All Over Albany

Stuff to do this weekend

You've shoveled, you've salted, you've scraped the windshield, you've moved the cars from one side of the street to the other and back again. It is now time to have some fun.

After the jump, a few things we thought would be, you know, more fun than shoveling snow. Some are considerably more fun.

Got something else planned? We hear the sharing keeps you warm.

Whatever your plans are, have a great weekend!

Bundle up and go skating. Here are a few places you may want to try.

Hot Chocolate
What? We have to spell this out for you?

Keep warm
Grab some ingredients at the indoor farmers' markets and turn them into a hearty winter soup. Throw something in the oven and roast it. Curl up under a big pile of blankets and catch up on the books and movies you got for the holidays.
