Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:

+ Back by Jason request: a new map quiz.

+ Jeff overcame tapas skepticism at Boca Bistro.

+ Emily asked about finding a company to remove asbestos from her house.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: beautiful autumn scenes, marathons, goals, getting needled, the pediatrician, a polar panorama, don't drink the water, pumpkin beers, Concord grapes, the Euro Deli, almost everything, The Wine Bar, a vineyard, girding your loins, Bonefish, Minnewaska State Park, identifying plants, the oil can tomb, and a mummy.

+ How to use Capital Region news websites to, you know, read the local news.

+ Andrea asked about where to get bubble tea.

+ We talked with the author of Monsters of New York about the Kinderhook Creature and other things that (maybe) go bump in the New York night.

And the last week of the 2013 Tournament of Pizza:

+ TOP2013: The Semifinals

+ TOP2013: Crunching the numbers

+ TOP2013: The Final

Congrats to all the finalists!

Here's the whole week all lined up.
