You are presumed to be a criminal and are treating accordingly at check-out…read more I brought my disabled patient to the orchard for a safe, therapeutic outing, but he was left traumatized by the excessive post-picking interrogation, intense vehicle search, and authoritarian bullying by their plainclothes security. As I was held at check-out inside the building, an unnamed woman with no identification confronted me in an accusatory manner demanding to know what else we had picked. I told her everything we picked was on the counter. She asked what was in my car. I told her my patient, his rollator, and his mobility scooter. Not much else fits in a little KIA. She left me inside the building at the register and went out to my car. With no explanation to my startled patient, she began rooting through my car. He was alone and felt defenseless in a frightening situation. I don't know if I'll ever be able to get him to leave his house again for an outing like this. He is traumatized. Columbia County NY has many PYO options that are more friendly and less terrifying than this horrible place.

Red meat isn't a regular part of my diet but I found the hamburger of my dreams at Del's Roadside…read morein Kinderhook. I've been there before and I've enjoyed their meals. I think the menu has expanded. There were salads that I could have ordered but when I read the description of their Rodeo Burger, I just had to have one: local beef with huge onion rings. provolone cheese, BBQ sauce and thick Applewood smoked bacon strips on a brioche bun. Wow. It was divine. It cost about $13 which might be a little steep for most burgers but this one was far from ordinary. The same goes for their boozy milk shakes which run about $10. I picked the "Top of the Mornin' ," which consisted of Colombian Coffee Ice Cream, Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, Irish Cream, iced coffee, whipped cream and fudge. That was every bit as amazing as the burger. However, I only drank half of my shake and gave the rest to my friend because I had to make sure I could drive home. We were both fine. Service was very good. I think it only took about 10-15 minutes to fill our orders. That's pretty remarkable when you see what's involved. It's a family-run operation and everyone there is nice including the young woman who took our order. The farm themed restaurant was very busy when we stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. It was too late for lunch and too early for dinner but plenty of customers were apparently in sync with our schedule. There've been some upgrades to the decor since I last visited a few years ago. It seems they've added a fireplace at one end of the restaurant and a large farm themed play area for kids on the opposite end. There's even a taproom. It's a clean, cozy, family-friendly eatery that serves up farm fresh food. I didn't realize that Del's has another location in Rhinebeck and a family dairy farm in Red Hook. Perhaps my roadtrips will take me there someday.

How much did you pay the last time you had a one scoop ice cream cone? I bet the odds are pretty…read moregood you may have paid triple what I paid yesterday. Because yesterday, I paid (brace yourself) a buck and a half for a one-scoop cone of pistachio gelato. Yup, I really did. Scoop 518 is the quintessential small town ice cream shop. You'll find it located on the picture perfect Main Street of Chatham, NY. It has a very cool eclectic interior with pink trim, black and white mosaic floor tiles, giant circus posters, and I kid you not... a giraffe neck and head sticking out of the upper cabinets behind the counter. They offered 16 flavors, a lot of the first generation basics (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, coffee, black raspberry, butter pecan, maple walnut, mint chocolate chip), some of the second generation of flavors (cookie dough, cookies and cream, salted caramel, peanut butter fudge), plus a sherbert, 2 sorbets and a gelato for those looking to save some calories. Actually, I paid 2 bucks for my cone because I added chocolate sprinkles for fifty cents. I'm used to having cones rolled around in a bowl of sprinkles for the maximum density of sprinkle application. But that wasn't the case here. She put the sprinkles into a plastic quarter cup container and carefully sprinkled the sprinkles onto and around the ice cream. It didn't work very well and when was the last time you felt ripped off for paying an extra fifty cents? Anyway, 2 bucks for a cone with a smattering of sprinkles is still a fantastic bargain. By the way, the pistachio gelato was delicious.

I know what you're saying... "Stewarts? Seriously?"…read more Yup. This particular store will forever hold a place near and dear to my heart. I lived in Valatie for two years while working nearby on Route 20. This store, by far, was the cleanest and best maintained location of them all. I held all other (and still do) convenience stores up against it. The staff always helpful and the place was CLEAN. So my 5-star rating is for this specific store. Were there others that were close? Yep. Stewarts in East Greenbush on route 20, smallest store I visited, but well run and clean and the Stewarts in Chatham. Stewarts as an organization... Top Notch. I got to know several employees at the different stores and was amazed at the benefits package that this regional chain offered its employees. For someone starting out, its a great place to learn some good old fashioned business values. So a BIG LOUD SHOUT OUT to LANCE! Dude you ran a tight ship. You knew it wasn't about being popular, but doing what needed to be done and getting it done. Back in CT folks here don't know what a Stewarts is. Wish I could still stop in for my hot cup of tea and the grab-n-go peanut butter roll.

The walls are painted pink with a few historic pics and classic décor and the linoleum floors are black & white checker pattern, The tables have graphics of historic Coxsackie and metal chairs with cushions. They feature Jane's Ice Cream & sorbet offering around 30 flavors including the whole milk and vegan flavors. Waffle cones, bowls, sundaes, banana splits, shakes, Belgian waffles, coffee, hot chocolate (scratch), cider, and ice cream sammies. They also sell ice cream pints from the freezer. I stopped by Coxsackie Creamery after having brunch nearby. I wanted something to enjoy for dessert and to bring back to the house. Since I am a fan of homemade cookie ice cream sandwiches, I decided to get 4 Ice Cream Sammies ($4.86 each) to go. This was the owner's first go of introducing ice cream sammies. The owner took a while to get things ready and I was able to choose any ice cream I wanted between two chocolate chunk cookies (not vegan), got the vegan ice cream and got 3 pistachio and 1 killer chocolate. The sammies were plastic wrapped and boxed to go. The sammies had thin homemade cookies and the layer of ice cream was ¼ inch thick. I enjoyed two sammies in the vehicle before rushing home in the cold to freeze the other two sammies. The sammies were very, very sweet including the very chewy cookies (not vegan) and vegan ice cream, which melts quicker than regular hardicecream. This is just what I needed for dessert. I would definitely stop by here again for a Belgian waffle topped with ice cream & fruit.
