What's up in the Neighborhood
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: ten fingers and ten toes, delivering Thanksgiving, courier ham, St. Patrick's, downtown Troy, unholy lust for egg nog, $11 ice cream, winter weight, Valatie, brunch, date night, sophisticated poutine, the corner of Pearl and Columbia, an automotive moniker, and toddler take aways.

Make sure you read Katie's Magdalena's Menu review - that place is awesome. I've probably been there a dozen times for lunch since it opened and have been consistently impressed.
