Heard around the neighborhood

The NeighborhoodHeard this time around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: a report on the non-VIP duck at Jack's, a haul from the closest Trader Joe's, and a close encounter with "blogging royalty."

Alex and Cati went to Jack's, the "Lincoln Town Car of Albany restaurants," recently. It sounds like Cati had some great halibut, but Alex got stuck with the wrong end of a duck.

Trader Joe's Watch! Albany Jane hit up Albany's closest TJ's (in Hadley, MA) and she scored Unburied Treasure, along with a bunch of other tasty stuff. (AOA's exhaustive coverage of Trader Joe's)

And Liz Benjamin came thisclose to meeting Rob Madeo. She totally missed out.

There's a lot more going on around the neighborhood, check it out. And if you know of great blog or site we should include, post a comment or send us an email: editors |at| alloveralbany |dot| com.

The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up.
