I've been in this business for 30 years. I've done business in Southern PA, Maryland, California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, East Durham, etc. They intentionally gave us reassurances about costs and requirements which tripled and quadrupled while cutting off our access. If this place doesn't want you, they are not subtle about it. Your local Burger King may have a kid's playground. May I suggest having your event there rather than trying to deal with the intentionally l-evasive staff, who will work hard to make it impossible for you to even know your requirements, will change them months after and essentially destroy most of your work. i have worked with or tried to work with as many local venues as possible. The last time I had an experience like this, the Meadowlands guy, who had a thick ruby ring and did not know the event business, said, "Good price, eh? You gotta double it for all our workers. We didn't want to mention it until you looked hook." If these are good, honest people, they've decided to save all of that for someone else, We keep quoting direct documentary evidence and the town keeps just ignoring it - why not? They have all the power, none of the honest.

Our farmers market in Pleasanton, CA near where I live is In a Richey Rich area and the price is not even as steep. Just saying as I blend quality and price but overall the foods, veggies and meats look great. One star off for steep pricing. Service is nice and friendly but again the price for my stuffed cabbage is $2 more than my Russian / Ukrainian/ Eastern European Market price in CA. So that still bugged me. Typical farmers market ambiance. Wished it were on a large parking area versus a park. Parking is not convenient but that is ok. I would go again but not go out of my way to go. Regardless, if you are in Saratoga, NY it is worth going to and definitely try the stuff cabbage.

I visited Saratoga Performing Arts Center recently to see Hayley Williams live…read more The parking situation at this venue is not great. The traffic gets pretty bad before concerts. They lack clear signage, so we ended up in the wrong parking lot, and chose to just park there anyways because we would have needed to wait through traffic once again. The venue itself is located in Saratoga Spa State Park, so there's plenty of beautiful nature and sights surrounding the venue. The venue itself is very beautiful and easy to navigate. They offer the typical food and drink offerings as other similar amphitheater venues. While overpriced, it's what you would expect. My strawberry vodka lemonade was way too sweet, but it came in a cool orb cup at least (lol). The lines were also relatively short for concessions. While the bathroom line appears long, it actually moves pretty fast and they have plenty of stalls in each restroom. It's not too hard to find a clean stall. Our seats were located on the balcony. I found that the sound quality was really bad compared to almost any other venue I've been to. The sound was better from the lawn. Overall, this is a fairly unique venue. I'd consider coming back, though I'd look into other seats because of the sound quality issue.

Upon arriving and waiting on the long line to attend the show lugging my back pack which contained nothing but a change of shoes and a mini raincoat. I was told I could not go in to see the concert because my "bag" was too big and didn't fit the framed box outlined on the table at security check point. I thought how silly it was like checking into the airport with a baggage carry on that was too large. I politely ask if I was going to get my money back for the ticket I purchased I was told NO. They claim the sent emails I checked there was nothing but emails for up coming concerts overload from SPAC very disappointe. Hence BAD experience for me at SPAC as a ticket holder and guest. I asked what was I supposed to do with my bag they suggested I find a bush or take the content out and throw my back pack away. Not to mention my back pack was from the Sara Boutique and cost $150 The ticket was $59 for the lawn view of the concert. SPAC PLEASE REFUND MY MONEY ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ geez.

SPAC Food and Wine 2013…read more My group and I entered the park and were met with exotic cars. We took some photos and then went on to the tasting. The wines I enjoyed were sweet zinfandel and some Rieslings. They had wines from mostly the US, France and Italy. I learned about champagne and how certain wines are aged. The staff was very friendly. I would say the average person was in their 50's. I give the food 4 stars. Some local restaurants were featuring their most loved dishes. I had waffles with graham cracker and strawberry topping, uniquely-made shrimp tacos, cheesecake cookies, wild rice salad, southern lima bean salad and many other interesting dishes. Only one hour into this my group and I were getting tired. Great experience.
