A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ We gave away tickets to ASAP's annual Festival of Meats by asking: What are your favorite Capital Region guilty pleasures?
+ The official word arrived that All Good Bakers has closed.
+ Jeff recommended the apple pie from Green Acres Farm in Columbia County: "very individual element -- the crust, the fruit, the filling -- is worth raving about."
+ Phantogram has a new EP, they're playing here in December, and they were scheduled to appear on Jimmy Fallon Friday night.
+ We gave away a big bag of prizes from Honest Weight's Local Harvest Festival by asking: What's your favorite local thing to share with people who are not from the Capital Region?
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: Ragnar, love and hate, suggestions, a Troy neighborhood, gorgeous days, the Adirondacks, monarchs, chicken parm, Round Lake, sandwiches, apples, Wegmans, an outgoing person, a waterwheel, faster than a walk, an hour's difference, the solar system.
+ Allison asked for local suggestions for a 1920s-themed wedding.
+ A weird moment from Troy: a giant potato.
+ Among the items found on Craigslist this week: a carousel goat.
+ Troy unveiled a new crime map -- and we had a few thoughts about it.
And that most august tradition -- The Tournament of Pizza -- made its return:
+ The brackets for this year's tournament, including an all-new-to-the-TOP first round.
+ The judges for this year.
+ TOP2013: Round 1: Schenectady
Here's the whole week all lined up.
