Ollies Slice Shop & Fletcher & Lu's

More reasons to love Kingston—somehow these spots got swept under my nose. Ollie’s slice shop is breaking out pizzas like caramelized onion with melted Italian hot pepper and a very pillowy Sicilian. I’m typically not a fan of the grandma style crushed tomato mound on top of cheese, but this was solid.

Fletcher & Lu’s—their sister spot selling house made, local & imported provisions to make your fantasy charcuterie board plus!; pate en croute, semolina sourdough pullman, and chix & pork sausages.

A Hankering for all Things Apple

Where ever you may be, it’s fall and it’s the best. The air smells cleaner although tinged with the amazing smell of burning wood in the distance. Pumpkins are plump and too heavy to pick and apples are in full bloom. 

What more would you crave than a crispy, airy or cakey apple cider doughnut? What about hot cider to snuggle up with while watching Halloween movies. Or, if you like your cider straight up go for the good stuff! I found that hard cider with a cider doughnut is an undeniably delicious pair. So, Go for it, I’m telling you!
