AOA Birthday drawing #4: A Taste of Albany + All Good Bakers + The Cheese Traveler
From a previous year's Taste of Albany.
This week, AOA celebrates our 5th birthday -- and you get the presents. Each day this week we'll hold a drawing for another birthday present. You can enter every day to win all kinds of good stuff.
Drawing's closed! Winner's been emailed!
Today birthday drawing prize: Two tickets to the Taste of Albany May 2 at the State Museum. The fundraiser for the Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless will include samples of food from more than 30 Capital Region restaurants.
But, wait, there's more! The winner will also receive a $50 gift certificate from All Good Bakers on Delaware Ave in Albany, and a cheese plate for ten from The Cheese Traveler next door.
Because today is the AOA Birthday Party, we thought it'd be fun to ask this question for the drawing:
What's your favorite AOA story, recurring feature, item, or thing of all time?
Answer the question in the comments, and you're entered. We'll pick one winner at random.
A Taste of Albany is from 6-8 pm May 2 on the State Museum mezzanine. Tickets are $70 each ($60 for people under $30) -- there's also a $150 VIP ticket that includes a special pre-event reception.
All Good Bakers -- a farm-to-bakery cafe -- is at 540 Delaware Ave in Albany. The Cheese Traveler is right next door and offers hand-crafted cheeses, meats, and specialty foods, as well as meat from Tilldale Farm.
Important: All comments must be submitted by 11 am on Friday, April 18, 2013 to be entered in the drawing. You must answer the question to be part of the drawing. (Regular commenting guidelines apply.) One entry per person, please. You must enter a valid email address (that you check regularly) with your comment. The winner will be notified via email by 2 pm on Friday and must respond by noon on Monday, April 22.

My social life relies entirely on the AOA Stuff to Do this Weekend post. I would be a lonely hermit without it. :-)

That is a tough question becasue there is a lot to like, my 2 favorite recurring features are the Morning Blend and What's up in the Neighborhood.

Anything history related.

Hate to jump on the bandwagon, but yeah, stuff to do this weekend is pretty great. And any time you announce upcoming concerts to area venues.

Stuff to do this weekend
... said Lisa on Apr 18, 2013 at 10:58 AM | link
While the vast majority of this site is worth it in terms of distilling down news that is of interest, directly related to those of us living in the area, and often glossed over or not addressed in other sources, the reocurring piece that I have gained the most from is the list of "Shows coming up". Going out to see live music is one of my favorite things to do. What I miss most from my brief stint in Nashville is having great music be so easily accessible. It is easy to say that no one good comes to Albany or that the music scene here is weak. But a lot of that talk is from the fact that it is not always easy to find out about the upcoming shows. I know I don't have time to check every venue's pages on a regular basis. Having it all in one place makes it a breeze to plan my concert going experiences. Plus, I would have totally missed out on some of the best shows I have ever seen if I hadn't seen them advertised on AOA. Thanks for having my back!
... said Matthew on Apr 18, 2013 at 10:58 AM | link
Back in the day when I still cared about "dead tree media" the TU included what it called a "Life and Leisure" section. AOA is the best of that and more.
... said Chris on Apr 18, 2013 at 11:00 AM | link
Daniel B.'s food reviews and snippets: the most informative dining posts in the entire area. I've found some excellent eats in out of the way places that I would have never tried or found on my own.

Definitely the Stuff to do this Weekend. It's great having a listing of most if not all the weekend events.

"What's up in the neighborhood" is may favorite. Just when I think I've read everything that interests me for the moment, there's a whole new collection of great stuff! It's like finding money in your pocket or one last beer in a cooler you thought was empty.
... said Kerosena on Apr 18, 2013 at 11:11 AM | link
My favorite thing is when AOA reviews local restaurants...so I know where to eat next!
... said Nicole on Apr 18, 2013 at 11:12 AM | link
My favorite AOA thing - is how you put together "tours" - ice cream, donut... you make an event out something some people would consider commonplace. love it!
... said Nicole K on Apr 18, 2013 at 11:12 AM | link
Stuff to do this weekend - definitely.
I really like when AOA does a hyper-local focus. I feel like too much 'local' news focuses more on the burbs and outlying areas than Albany proper.
... said Jenna on Apr 18, 2013 at 11:13 AM | link
I enjoyed the Stewart's food selection reviews. If you live in this area, you have to appreciate Stewarts!! I also like the "stuff to do this weekend".

What's Up In The Neighborhood is always enlightening
... said Donna on Apr 18, 2013 at 11:35 AM | link
In terms of practicality and personal usefulness, I love Ask AOA and any of the "where to get _____" type posts. Where to cut a Christmas tree, where to pick fruits and veggies, etc. So nice to have such things collected for me rather than doing the shopping around myself.
... said Kizzi on Apr 18, 2013 at 11:37 AM | link
I love "Stuff to do this weekend" and I also love the "other side" type of news stories you guys do - finding out what the TU doesn't report on or deem interesting enough. I like that!

Hard to pick a single favorite, but I would have to say:
Morning Blend, bumper gawking, and what's up in the neighborhood.

Also have to love the Tournament of Pizza!
... said Heather on Apr 18, 2013 at 11:55 AM | link
My favorite weekly features are "Things to do this week/weekend" and "What's up in the Neighborhood".
My favorite stories are when you really take the time to interview and present multiple sides to a story that people are talking about. The St Joseph's and Sculpture in the Streets articles were phenomenal.

I like it when you take a reader question and ask the AOA community to respond, like where to find a good dentist or a reputable plumber. I seldom need the answer, but I know when I do, I'm going to come to the archives! Your collections of lists like where to skate, swim, and take a fall walk are much appreciated, too. As soon as I learn someone is new to the area, my number one recommendation is that they start paying attention to AOA (Sorry -S. I bet it IS getting harder to win...).

This Week/This Weekend posts!
It's really great to have a diverse list of various things happening any given week(end). It's easy to follow your interests, but harder to discover what else is going on that may be fun but new experiences to you.
For example.. I didn't realize Taste of Albany was coming up. I went 2 years ago with a ticket through a friend and it was awesome. Didn't realize when it was last year and was bummed to miss it. In the loop this year thanks to AOA!
... said Jeff D on Apr 18, 2013 at 1:32 PM | link
Impossible to pick just one (and no, that isn't idle flattery); AOA is a (multiple) daily stop in my web browsing.
If forced to make this impossible Sophie's Choice, however, I would point to the Morning Blend. I really appreciate the one-stop shopping of what's going on around the region -- it is a true public service.
... said Bob W. on Apr 18, 2013 at 1:33 PM | link

I was rivitted in 2011 by AOA's coverage of the occupy Albany movement. The video highlighted on AOA by creator Bhawin Suchak. http://vimeo.com/30989061 visually displayed what the early days of the movement were all about. Showing solidarity and how the collective can still make change in a dynamic digital world.

Definitely, "things to do this weekend." Keeps me informed about all the wonderful things happening in the area that I otherwise, most likely wouldn't know about.
