I’d Tap That…

When most people think of maple syrup, they think of Canadian accents and expensive maple leaf shaped bottles in the grocery store. When I think of maple syrup I think of my father, beer in hand, cursing, standing over a large pot of boiling sap. . . in Westchester, Ny.

Blessing of the Animals

“The Blessing of the Animals has been a part of Olvera Street since its founding in 1930, but its practice dates back to the 4th century, when San Antonio De Abad was named the patron saint of the animal kingdom and began to bless animals to promote good health.

8th ave (sunset park)

8th ave is the single largest population and commercial hub of Chinese Americans in Brooklyn. In 1986, the first Chinese grocery store opened on 8th and 56th st, and soon after, other vendors like grocers, restaurants, and various businesses began to pop up all along 8th Ave.

A New York Cannoli Tour

I won’t say cannoli accessibility was the reason I moved back, but it also can’t be ruled out.

The Year of Discovery, One Dish At A Time

The year 2020 kept getting stranger. From severe knee pain to unexplained numbness and tingling in my arms, then to passing out unexpectedly. It felt like there was a fire inside of my body. Every doctor I saw told me my symptoms were “all in my head”.

The Uppers and Downers of a Québecois Winter

I won’t get into why I migrated north for the winter, just know it wasn’t for my career, nor a relationship, and it certainly wasn’t for the weather.

Apples to Apples

What more is there really to say about the apple? That humble orb, shiny and ubiquitous -- 24/7, 365 at your local bodega, big box supermarket, fanciest of food emporia, farmer’s market, gas station.

Mangia & Manifest

From the trance of twirling saucy spaghetti to the satisfaction of the first bite, the act of eating and enjoying pasta is a transcendental experience.

Rolf's Pork Store

Germans were everywhere in Albany. There were German bakeries, saloons, churches, markets, and farms growing cabbages. German language newspapers, German singing societies and social clubs, and even a German gun club. All of that is gone now, forgotten or Anglicized. But one piece of old German-Albany lives.

Allans Coffee Brandy

You, realistically, should also have some Allen's in hand for reading about this. But that may be hard to come by so far from the great pine tree state. What's brewed in Massachusetts but essentially all sent to Maine? Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy.
