Miracle on 34th St., It’s A Wonderful Life, and Blueberry Pancakes with Bacon & Eggs. Sometimes the classics just do it best.

Here at Carmens we cook food fresh and tasty— always— because it’s the way we love it.

We have both the meaty and the vegan (plus gluten-free) versions, and both are amazing!

With steamed spinach and onion-garlic mashed potatoes.

And if you think that’s great, you should taste the tilapia!

Channelling their inner elves and ready for the Holidays!

South Troy Against The World

Photographs by Will Gill, showing the unique perspective that comes from living in South Troy.

4-7 pm at Carmen’s. Be there or else be – well, not from South Troy.

Beautiful Event!!

And the signature cocktail, the Fizz Roy, is fantastic!

Jim-Gerale & Vodka, with Lime. Amazing!

Sometimes all you want is eggs & toast.

We do that too.

Creamy, creamy grits, made with Fontina cheese for extra smoothiest smoothness. Tang of sautéed mushrooms. Apple smoked bacon and two eggs, your style.

Now I remember, this is why I love November.

Again with the Pastelon? Yes!!!

We can’t make enough of this delectable Cuban Lasagna.

Each time we make a bigger tray of it and it still sells out. Layers of Plantain, Picadillo, Manchego and Mozzarella, topped with Egg and baked to crispy perfection.

It’s amazing! We remembered daylight savings time, but we were so used to getting up early for the farmers market that we were up-and-at-em at five. We are all prepped and ready to open for you early birds who forgot about the time shift.

Shown above, our special for the day, Black Bean Omelette. A savory mix of black beans, onions, tomatoes and cilantro wrapped in an omelette, garnished with handfuls of shredded cheddar. Amazing!

What the Spanish call an omelette— and we do it the Spanish way.

Mushroom, onion, red pepper, garlic, mashed potatoes. A zippy way to pep up your Sunday in this cold fall weather!
