A quick recap of the week

week review 2015-02-06

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

+ Daniel checked out the distinctive donuts at Nibble in Troy for the Best Dozen.

+ Yep, it snowed. But compared to the five snowiest days on record for Albany, it was nothing.

+ Deanna detailed the eclairs at Sovrana's in Albany -- and something called "Death in a Cup."

+ Kara asked about where to donate used furniture.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: criticism, Chowderfest, beer and food, influences and inspirations, a deep-fried burger, tea and chocolate, pickled eggs, the odd duck of grief, sharing experiences, honest snowstorm forecasts, followed tracks, ironic placement, knitting, and red.

+ With is so cold and snowy, Deanna asked a bunch of people what they were cooking to keep warm.

+ Lauren checked out the new Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Menands -- and whether it would be weird for an adult, without kids, to bounce around there.

+ Cheryl asked about finding good Puerto Rican food, and we could still use some suggestions on this one.

+ We checked out a new baseball exhibit at the Albany Institute -- it includes some fun old photos and items.

+ Stephen and Harriet Myers have one of the most remarkable stories in Capital Region history.

+ And Albany released the list of intersections slated for red light cameras.

Here's the whole week all lined up.

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

The Scoop

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.
