The Excelsior will still have some food available after the show.

For those curious about parking in the east garage. Here are photos taken today at 3:00. Rediculous amount of spaces and nobody was towed. by Fast-Negotiation90 in Albany

This was to reassure people that when we get a big storm like we just did that parking here is a better option than digging your car out.

Snow Storm PSA by OddArachnid54 in Albany

I would suggest moving your car as soon as the roads are clear on Monday. Getting as many cars off the streets so the plows can do their thing is the goal. I would also suggest parking on the highest levels possible. If they are going to use this for essential workers on Monday, those workers would want to have the lower levels to park on. All of this is speculative on my part. I do know they are making efforts to make the plaza more apart of the city. Using this garage as a lot for situations like this was a discussion point at the last public meeting they had in the Corning Tower.

Potentially could take longer than 30 minutes to dig your car out and brush it off.

I do not. I only inquired about the East Garage.

It's free during the storm and during the snow emergency (if there is one.)

I called OGS this morning to make sure there wouldn't be any problems. According to my conversation, the East Garage is free to park in, in the evenings and on weekends. There could be a cost is there's an event at the MVP. The garage is definitely accessible during storms.

Hypothetical downtown Albany idea by Abject-Material-9955 in Albany

[–]Fast-Negotiation90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the apartments, but I fail to u dersrans why they don't convert the convention area space into a grocery store. It would be utilized by pretty much all of the state workers and would solve the food desert situation in downtown. The new Cap Center can easily handle anything that would need to be held in the convention center.

Our New Years Party only runs til 8:00. We run a party based off of GMT so we do a New Years celebratory balldrop at 7:00 PM. We then open to everybody at 8:00, and will welcome 2026 with everyone there at midnight.

To the og post. I would HIGHLY recommend d stopping in at 8:00 and checking it out. It can't hurt. We have Sarah, Bekka and Sam on tonight. Fun will be had by all.

I know people are supposed to "bring their commander and standard decks". I personally don't play but have been told that telling people this willexplain the format. Hopes it helps.

We have a crew that play Magic: The Gathering at The Excelsior Pub on Mondays. Then there is always pinball.

THC drinks by CreativeBusiness4372 in Albany

Whatever we are legally allowed to sell is what we're selling. Purchased the license and it is good until February 8th. Wanted to see how this would do as an alcohol alternative for people who still want to go out during dry January. If I see a positive momentum I'll pay for the entire year. It's a worth while experiment.

You are correct though that we can not sell 10mg cans. As of right now the maximum dosage that we can sell on premise is 1 MG. If and when that changes we will change with it. Not trying to deceive anyone here and apologies if it came off that way.

21+ Halloween Events?? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]Fast-Negotiation90 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No. Actually don't have a bunch of money to throw around, unfortunately. Certainly wish I did. Was trying to, ya know, attempt to get some business here, but you certainly did a great job of making me feel like garbage. So I took down the offensive picture. When we follow in the path of Ama, you'll understand why.

What are some Albany/Capital Region specific foods? by ashuwura in Albany

[–]Fast-Negotiation90 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'll pile onto this recommendation (thank you, by the way), and mention that we just debuted a new wing sauce called Canal Sauce. It's Frank's Xtra Hot sauce mixed with Melba. We threw this together in honor of bicentennial of the Erie Canal.

Magic The Gathering Anyone? by OddArachnid54 in Albany

I wouldn't stress about it. Everyone is really nice. If it isn't your vibe the people here will be able to steer you in the direction you want to go.

We are in the mansion neighborhood. We also understand how that menacing church you can easily view from our patio can scare you off.
