Weekends are meant to get out there and explore, and #tasteandshopusa... This past weekend, we took a culinary excursion to get ready to go to the Downtown Troy Business Improvement District PIG OUT! However, we decided to drive first to Visit the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. We dined at one of our favorite spots, La Fogata Colombian Restauranté.
On our return trip back home to Schenectady County, we stopped off to where we shop on Saturdays at the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market area on SUNDAY, August 17, 2025, for the Troy, NY PIG OUT. There we sampled tons of braggadocio barbecue cooked foods, and then went inside Little pecks for iced cold drinks, before going out for more tasty BBQ.
We purchased BBQ PORK BELLY BURNT ENDS, fresh-made CORN BREAD with butter from Dotty Lou’s BBQ... While my food and travel companion, JJ, waited in line for the Pork Belly Burnt Ends, I went inside Yellow Lab Vintage & Books, and discovered a plethora of vintage dining and tea sets, and vintage books. There, I purchased HARLEM ON MY MIND: Cultural Capital of Black America 1900-1968 — a first edition book and collectible to pass down to my kids, or grandchildren, for just $65-plus NY State tax.
