I’d imagine once there are more houses built, it will fell less like a restaurant… Continue reading Westfall Station Cafe

Italy – Tuscany and Liguria

October 2, 2016October 2, 2016 Melinda2 Comments

I was fortunate enough this year to be able to take a trip to Italy, primarily in the Tuscany and Liguria regions. And as a food enthusiast and zealous planner, you better believe that I had our food itinerary planned out every step of the way. Here’s a sampling of some of the best dishes… Continue reading Italy – Tuscany and Liguria

The People’s Pub

September 11, 2016September 11, 2016 MelindaLeave a comment

When I saw that Chatham had a new restaurant that was receiving some some positive attention from other local food bloggers, I knew it needed to be added to the top of my must-try list right away. I love a good excuse to go to Chatham – it’s such a pretty drive from my house through pasture-lined… Continue reading The People’s Pub

Hong Kong Bakery & Bistro

August 1, 2016August 1, 2016 MelindaLeave a comment

Hong Kong Bakery & Bistro on Wolf Road in Colonie has become one of my favorite places in the Capital District to order from a dim sum menu. Yes, I still wish we had one of the traditional cart-style dim sum establishments around here, but of course I realize that there’s not enough demand to sustain… Continue reading Hong Kong Bakery & Bistro

Chicken Souvlaki at Athos Athos
Dinner Review

Athos

May 22, 2016May 29, 2017 Melinda2 Comments

I have driven by Athos in Guilderland so many times and thought to myself that I must stop in for a meal soon. It always looks packed, and a quick skim through the menu shows that it has much more to offer than the standard Greek fare. Although you’ll find the usual items like spanakopita… Continue reading Athos
