What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: Joe Bruno, books on the bus, restaurant rebirth, grocery lists, egg nog, cauliflower, Polish liquor, markets, a cemetery, parties, and thankfulness.

Leigh listed a few types of books that she's learned she shouldn't read on the bus.

Celina celebrated the reborn Carmen's in Troy.

Rob told the story of how Martha Stewart ruined his turkey.

Albany Jane was all over the local markets shopping for her Thanksgiving feast.

Daniel B went on a similar tour -- and came away with rendered goose fat.

Mr. Dave found someone else's grocery list. (And had his first eggnog shake of the season.)

B found a fractal cauliflower at the Troy Winter Farmers Market.

Jess came across a little bit of Poland in a liquor store on Delaware Ave.

R provided videographic evidence of the yumminess of the steamed pork buns from the Asian Supermarket on Central.

Kimelodic wrote about an "exceptional" piercer on Lark.

Chuck took some HDR photos in St. Agnes Cemetery.

One of Naomi's readers asked for help in finding a good place for her wedding party.

And Kristi and her readers listed what they're thankful for.
