The Armory is usually kept up the Sleevory. But not in Albany. They do things differently there…read more If you happen to be in this very busy part of central Albany, perhaps getting an amazing Gyro from My Gyro Station, or a Falafel/Shawarma Pita sandwich from Mamoun's, you will instantly notice the massive, dominant, haunting, imposing structure across the street, just the way you see it in the rainy picture I posted. The Armory, for me, is the most spectacular sight in Albany. Partly because of the way it looks and dominates the area with its sheer size, but partly because it's in an area full of shops and people and traffic, and really stands out from all the typical downtown hustle and bustle, rather than being tucked away somewhere. It's right on a major intersection. It give Albany a lot of character and is well worth checking out. Definitely a 5-star attraction. And if you fall in love with a French girl here (probably from Montreal), then that's very Amoury.

I have been to the SEFCU arena for sporting events around 10 times in the past few years, and have…read morenot been particularly impressed. Parking: They've charged anywhere from $5-10 for parking for women's basketball games, which in my opinion is way too steep, especially given that the lot is quite far away from the entrance. Concession Stand: I'm assuming the variety offered depends on the event, but I've noticed a decline in options over the past few years, which is a bummer. They do usually have nachos, candy, and a few other staples. Seating: Most of the seats here are super uncomfortable bleachers. Be sure you get one of the seats with the backs if you don't want to be totally miserable. Most annoyingly though, this place always seems to be experiencing some sort of technical issue. While hosting the America East Championship Game a few years ago, they didn't even have a working scoreboard for the game... they literally made an announcement in front of thousands of fans asking folks to "download the Great Danes app." What about older fans who don't have a smartphone? They also didn't have working shot clocks... again, this was for the Conference Championship game. They literally had to set up shot clocks in the bleachers. I honestly have never seen anything quite like it for such a high-profile game. Not sure if the blame for this sits with the venue, the conference, or what, but it was all pretty embarrassing and unacceptable. To be fair, they do now have a nice new video scoreboard that hopefully will be more reliable. Also, the SEFCU staff are generally pretty friendly. Overall, SEFCU is definitely not the best basketball venue in the America East, but it's not the worst so... I suppose that counts for something?

I did like sitting near third base better than my previous seat behind home plate. It offered a better view of the action even though I had to keep turning my head to check out the scoreboard to the left of me and then turn right to watch the players at bat. It's a nice looking stadium. The brick oven pizza is delicious. The vendors, staff and fans are friendly. To keep kids engaged there are contests and relay races on the field between most innings. The team hosts a lot of events to benefit community causes including food insecurity and animal shelters. There a fireworks displays periodically which are fun to watch. It's certainly worth a visit.

It is delightful to watch the horses receiving workouts and exercise on the track a few feet away from your dining table. The buffet breakfast was good, especially the variety of cut fresh fruit, the hash brown potatoes, the sausages, and the bacon. Coffee, tea, and water are served at the table. Plain bagels and three kinds of muffins were available. I miss the small fresh Danish pastries served in the past. Plastic utensils and plates are used with high quality paper napkins. Free backstretch Tram tours are available during breakfast hours. We enjoyed it on another visit. The cost is $30. for adults and $12. For children under twelve. You pay for the ambiance not the food.
