Delightful and Delicious

I never would have thought that my random stop into a small café in Stuyvesant Plaza would quickly turn into the best breakfast experience I have ever had.  Peaches Café is a quaint, delightful, very reasonably priced restaurant that could easily get lost in the huge circle of stores in the plaza, but it is definitely a must-go.  It has been around for 20 years and I can certainly understand why.

When I first walked in and witnessed the variety of foods, desserts and drinks, I did not know where to start.  I decided to splurge and go for the Lobster Eggs Benedict special which came with asparagus and home fries on the side, and was absolutely delicious. 

But Peaches does not stop at breakfast; the menu includes a variety of other dishes including burgers, wraps, sandwiches, soups, and cakes, just to name a few.  They also serve specialty coffees and teas, and have an entire dessert bar right when you walk in.  I topped off my meal with a Snickerdoodle flavored Coffee.

If you're looking for timely service, very reasonable prices, extreme variety and a cozy setting, I highly recommend Peaches Café. 

The Meat House Opens In Albany

I wanted to let you all know, Albany has a new neighborhood butcher shop! The Meat House, a national gourmet butcher shop and grocer, is now open at Stuyvesant Plaza in Albany. Co-owners Eric Jackson and Kevin Wickert believe they can become active members of the Albany community, as they have been in Clifton Park and Saratoga Springs.  

 “Expanding The Meat House brand in New York has provided us with a unique opportunity to support so many local organizations and vendors,” said The Meat House Albany Vice President Eric Jackson. “We look forward to extending our outreach to the Albany community and treating them to a superior customer experience.”

The Albany location is the third to open in New York and also features exotic meats such as alligator tail, wild boar, ostrich, buffalo and venison. The Meat House’s exceptional quality of all-natural meats includes legendary marinated steak tips and a variety of steaks and roasts hand-cut to order.

 “We provide our customers with a diverse line of the highest quality premium meats and grocery items,” said The Meat House Albany President Kevin Wickert. “We pride ourselves on being active supporters in the communities in which we operate and can’t wait to meet our Albany neighbors.”
