Damn, uberculture, that’s my worst nightmare. We hiked Oyster Dome, which is a bit crowded for my liking, but it’s for a reason: The hike is enjoyable and the views are stunning (we saw all the way to BC on a clear day).  Read more

Yep, they have oyster knives tethered to all the picnic tables.  Read more

Thank you, you should comment here more often.  Read more

I always thought they were a NY thing.  Read more

I’d consider those more of a snack cake? But also a sandwich in some sense, yes. Read more
