I went a couple weekends ago and it definitely livened up this bitter winter! My favorite chowder was from a restaurant called Mazonne (It had duck confit 🤤). When I went, each little bowl was $2 and you go around downtown Saratoga and stand in line...
Your Guide to Saratoga Chowderfest
I have gone twice, and whenever friends or family come to visit, THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO TAKE THEM. Snow tubing is exhilarating! It's a great winter activity, if you're not super coordinated, or you don't know how to ski.
West Mountain
This is an EXPERIENCE, not just a store. They have FREE samples of everything! They primarily sell different varieties of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I tried a strawberry balsamic and it was DELICIOUS. I bought it as well as a garlic olive oil. T...
Saratoga Olive Oil Company
I brought my sister and some friends here and they had SO MUCH FUN. What I love about this place is that they take the time to really teach you how to properly rock climb with belaying. The guy who owns it is SUPER passionate about rock climbing &...
Home - Albany's Indoor Rockgym
This place has Latin night every first Saturday of the month. It's 10 bucks to get in & you have to show ID (21 years & up). They always have a great crowd. The music starts around 9:30p so it's great if you're a night owl. It's a fun place t...
Newburgh Brewing Company
This is a great place to go with a group of friends or family to share tapas. It is definitely on the pricier side, but the quality of the dishes matches the price. I have NEVER been a fan of olives, but the olives here were actually really good!
Boca Bistro | Spanish Tapas Restaurant | Saratoga Springs, New York
Downtown Troy has the best restaurants IMO. Love the flavorful dishes at this place!! One of the ones I tried was the Lamb with smen. I really enjoyed it! The customer service has also been good.
Troy, NY - Tara Kitchen
This location's ambiance is AMAZING! If you want an esthetically pleasing place to hang out inside or outside (when the weather is nice), this is the place! Notice, I emphasized the ambiance, not the food. The food is not anything to write home about...
Brewpub Menu | Druthers Brewing Company
This quaint shop has some of the BEST coffee. I ordered a French Toast Latte (or something along those lines) and it was DELICIOUS! I could not stop telling my sister about it.
Stacks Espresso Bar
Family friendly rink!
Capital Arena | Indoor Ice Rink in Clifton Park, NY
This is one of my TOP rated restaurant recommendations for the Capital Region. As a southern girl, this restaurant hits the mark on southern cuisine! The home fries are perfect crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The biscuits are soft and but...
The Nest | Southern Restaurant in Schenectady, NY
Multi-purpose location! Not only the food but also the ambience is great here. They have a small market to buy a few food items. This is a great place to take care of business if you work from home. The restaurant can also be rented out for different...
Little Pecks - Clark House Hospitality
