A quick recap of the week

week review 2014-01-04

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

+ Sean asked about the best way to get from Albany to a NYC airport -- with a lot of luggage, and a small child.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: New Year's Eve, reflections on the past year and the year to come, the manner in which the inhabitants celebrated, facing the slope, Sawteeth, Schoharie Creek Preserve, a "generous subsidy," mini hotdogs, figgy pudding, Panza's, sushi, ghost signs, the biggest applause, hygge, and the Grinch report.

+ Lauren was back with another step in planning her wedding with George: picking a caterer.

+ Once again we gawked at Kiernan Plaza.

+ Competitive layering, because the cold.

And don't miss our end-of-2013 stuff -- there were a lot of interesting bits shared by a lot of people:

+ Favorite local foods 2013

+ Interesting stories to cover 2013

+ Favorite shows of 2013

+ The most popular items on AOA in 2013

Here's the whole week all lined up.

Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea or photo this week!
