What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: a bucket list, Spittle Bugs, a winery, mountain biking, grass-fed steak, sushi, cakes, bolognese, high heels, fiddleheads, churros, The Orchard, MMA, a Bull's Eye, coal, and the upside to rain.

Katelyn compiled an "Upstate New York bucket list."

Yet another "we had no idea" creature highlighted by Jackie: the Spittle Bug.

Jen visited the Altamont Winery.

Drew fed his addiction on trails maintained by the Saratoga Mountain Biking Association.

Daniel got into the kitchen at Central Steak.

Jerry and Cute~Ella's Mission: Sushi Tour stopped at Tokyo Sushi Deli in Latham.

One of Kristi's readers asked about the best local cake shop.

Cap2Cap enjoyed a "totally on the mark" Panang curry bolognese at New World Bistro Bar.

FiS Dan scored some fiddleheads at the Saratoga Farmers' Market.

One of Steve's readers asked about where to find churros (this is a question that must be answered).

Albany Jane was "underwhelmed" at Henry's Market in Waterford.

Kayla wished she had ordered more pizza at The Orchard (and probably less of the macaroni and cheese wedges).

Emily got comments about her shoes as she walked to Cafe Capriccio.

Kevin continued his campaign for MMA legalization.

Chuck hit the Bull's Eye at a garage sale.

Paula spotted a coal cover in downtown Albany.

Matt noticed what you might say is an unfortunately named poultry company in Schenectady.

And the Exiles enjoyed one of the side effects of all that rain.
