+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: civilization at its best, the new domesticity, negative pixie cut energy, Saratoga gifts, local currency, madrigals, a gala, Red Hook, kidneys, hash, dim sum, marzipan, Field Goods, Albany to Pennsylvania, seeds, a sunrise, a new arrival.

+ Q: Whoooo's that? A: A snow owl.

+ Among the items found on Craigslist this week: a tiny donkey.

+ We talked with Ethan Ullman about a surprise appearance on the Howard Stern show and the Capital Region comedy scene.
