Not reading through everything but Hiros Hibachi bar on central ave … awesome dining experience, good place to eat with a few friends… the prices aren’t bad at all… the Fillet Mignon is awsome. Buca Di Beppo - Awomse food, family style so portions are big to accomadate multiple people… Joes Pizza Place - My mom runs it… food is excellent (depends on whos cooking ) but its a small little place and a great place to eat Capris on broadway schenectady - not really a restaraunt, but there sandwhiches are awsome they give you a ridiculous ammount of meat… there meats are always good… venesen sub is awsome! Slicks on ferry st schenectady - Little pub been there for ever… Simply awsome sandwhiches… I love to eat there… theres nothing really special about the place or the sandwhiches but for soemr eason i find myself wanting to eat there… its cheap, the sandwhiches are big and its a quiet nice little atmosphere theres some more I cant think of right now ---

I would say Mangias in Stuyvesant plaza (Former employee)… but apparently Mark Burgaser (the owner) prefers Med. Food… the new place looks like a department store from the outside. Lame. ---

The Bistro is for a new kind of sub or sandwich they have, that’s why they call that one Mr.Subb Bistro. Well, that’s what I’ve heard. ---

Anyone go to Brown’s in Troy? Their Pale Ale and the Brew Burger there are my favorite. I’ve been going here pretty often. Good crowd and awesome beers and food.
