New Scotland Ave Restaurant Week
The first New Scotland Ave Restaurant Week is September 24-30 in Albany's Helderberg Neighborhood.
Nine restaurants along the corridor from Quail to West Erie Street are participating: The Fountain, Graney's, Ragonese Imports, Sainato's, Capital City Gastropub, Albany Ale & Oyster, Kuma Ani, Restaurant Navona, and Sake Cafe. They'll be offering a range of discounts and special offers.
As we mentioned recently, this stretch is one of Albany's most vibrant neighborhood commercial strips, at the intersection of multiple walkable neighborhoods that include a mix of housing options. The city of Albany is planning a bunch of streetscape upgrades for the strip next year.
Neighborhood association meeting
By the way: The Helderberg Neighborhood Association has a meeting this Wednesday, Septembr 19 at 6:30 pm at the 1st Congregational Church of Albany at 405 Quail Street, about a block of New Scotland. It looks like stormwater will be a theme, with info about getting a rain barrel.
Albany has a bunch of neighborhood associations and it's worth stopping by a meeting for you neighborhood. They're often a good chance to hear about issues (and, uh, maybe some gossip) in the neighborhood, meet your neighbors, and talk about how to make things better
Say Something!
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.
