A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ The AOA Startup Grant is back! We're giving away $1,500 to a promising idea. You should apply.
+ We got a look inside the (almost finished) Albany Barn artists live/work building.
+ Jeff says: beer made with vanilla beans + short ribs = comfort food
+ New to the area, Brian asked about good ways to meet people and find activities.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: the spare beauty of winter, thrift, good drivers, Mt. Colden, Market Bistro, red sauce, Nine Pin, 90 State, goat cheese and thyme cheesecake, sushi, tapas, smoked meat, dehydrated oranges, Paint & Sip, the Fagbug, The Joke, and equine tableware.
+ We heard about some of the early planning for high-speed rail in New York.
+ T asked about finding a place for an affordable post-wedding group meal.
+ Lauren checked out Plum Dandy Cookies and Milk.
+ That time people rode sleighs across the frozen Hudson River at Albany.
+ It looks like the Quintessence building is headed to the great lunch counter in the sky.
+ Ice cream stand season has started.
+ And concert announcements: Sarah McLachlan at SPAC, Rodrigo y Gabriela at The Egg -- and Modest Mouse at Brewery Ommegang, which apparently sold out in, like, 10 minutes.
Here's the whole week all lined up.
Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea or photo this week!
