INTEL: Little City Luncheonette is open on New Scotland Ave in Albany with comfort specials, breakfast cocktails + two familiar young chefs. We dropped in for stacked pancakes, breakfast cocktails + matzo ball soup to get the early dish.

We paired Executive Chef John Marra of Albany Ale & Oyster (Albany N.Y.) with veteran radio host + DJ Nate da Great, and asked: “If this dish were a track, what would it sound like?”
