I'm always on the hunt to find new grocery stores. I was glad when I came across this place. I was…read morepassing by, and knew I needed to stop in. When I walked in I was pleasantly surprised. This place was very open, had an assortment of cheeses, breads, produce, grocery items, and more. I walked around the store, and I found a lot of specialty products that I've only found in some of the grocery stores around here. They have organic items and other items that aren't typically carried. When I checked out, I wanted to sign up for a frequent shopper card, but the cashier informed me that you need to spend $100 in order to sign up for a card, which I thought was strange. I might be back, but I am surprised they have a minimum you need to spend in order to get a store card.

I shopped there for a High Tea Party I am hosting (I want each of my guests to leave with a sweet treat). While I was there, I overheard another customer say "Every time I come in I am surprised with a new chocolate. It is so much fun to come and explore!" Another customer came in to get a cup of coffee and a chocolate as a treat to herself. As I was paying, I decided to treat myself to a chocolate that never made it home!

Super cute and atmospheric little shop of sweets. A joy to peruse and spend some time in. From…read morechocolate creations to tea cups and cutlery to cute house decor, you can find thoughtful and unique gifts for everyone on your list. Tried two dark hot chocolates. The regular dark hot chocolate was simple and sweet. The pistachio dark hot chocolate had whipped cream and crushed pistachios on top. Besides that, there was no other pistachio flavor, which was disappointing and defeated the purpose of getting a seasonal specialty drink such as pistachio hot chocolate. The hot chocolates were more on the liquidy side, and I would've preferred for them to be thicker and to have a more pronounced flavor of chocolate. A bit too sweet for my liking, especially considering that we got dark chocolate. You'll be satisfied and done after a few sips due to how sugary this drink is. Staff are very friendly and helpful. No restroom.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't drive 45 minutes to Nyack specifically to visit this cheese shop…read morebecause of a video I saw on social media, but I absolutely did & it was a great decision. Scott & Joe is coined "the gayest cheese shop in America" & while I haven't surveyed all of the other cheese shops in America, I agree. It's a quaint little shop tucked amongst other small shops on Broadway. Scott is behind the fully stocked cheese case serving & SERVING with a smile. He was patient while we perused the case & asked questions. We sampled some cheeses to figure out what we like & what we didn't & ended up leaving with some yummy treats. Scott & Joe also have a little bit of a marketplace with delicious options of cured meats, crackers, jams, jellies, mustards & the like: perfect for any dinner party or snack plate. In my opinion, the best part is a not so secret little bistro section in the back where you can have a seat & be served some of the most delicious sandwiches, salads, & cheeseboards in the Hudson Valley. I got the Ciao Bella this time around, but it was hard to choose because I wanted them all! Everything was so fresh & delicious - I can't wait to return! Scott & Joe also hold various events regularly, so I recommend following them on Instagram to stay in the loop.

Our most recent visit…read morewas on a bitterly cold day, but their "warm falafel bowl" drove the chills out and warmed us from head to toe :-). There are 7 sauces with enticing names to choose from - 2 come with the order, and from the 3rd on is extra charge. We tried their "smoky nightshade" (roasted eggplant and pepper), "sweet cardamom" and "spicy cilantro" - very impressive, certainly added great flavor to all the ingredients. Our attentive waiter kept checking on us too see if we needed anything else. It's a small and cozy eatery, with artful decorations and antique looking yet comfortable furniture. When I first visited this spot two years ago, I took photos of their interior to send to a friend in Canada, who was preparing to open a small restaurant. She was very much inspired!

The dishes that this team puts together in that kitchen are absolutely magical and filled with flavor. I discovered them a few years ago when I had a craving for fresh homemade pasta. The pasta is made fresh daily and also sold by the pound for take home meals. I don't get the pleasure of dining in often because it's always packed when I visit but this time there was a lonely table waiting for me. The restaurant is small and intimate. Casual but perfect for a date night or solo dining. In the summertime they have picnic tables outside to dine at as well. The focaccia bread is made in house daily and is served warm with a drizzle of good olive oil and flakey salt. Don't ever skip out on the bread!! The cucumber salad was inspiring. The cucumbers were served on a bed of hazelnut fava bean hummus??? Excuse me? My mouth is still watering from looking at the photos. It was so fresh and tangy. The pasta dish was warm, filling and cozy. It settled in all the right places and makes you feel warm and fuzzy. The chocolate chip cookies are also a must!! I'm not sure if they use cake flour or something because the cookies are crunchy on the edges but think and chewy once warmed up. They are not skimping on the chocolate inside either! Overall my meal was perfect, I cannot wait to dine here again to taste the love and magic that goes into each dish. PS- the menu is mostly seasonal so try what you can before the menu changes!

This small and incredible pasta shop serves up delicious home made and hand made pasta dishes that rotate seasonally from their simple yet powerful menu. When you eat a bowl of pasta at DPNB you eat a bowl of love. Not only do they make everything themselves but they also source locally from local farmers and support so many other great local businesses. I love this pasta shop so much and can't wait to be back in Nyack to enjoy another one of their incredible pasta dishes. Be sure to try their piccolo negroni (absolutely incredible!) or if you're feeling something more light go for the not a spritz, you will not regret hehe. First come first serve, no reservations, 14 quaint seats, come with a small group or just on a date :)

Since hubs' long-time friend and his wife didn't include details of a Wedding registry in their…read moreinvitation, we knew off the bat that we didn't want to go to the reception empty-handed with just the money envelope. A mundane vase was out of the question. So were thoughtless gift cards to those home stores such as BB&B. Instead, we decided to: (1) go off the grid, (2) be more creative and (3) choose a gift that's personal- but represents something for the new married couple and their home. Calling first before coming here was a breeze especially when Dean asked if I was looking for a Spiritual or 'Happy' Buddha then reassured me they have a varied selection. Taking a last-minute trip here, was a must the day before our friends' Saturday wedding. Located at the Palisades Mall (by Macy's) in Nyack, Glowing Candle greets you with different Buddhas, Crystals, Quartz, Fairy statues, etc. They were known primarily for their candles, but somehow shifted to offering Spiritual items for the mind, body and Soul. With so many different Buddhas that have a different message depending on the posture and mudras (hand gestures), we had a specific type in mind. We chose the Dhyana mudra with both of Buddha's palms almost overlapping and resting upward on the lap made out of volcanic ash. Service from Dean was incredible and took the time to clarify a few things about his products. Plus, he boxed our gift and filled in the gaps with tissue paper. I may not be so keen on gallivanting at the Palisades Mall- but coming to this shop, getting what I want and heading back out, wouldn't be a problem.

So where should I start?! My first steps into the store were breathtaking. It's like a little…read moremuseum, so many beautiful pieces and artifacts to see, observe and learn about. Me being new to the world of crystals and precious stones I was amazed with the vast amount of pieces to choose from. Along side of the many options, the knowledge and information that the entire staff was able to share and help educate me was far beyond what I expected to walk out of the store with, I believe the associates names were Tara and Dean but they literally walked me through any and every questions I had and I really felt they just took their time to each understand me and that was actually really refreshing and unexpected service and an over all topping to a unique experience in a unique store. i say all of that to say all of this. I couldn't express greater appreciation for my unexpected visit to Glowing Candle and look forward to my next and future visits to come!
