WEEKEND GETAWAY

Town Profile: Albany, New York

I happened to be visiting Albany during holiday time and since Albany is a bit of a commuter city with the college students and government workers, everything was closed.  So, if you’re really interested in the Albany experience, don’t go during a typical vacation week.

Spend some time walking around Lark Street and late night hitting up bars like Lark Tavern, Oh Bar or Susies.

For the foodies: Crisan and Cheesecake Machismo and Miss Albany Diner 

For you flea lovers: At The Warehouse
