Lunching with Obama
You can eat while he talks.
James emailed us this morning:
I'll be at work tomorrow but I want to watch the Inauguration. Are there any restaurants or bars in the Capital Region that are planning any noontime events centered around the Inauguration? I work in Niskayuna, but I'm sure I'm not the only one in the area who might be interested in such a thing.
Anyone know of a good place to lunch with Obama? We're guessing most places with a TV (sports bars/restaurants included) will probably have it on.
Here are a few places to watch the inauguration -- not necessarily with lunch...
+ The NY Network will be showing the inauguration on the big screens at the Madison end of the ESP concourse.
+ The Albany Public Library will be showing the inauguration at the main library on Washington Ave.
+ The Movieland theater in Schenectady is showing the event. It's free to get -- doors open at 10 am.
And later in the day, Citizen Action is showing a replay (it appears) at Envy in downtown Albany at 5:30. It's $10 at the door ($5 ahead of time). Light hors'dourves will be served along with a cash bar.
Know of any other parties/events for the inauguration? Share!

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
