Fun in Saratoga

Check out my Virgin Alexander review on The Saratoga Life

I was able to go to last night's Virgin Alexander screening at the Spectrum Theater in Albany which was organized by the All over Albany blog.  I wrote a review on The Saratoga Life, which can be currently accessed of of its front page. When I thought I couldn't make the screening, I asked one of my readers who was attending to post a review on here - I would still like to post that here (are you reading this Tim?) so check back on here for that review as well. 

Interesting blog post

Here is an interesting blog post - a blogger for the "Shelly Palmer Digital Living" wrote an entry about Saratoga Race Course's pricing system and how it could relate to other businesses.  Here is part of what he wrote: 

Compare these prices with whatever you’re paying at your nearest live-entertainment venue.

• Parking: Free
• Entry: $3
• Have a picnic and a party: Free
  • Bring your own food, beer, water, and soda.
  • Bring your own chair.
  • Use our picnic tables.
  • Watch our TVs.
  • All in a beautiful setting.

Of course, you can pay more, a lot more. But you don’t have to.

Well, I found it interesting so I am posting it here.

Is anyone going to the Virgin Alexander screening in Albany?

And if so, would you like to write a review on here.  I have been writing so much about this film that I would feel foolish if I didn't include a review on here, but I may not be able to make it.  If one of my readers is going to Albany to screen it Wednesday night please let me know and perhaps you can help me out by writing a review.  Thanks!

 

Lots of Saratoga Restaurant news over at the Table Hopping blog

Steve Barnes sure has been busy lately with his news about the Saratoga Restaurant scene over at the Times Union's Table Hopping blog.  Here are a few recent posts:

Barbecue Gorgonzola burger wins Prime-Saratoga battle.

Wine Tasting Musical to be performed in Saratoga.

Mazzone takes over Fasig-Tipton restaurant.

New menu at the Saratoga Wine Bar.

NY Wines benefit returning to track.

Check out Capriccio Saratoga's menu

The Table Hopping Blog has the post here on Capriccio Saratoga's menu.  I've eaten there twice and I think it's fantastic - so good that you're savoring the food days later. 

Homer Simpson's review of Big Apple Pizza

If you want to know what I think of Big Apple Pizza, the new place in the former Hot Dog Charlie's on Caroline Street, I'll let Homer Simpson be my spokesman.  Just replace the word "team" with "pizza" and you'll get an accurate description in the video below.

Any questions?  And this post wouldn't be complete if I didn't give D'Andrea's an apology for cheating on them in my late night binge eating.  "Dear D'Andrea's - I complain about your sweet crust, but when I'm drinking beer I crave it.  I am sorry I tried your new (and higher priced) competition, but rest assured, it was tasteless and awful and I won't abandon you again (unless of course I'm in the mood for a doughboy).  Sincerely, Funsaratoga Dan."
