While my wife was shopping in Athleta, I was lured by the Cookie Sampling in progress sign, and…read morefell in love with this family owned store. Many of the items are from local NY businesses, or from higher end brands. They had whole vanilla beans, cutting board oil and wax, chocolates, cookies, a Le Creuset section, and a very affordable knife section, as well as any kitchen gadget or spice anyone needs in a pinch. This is going to be my go to kitchen supply store since they have a great taste, and I would much rather support a local family owned business than Amazon.

Brunch in Albany was a new experience for me. I decided to try this spot out and was pleasantly…read moresurprised. The atmosphere is very modern, with all the bells and whistles. The color scheme is amazing, and the service is second to none. They move efficiently throughout the restaurant; they don't have just one person assigned to each table but use a group approach, and you can order at the table with the app, which is cool. Bartender Benny was great! The food, I'll say, was fair. I do believe the prices don't fully reflect the quality, but the overall feel is great. The champagne machine is a great touch, so that was unique. This is a very upscale brunch, but it's worth the hype for the decor. Parking is not the easiest, but it's worth it.

At the end, they added a 20% tip to my bill, even after I left a cash tip. I called asking to speak to the manager, and they hung up on me three times. I left one message but received no reply. In the end, Amanda refunded my money. However, we'll never go back to that place that made us feel so unwelcome and taken advantage of.

We were in town here grabbing some dinner with my nephew who is a student at RPI. It's been forever…read moresince I've been at a mall, but there was plenty of parking despite the rainy weather, and we got into here quickly for a table for dinner. Their dessert case right in front of the entrance was taunting me.... We were seated and greeted by Sang Jun, who was fantastic. It turns out that we are all Korean, we figured that out at the end of the meal but he was amazing as a server. Never needed to ask for anything, made several recommendations, and we had a really great meal and evening. The menu is giant! Come hungry for sure! I started out with a margarita flight, which was not only beautiful, but delicious. We started out with the ahi tuna nachos, which was delicious and beautiful. Scallions, tuna, fried wonton skins as chips, jalapeños and sauce that made it all worth every calorie. I ignored the jalapeños, but still inhaled the tuna and everything else. Crowd pleaser for sure. My nephew got the salmon special, served with sweet potatoes. I ordered the bang bang shrimp and chicken that came with lo mein. The sauce was a Thai curry base and has veggies and was literally inhale-able. I ate the proteins (cooked perfectly) and some of the noodles, then ended up eating the leftover noodles the next morning. Still just as good cold out of the fridge! My brother got the ramen. They were out of the pork (or it was off the menu) so he went with the beef. That looked so good, bowl was filled to brim with noodles, garnishes, and beef. It was perfect since he wasn't feeling well. My nephew decided halfway thru his salmon dish he wanted a side Caesar salad and Sang Jun brought one tha looked like it was made for the Internet. Well plated and giant portion. We were absolutely stuffed so we had no room for desserts, even though they looked so good in the cooler walking in. We had a nice discussion with SJ about our family trip to Korea last summer, telling him about some of the most embarrassing moments and getting a good laugh. I guess this is a chain, but I hope that I see one again. I'll be ready to have the same exact thing, or try something new- I'm sure it will be amazing. Thanks to the team and Sang Jun for a memorable meal here in Albany!

The bartender, Holly, hit out of the park. So friendly. Nailed the suggestions. She is Fan-freaking-tastic. We all purchased bottles of the Helderberg vodka and Bourbon Maple liqueur.
