What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: stopping to help, Mexican food, a deep-fried burger, Caribbean cuisine, Indian food, pizza, tofu, wild trysts, nightlife, movie rentals, Bolton Landing and formal wear.


Chuck stopped to help -- because "this is what you do."

Rob remembered (eulogized?) the "Capital Region's premier spot for wild trysts, clandestine and otherwise."

CAPow had what sounds like a disappointing experience at Mexican Radio in Hudson.

Mr. Dave braved the deep-fried burger at Swifty's in Delmar.

Kevin hit up First Choice Caribbean Cuisine before Troy Night Out.

Steve asked about how the three Indian restaurants on lower Central Ave compare.

Daniel B tried the supposedly better Domino's pizza.

Albany Jane's "pistachio hunger has awoken."

Rochelle enjoyed the golden tofu at One of a Kind Teahouse.

One of Kristi's readers asked about places that are "suitable for those in the late 20s-30s range to hang out and talk."

Lois lamented the loss of the Drive In Movie Store in Saratoga.

Bandit went to Bolton Landing.

And one of Matt's "On a Walk" photos was from a wedding. And what dog would attend a wedding not formally attired.
