Prepare for the Polar Vortex. Knit a Scarf

By Lindsay Kurz 01.27.2014

Though I admit that I do love to peruse the aisles of big box craft stores now and then for good deals, it is especially exciting to highlight some of Ithaca’s smaller and more unique artsy/crafty shops. There are a number in town that specialize in sewing, art supplies, stationary, and yarns and knitting. For…read more

Hollenbeck's Cider Mill

An Autumn Visit to an Old-Fashioned Cider Press

By Lindsay Kurz 10.27.2013

Though I am slightly breaking the rules by covering something just outside the Tompkins County line, I thought a mention of Hollenbeck’s Cider Mill too good to pass up.

The Annual Friends of the Library Book Sale is here!

By Lindsay Kurz 10.21.2013

I would of course be remiss, dear readers, if I failed to mention the annual highlight of Ithaca…the autumn Friends of the Library book sale. I know several locals who consider this their not-to-be-missed, super important, highlight of the year. (Yes, we are a literary bunch here in little ole’ Ithaca). Indeed, I myself admit…read more

Several years ago I wrote a review (for another outlet) about what I describe as ‘one food wonders,’ or ‘OFW’ for short. These are the food joints that sell only type of edible…only rice pudding, or only mac n’ cheese, or only cupcakes. Period. Like skinny jeans and fedoras, OFWs seem to cluster in the…read more

Don't Throw that in the Trash!

A Guide to Selling, Donating, or Trading your Stuff

By Lindsay Kurz 09.01.2013

Rather than ‘spring cleaning,’ it is always the onset of fall that gets me in the mood to clean out, to start anew, to get organized. Likely this urge stems from past years of preparing for the start of the school year. In any case, with September upon us it is time to clear the…read more

The Local Guide to Living (It Up) in Ithaca

By Lindsay Kurz 08.30.2013

Welcome to 14850zine! Well, at least welcome to the approximately four people who are reading this initial post (hi mom, dad, husband, and, if lucky, at least one of my sisters!)
