From rich fudge brownies and sugary cookies to creamy cheesecake and other sweet treats, The Cookie Factory is a favorite in our house! Grace-cake.jpg That's where we get our birthday cakes, fresh breads and afternoon sweet tooth fixes.

Now, according to a recent article in the TU, The Cookie Factory hopes to expand their reach with a new (much bigger) location planned just a few minutes away.
Johny's Diner is now open at 66 Central Ave. in Albany, and has one simple motto: "Real food, simply good."

Chef and co-owner, Michael Ward, has a great farm-to-table philosophy, where he gets his ingredients at farmers markets and brings it right to the kitchen. The menu includes breakfast favorites, sandwiches, fried food, five different kinds of hot dogs, waffles, and burgers. 
Madison Avenue gained a new dinner destination this week: Albany's own version of Shogun Sushi and Sake Bar.

A group of us tried Pizza Wars last night. We arrived at the Holiday Inn on Wolf Road a little before 5 and were expecting great things. Great things, however were not expecting us. The night was more than a little disappointing.
