Such a fun ice cream place. Indoor and outdoor seating with live music on Saturdays. This is the type of ice cream joint that serves waffle cones dipped in all sorts of treats.

DJ and dance floor

Fun two-level restaurant/bar/dancing club. The only place to dance in Albany that I know of. Downstairs is the bar and restaurant and upstairs another bar with a DJ and a dance floor. You get a free small pizza when you buy drinks. Short drive.

Theater with Live Shows

Gorgeous theater where you can catch big names coming through. Kevin Hart, Chelsea Handler, and Amy Schumer just to name a few shows I've seen there. They also show old films once in a while and have bands perform as well. Truly stunning theater.
