basil). Greek salad - mostly yum (iceberg lettuce, not well
integrated).
Java++ = 10. Double espresso - yum (no complaints). Nice comfy chairs & AC.
Plum Blossom (Chinese) = 9. Kung Pou tofu -yum! Spring rolls - yum!
Atmosphere - nice - calla lillies in large vases, various Asian buddas
and artifacts.
Friendly's = 1. If that. Service, food, selection = all bad. Don't go there.
Mostaciello's (Italian) - on the edge of town or even in East
Greenbush = 8. Linguine with white clam sauce - yum. Homemade soup -
yum. Salad - yum. Fresh bread & real butter - yum. Too much food I'm
sure. This restaurant we found on Sunday night thru Urban Spoon on my
iPhone. Our destination was El Porto - closed Sunday night apparently.
The Candy Shop (in Saratoga Springs) = 8.5 . A good old-fashioned
candy store, as good as Bruce's Candy Kitchen in Cannon Beach, OR. Our
favorites : dot candy (a good deal I am told - $2.50 for a largish
bag), cordials (raspberry - yum, tiramisu - mostly yum), fudge - ok
but did not melt in our mouth.
Lemonade stand (in Saratoga Raceway Park) = 9. One real lemon combined
with mucho ice and water with sugar. Delightful with a New York
pretzel, salted. Especially delightful when the sun has come full out
after a rain shower. It will revive you.
Old Judge Mansion B&B = 8. Good hash browns and meat. Great selection
of bagels. Wonderful community activist hostess Tina who has lived in
Troy her entire life and is taking back the neighborhood, without any
assistance from Shirley Ann Jackson (university president of RPI),
thank you very much. Not much to offer vegans but worth it in any
case.
