I work at 500 New Karner. I used to go to L-Ken’s for a quick lunch last year but they haven’t opened yet this year…idk why? I hit up fudruckers with my co-worker’s sometimes. Usually in and out in about 35 mins or so. The I love NY pizza is right down the road from me, can get a couple slices there and be back in the office in about 15 mins. Not bad pizza, not the best either. We order chinese from this place right across the street called Dragon Garden. They charge $5 for a lunch dish and it’s a very plentiful size and quite good. ---

> [@Swifty](#): > > Quisnos! is awful. I had a sandwich there this week and i’ll never go there again. The best place in Colonie to grab a good sandwich is Pellegrino’s. It’s directly across the street from the Cumberland Farms on Central Ave. $7.00 will get you a sub, a drink, and a bag of chips. I’ve been going there forever. ---
