Finally. Jen and I have discovered a good Mexican place in Saratoga Springs. Leon’s Mexican Restaurant on Crescent Street knows good food.

Lobster-crab corn chowder. Actual chunks of lobster, not the kind from a can or even processed. One dollar per half-cup. All you can eat. Jen and I shared three of Brindisi’s winning chowder at our first Saratoga Chowderfest on Saturday. The restaurant that was the buzz of downtown was not officially announced the winner (so […]

Washington Post: “NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue promised a change in league policies Monday to avoid a repeat of a controversial halftime Super Bowl performance that included entertainer Justin Timberlake tearing a piece off Janet Jackson’s black leather bustier, exposing her right breast to a worldwide television audience estimated to include over 100 million viewers.
