Posted in New York Dining March 30, 2022 by Lisa Sammons There is no shortage of great seafood restaurants in New York. With our proximity to both the ocean and the Great Lakes, we have seemingly endless options for fresh seafood . One spot that we love is a little seafood market and restaurant tucked away in Syracuse.

TikTokers are jumping to their feeds to keep up with the latest clips from Yaboi Toby Toad, the latest nonhuman to rise to viral fame on the video-streaming platform. This amusing amphibian has a collection of hats, his own miniature mansion and even participates in the latest TikTok trends. His landlord, human Savannah Mikell, said it doesn't matter where she goes these days — she's always asked about Toby. "Toby's not my pet toad," Mikell, 27, told The Post. "I guess it's just kind of a Florida thing. We have porch toads." At night, the wild toads gather on the porch to eat moths, she said, and that's how she found Toby. In 2019, Mikell joined a Facebook group called "Frogspotting," where users share all things frog-related.

Art by Michael Stillwell With temperatures rising and summer on the horizon, it's time to start thinking about your lobster order again. Do you prefer your lobsters steamed, boiled, or grilled? When you order a lobster roll, do you go Connecticut style (with hot and buttered lobster meat) or Maine style (served cold, and the lobster meat tossed with mayonnaise and celery)? While you can dine out at any number of chef-approved restaurants specializing in the delicacy (Le Bernardin's Eric Ripert recommends Duryea's in Montauk, for example), it's now just as easy to order in and have lobster shipped directly to you. In some ways, we have the pandemic to thank for easier access to top-quality lobster at home. Luke's Lobster, which opened its first location in New York's East Village and now has 18 locations around the world, shut down all but its Portland, Maine resta...

By Aubrey Turner  |  For the Prosper Press Patti Dallhoff's house is a typical Prosper home with one major difference. The home has a variety of reptile tanks throughout with an assortment of reptiles inside.  The Dallhoff family also raises a variety of insects to feed the animals and have a room in their home dedicated to the "bug business."  Currently, Dallhoff has a Halmahera blue tongue skink, northern blue tongue skink, Chinese water dragon, bearded dragons, sand boa snakes, and a leopard gecko.    "I am a certified science teacher," Dallhoff said.  "When I had kids I stayed home.  But I always liked learning about different animals and figuring out the life cycle and how to keep them healthy.  It has been like a continual science experiment, learning what each animal and bug neede...

The most terrifying part of the Long Island Aquarium in New York is a replica megalodon jaw that hangs on the wall, disembodied but still seemingly poised for a bite. The display used to inspire a deep feeling in me whenever I saw it — it was big, I was small. The megalodon inspires fear even 3.6 million years after it existed, and now new research provides an answer to why megalodons were so gigantic.
