Good Eats Around Town

Below are some of our favorite spots to grab a bite to eat. If you are in town for a couple of days, we recommend checking some of these places out!
Bare Blends Bowl.Smoothie.Juice Bar

Bare Blends Bowl.Smoothie.Juice Bar

1475 Western Ave, albany, NY

AWESOME place for plant based smoothies and incredible smoothie bowls with all fresh ingredients! This is one of Rachel's go-to places for a healthy breakfast or lunch.

Cuckoo's Nest

Cuckoo's Nest

234 Western Avenue, Albany, NY

CHICKEN.AND.WAFFLES. Enough said. Southern comfort food with some innovation mixed in. Their brunch is off the charts.

Gus's Hot Dogs

Gus's Hot Dogs

212 25th Street, Watervliet, NY

FAMOUS for their hotdogs and cheap eats. This hole in the wall is a landmark in Rachel and Aaron's hometown of Watervliet. If you are staying in the Capital District you have to make a trip over!

DeFazio's Pizza, Troy NY

DeFazio's Pizza, Troy NY

264 4th St, Troy, NY

After a rave review from Barstool Sport's CEO and Pizza Review legend Dave Portnoy, you'll be lucky to get an order in at this pizza place-- but its worth the wait! Authentic Italian wood fire pizza- great for the classics but they also put out some incredible weekly specials. *Note from Rachel- if you go, grab a piece of the Hangover Cake-- life changing*

Big Nic's Pizzeria

Big Nic's Pizzeria

109 Everett Road, Albany, NY

By far one of our favorite local pizza places. Their pizza slices are huge (think NYC style). They also put out a Pocket Pizza which is a combination of garbage bread and pizza that is pretty awesome. One of our favorite specialty pies here is the Italian Mixed.

Caffe Italia Ristorante

Caffe Italia Ristorante

662 Central Avenue, Albany, NY

This is where we had our very FIRST DATE! Aaron reserved the window seat (best seat) in the house.. .and the rest was history. We return to the scene of the crime every year on Valentine's day. Small 'mom and pop' restaurant with authentic Italian food.

Uncommon Grounds Coffee and Bagels

Uncommon Grounds Coffee and Bagels

1235 Western Ave #5, Albany, NY

Pepper Jack's

Pepper Jack's

192 North Allen Street, Albany, NY

AWESOME cheesesteaks and other great menu items for lunch.

For all the days along the way
