My girlfriend and I…read morebecame friendly with Zach and his wife (I'm sorry I forgot her name :)) and they treated us to quite an experience. I wish I had taken more photos but the dips were out of this world - roasted carrot purée one in particular, and the beet dip was amazing too. Then Zach (Zack?) made these lamb skewers and halloumi skewers. The lamb was honestly like the lamb at Miznon it was so good. The cheese on the board, in addition to the Halloumi skewers, was also unreal. He made us something else special too but I can recall. All you have to know is it was gluten free, low carb, and bomb. Definitely looking into Oak & Honey catering that I myself hold in the future. Awesome experience. Shoutout !!!

We are both gluten free and randomly started chatting up the two in the kitchen.

The way they lay out the food is absolutely gorgeous and the hummus and dips are to die for. 10/10 would hire for all parties if I was rich

We found Chef Deanna through Instagram and were intrigued. I sent her a quick note, and next thing…read moreyou know, we're on a phone call for over an hour that felt like 10 minutes. We asked Deanna to cater our 115 person, mountain top wedding with as much fire-prepared food as possible. Think Francis Mallmann (google him if you arent familiar). No running water. No electricity. She was game. She was more than game. She came ready to rumble and was cooking on the fire pit from morning until late night. Deanna is warm, talented, energetic, charming, and generous. She made amazing, locally sourced, fresh food our guests are still raving about. She has real relationships with farmers and producers in the area - her local connections are priceless. Her whole team never broke their professionalism and wowed us with their service and hospitality. She helped our moms serve apple pies instead of wedding cake. She sprinkled flowers all over the buffet tables. She shared with us all her beautiful old plates. She surprised us with a late night round of sloppy joes. She let us borrow all the props and baskets and water jugs for our whole wedding weekend, even for events that she wasn't specifically there for. I could go on and on. Book with Deanna, she is a true unicorn of the catering world.

We postponed two times, and Chef Deanna was incredibly accommodating throughout it all. In fact -- she supported our decision to postpone (even the second time!) when so many people questioned why we were doing it. Postponing twice was absolutely the right decision, and we had our dream wedding on 4/9/22 of this year. Chef Deanna worked with us to create a menu that was rustic and aligned with our tastes/personalities. We did a barbecue buffet for the main course -- with macaroni and cheese, multiple types of meat, cornbread, etc. -- and a more classic cocktail hour with charcuterie/cheese etc. Everything was delicious. My only regret is that I didn't go up for seconds! In ADDITION to that, Chef Deanna provided her gorgeous vintage plates that were a perfect fit with our venue. This really helped make our planning easier, and added to the beauty of the tables on the day. Everything went seamlessly -- We could not have been happier with Chef Deanna's catering!

My first trip from Albany to JFK a year ago was great. But…read morelast night from JFK to Albany was not that good. I was supposed to be picked up around 6 pm but driver called and said she was ready to pick up around 4. It was good except I had no time to get water or food, and barely managed to change my SIM card to talk to the driver. (Why don't they use WhatsApp which would make it easier for travelers coming from other countries?) It was very hard to find the car. Driver just said "a very big black car" at the passenger pick up. Well, there are ziklinins big black cars at JFK, and very many pick up spots. After several calls (in a very loud and busy outside environment), she finally said lane D. It's a long lane. After I ran back and forth with 2 suitcases (I am 66 and have limited vision in the dark), she said D3. Even that place had several pick up spots. Finally we left JFK close to 6 pm. There were 5 passengers, one of whom spoke very loudly throughout the ride, discussed political issues with the young student from Serbia, shared her opinions etc. I was very uncomfortable. And loud. I did my best to keep my mouth shut, as did the other two women in the van. There was no water, snacks or scheduled toilet breaks. No announcements of seat belts, bathroom breaks etc. There was a small accident (not our driver's fault and no injuries) which caused another delay, and a subsequent loooong and looooud discussion by that same very talkative woman and the young man. By then I was getting a bad headache (hunger, dehydration, jet lag, and all this noise including the driver playing the radio. She never asked if it bothered anybody. After Kingston I moved to the back of the van hoping to get away from the loud passenger and the radio but music was even louder in the back! Also the ride was very loud and bumpy there as well. When we finally stopped at the Albany airport I had another anxious moment because I did not see my backpack with all the luggage. Turned out that the you gman from Serbia grabbed it and placed it on the sidewalk. He meant well, tried to help, but imo, it was the driver:s responsibility to safeguard all the luggage. I will use this service again since there are very few choices to get to JFK, and I do travel a lot, but I wish the company takes notice of these issues and improves drivers' training.

Sean's hands move quickly and adeptly as he blends tricks with stories -- trick after trick, story after story, and insight after insight. Sean captures your imagination, challenges your thinking, and makes your heart leap with child-like fascination. He presents you with a surprise at every flick of a card or wave of a hand. This was a priceless experience that will stay with you long after you leave Sean's cozy parlor of magic!

They don't have a sign outside, but Christine was sitting on the porch waiting for guests and waved at us as we were driving by, so we knew we were in the right place. She has a special knack for identifying who is looking for the show based solely on how slow they are driving! We arrived early and it was a lovely day, so Christine invited us to sit on their porch. We chatted a bit and she shared some recommendations about other things to do in the area. Sean came outside and did a card trick for us while we waited. Once the other guests arrived, we were led into their library for the show. It was truly intimate. The audience included only six people. We were seated in comfy leather upholstered chairs and surrounded by floor to ceiling shelves filled with books and knick knacks. Sean is a former trial lawyer and pivoted his career at the age of 47 to become a magician. He told us parts of his life story throughout the show, making it feel very personal and poignant. He did a variety of tricks, with rope, cards, distraction, and sleight of hand. There was a lot of audience participation, with almost every trick involving one or more members of the group. We also stood a few times so that we could all participate together. Sean is a master of his craft and many of the tricks were truly awe inspiring. The show was fun, engaging, and heart warming. He performs at several venues throughout the area, but I recommend the home show because it's designed for adults. Even if you don't typically like magic shows, this one is not to be missed and you'll leave feeling inspired and intrigued by the art form.
