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

+ Daniel and the Best Dozen made a stop at the Schuyler Bakery.

+ Sean asked about finding a good graphic designer.

+ We gave away tickets to see Demetri Martin at The Egg + a City Beer Hall gift certificate by asking people to tell a joke. There were a lot of *terrible* joke. But we laughed. A lot.

+ Deanna tried the tortas at El Mariachi.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: cars changing people, turning toward joy, choosing to react badly, compromising, a checkered storyline, $1 oysters, Peck's Arcade, The Shop, pasta at a Thai place, 500 words, Treviso, searching for challah, making applejack, gluten-free food, Cohoes Falls, and the blues.

+ Matt asked for advice about fixing lath-and-plaster walls.

+ Five big things from Andrew Cuomo's combined State of the State/state budget powerpointpalooza.

+ Sheldon Silver was arrested. Here's what the feds are alleging he did.

+ And Lauren talked with the creator of the upcoming Love Story Masquerade.

Here's the whole week all lined up.

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