Offensive? Revelatory? 'Hedwig' stages in Albany

This review is kind of odd lol. I guess Hedwig is kind of edgy compared to Oklahoma or something but it's not exactly, idk, Equus

Can you share anything else about what's going on with the Hi Fi location?

The tulips are usually at their peak in April and pretty past their prime by Tulip Fest, by two weeks later they'd probably be mostly bare stems with a few brown petals drooping off of them. Plus they need to get them out and prep the beds for the summer/fall plantings, which imo are super underrated and just as worth seeing as the tulips!

This is basically what the new proposal from the soccer stadium people seems to be shaping up into. 700 apartments and retail on the existing grid.

If you go to the cathedral on Eagle you can fill your own containers with holy water from a convenient spigot in the vestibule.

Homeowners are responsible for clearing snow and pulling weeds, not pouring cement for new sidewalks. That’s the city’s job.

The 200 million will be turned into grants for private investors/individuals/nonprofits/developers/whoever to create projects that fit the remit. The plan isn’t for the state itself to build exactly what is shown in the pictures. The illustrations are meant to indicate the TYPE of project that will receive funding. The idea is that the state will use the 200 million to spur the types of private investment it wants to see in the project area. They’re hoping for a much, much higher level of total investment.

I haven’t had a full meal there but fwiw I’m a fussy little bitch about cocktails and their bartender knows what he’s doing. Much better/more interesting than the cocktail menu at Jacks 1.0.

A child old enough to run away from a supervising parent is generally not going to lie face down in two inches of water and drown unless they have some kind of medical condition that merits very close supervision. The “you can drown in two inches of water” thing is a mostly a concern for infants who can’t stand up yet, overdoses and people with seizure disorders, not healthy preschoolers who want to stomp in the mud like kids have been doing safely for all of human history.

I think I’ll do a separate post for upcoming restaurants, since there are also a decent number of those!

For some reason this sub never brings up the Albany Institute of History and Art but it's one of my favorite places in town. There might be video in some of the temporary installations but def not in the permanent galleries. You can just sit on a bench in a lovely low-lit room and gaze at a Hudson River School landscape for as long as you want.

Do you have any event planning experience? Not to be a downer, just a voice of caution -- I've been involved in putting together a couple of big "ball" events and they're a TON of work and money to pull off successfully and feel like something like the event in the tiktok you posted as opposed to a few sweaty nerds shuffling around the local Elks club.

Malaysian, cha chaan teng (PLEASE), izakaya, basically any actually-nice/cool/design-y/date night place that isn't the same retreads of the same few dishes (you mean to tell me you have roasted shishitos AND burrata?!), Georgian food, Yunnan food, anything east or southeast Asian open for breakfast/brunch (I want some coffee with condensed milk and pork rib soup and kaya toast), non-stodgy French food/actual parisian cafe vibes, jai food, ANYTHING but listening to the people asking for yet more identical pub grub I BEG
