What's up in the Neighborhood
From Sebastien's lantern tour of Howe Caverns.
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: the Tweed Ride, things left behind, Howe Caverns, the Black Bridge, personal responsibility, baby red foxes, FDR, MEGABODEGA, restaurant week, a $14 burger, sushi in Altamont, lobster mac, inexpensive beauty supplies, bananas, man etiquette, and a remembrance.

I went to Kelsey's last night for Restaurant week and waited an hour and got nothing-no appetizers, no entrees, not even a roll, no service from a waiter, only sodas from a hostess. The wallpaper was coming off, and the chair rail was dusty. It wasn't that busy, and after an hour the waiter (Barback?, busboy?) finally stopped at the table to apologize. Too late - I left and will tell everyone at the local college I work at to never ever go there.
Went to The Merry Monk and had a nice meal, great service and tipped well!
