What a hidden gem! I had no idea Empire Too even existed until I saw a post on the 518 vegan page…read more I was excited to see they carry a variety of Rebel Cheeses, a plant-based artisan cheese company which is a woman owned and veteran owned business I am proud to support! Aside from the dairy free cheese selections, they have a large selection of meats and cheeses. The store walls are lined with local NY State products from small businesses, snacks, sauces, pasta, cocktail mixes, hard to find ingredients, glassware, gift sets, and bar supplies. If you spent an hour walking around inside you would still struggle to see all the products available. They have a ton of holiday gift ideas that would be great anytime now through New Years or throughout the year. Yes, you can see in the photos, they have a very large selection of non-alcoholic alcohols like Tequilla, Gina, Rum, Vodka, etc... as well as N/A beer and mocktails. Also they carry CBD and THC beverages. The prices are great! Definitely check this place out, don't wait, go now! Special holiday hours are posted in my photos.

The Walloomsac Battlefield Tavern opened on NY Route 67 in North Hoosick in March 2023. This old…read morebuilding was the home of two former restaurants including Theresa's Country Cuisine and Peggy's. At the time of this posting, this business was still awaiting its liquor license approval from NYS and the menu was only offering pizza (16"), calzones, strombolis, garlic knots and non-alcoholic drinks. This restaurant with table seating is also a museum too, which showcases memorabilia and artwork of the Battle of Walloomsac which took place on the nearby Bennington Battlefield. There are mannequins dressed with colonial attire, a mineral collection, drumset, and assorted collectables. The tavern side has stable seating and seating at the bar with dartboards, stuffed game heads/animals, foosball table, old books, mini flags, old beer taps, beer memorabilia, sports pennants, and plenty Norton Company caps (owner worked there). I stopped in at the Walloomsac Battlefield Tavern & Colonial Restaurant for pizza takeout recently. I ordered a 16" 8-cut Sausage & Mushroom Pizza ($16.20 with tax), which was ready in 30 minutes as promised. The pizza with plenty of fresh mushroom slices, ground sausage, red sauce and melted mozzarella cheese on a thin soft chewy crust. I enjoyed a few slices of this tasty pizza outside on a nice evening before taking the rest of the pizza back home. CASH ONLY

There's something for everyone on the menu, although it favors comfort food, that is, "tasty"…read moretrumps "healthy." So just be aware .,. I've been there a number of times now. It's one of the best options when in Hoosick Falls. And everyone comes away satisfied that expectations have been met. It's busy during mealtime hours and a bit difficult to hear at those times, so if you go with the hope of having a nice conversation over your meal, choose an off-hour. The location along the River is gorgeous. I try to sit close to a window if it's possible. There is a lot of energy in the space; it's very upbeat and fun.

Amazing experience here with the kamayan feast that was prepared with love by Chef Champ!…read more When we arrived, the table was all set. Chef Champ greeted us and learned each guest's name and showed us how to properly grab the food for kamayan. We were encouraged to grab a drink from the fridge, and I had the calamansi. We feasted on chicken lumpia with Thai chili sauce, lechon with garlic vinegar, chicken inasal, sweet and sour snapper with rice, 3 types of sauces and fruit. And as a dessert, we had beautifully prepared halo halo. After the meal, Chef Champ explained the hand painted wall and the inspiration for the design. This was such a wonderful and cozy experience. I wish I lived closer to Troy so I could go back again!

The only Filipino storefront in the capital region. I'm Filipino so I had to come for some halo…read morehalo 100% recommend Anything you get would be good Lumpia (Filipino fried egg rolls), lechon kawali (crispy pork belly), any of the silog dishes (breakfast anytime dishes), adobo, menudo are good introductory things to start with if new to Filipino food. Menu changes so keep an eye out. If owner is reading this, please add fresh lumpia to the menu once in a blue moon (because that's something I've refused to try cooking at home it's too many components). For anyone wondering what that is it's a savory crepe with cooked vegetables with a sweet and salty sauce and it's so good. Halo halo was good. Reminded me of the days when my parents would buy halo halo from the Filipino storefronts on summer weekends in southern California where i grew up. I got 2, 1 for me and 1 for my fiance. It seemed as though 2 different people made our halo halos because his had coconut, mine didn't and his had a garlic aftertaste like when you cut a fruit on a cutting board after cutting garlic on a cutting board since garlic is strong. Service was so fast. It's all preorder so i ordered the day before, got a text ~15 min before my pick up time that it was ready and picked it up. It's a small place, cute and cozy for a fast meal or for takeout. We know where we'll get our halo halo fix. That and fresh lumpia are the things i eye on the weekly preorder menu

I got sauerkraut on mine and it was an extra .50 for toppings I had originally ordered blueberry/strawberry lemonade but I was told that they didn't have blueberry so it was just strawberry. Pretty cool that they have a lemon slicing machine. After that, it goes into an air powered crusher that squeezes all the lemon juice out. It is a bit on the sweeter side but at least now I see how the process goes. The cost is $7 and you get it in a Chinese take out quart container
