One
of the special times of the year living in the Capital Region is Fall.
Sure, there's a few hundred bags of wet leaves, but this is the time of
year to sample a food that New York State ought to be marketing to the
world...Cider Donuts
The headline here is misleading. There is nothing
like Golden Harvest Farms when it comes to donuts and their assortment
of farm fresh baked goods. There is no competitor that tickles
the palette like their cider donuts. And there is nothing like driving
south along route 9 to get to their roadside store in Valatie. The
anticipation heightens the sensations!. My sources tell me that whenever
Brooklyn-born United States Senator Chuck Schumer visits Columbia
County, he always makes time to go to Golden Harvest for cider donuts!
Well, today we found a close second place. It wasn't
in rural towns like Greenwich, or Greenville, but in one of my favorite
destinations, downtown Schenectady. The cider donuts we had from Villa
Italia are like they came right from farmstand! I stopped for
Biscotti, Cannoli and Pizelles, but was too intrigued to not get the
Cider Donuts. My recommendation....
If you haven't been to Villa Italia (Broadway in Schenectady) or to Golden Harvest Farms (Valatie) you never had pastries.
