If youre looking for sushi try sake cafe, they have two spots one on newscotland ave by graneys and one in slingerlands price chopper plaza. There is also Ruby next to the pub on madison. And if youre in glenmont there is Hokkaido which is habachi too and i think its the best around. I like hana better than koto but ive heard good things about sushi x, still need to go try it. Also just went to Swifty’s in Delmar and it was decent pub food (only had the burger) but they have a good selection of beer on tap, its the only place i found warstiener dunkel other than the biergarten. ---

Sushi X is awesome, but I don’t think it’s Very high quality. I thought sushi X was good till I went to Gingers in Jersey. It sucks to travel a lot and see just how over priced and under quality our area is.😢 > [@Would love to pop a few terrorists with this thing..](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/would-love-to-pop-a-few-terrorists-with-this-thing/47678/9): > > It’s posted several times in this thread.

There’s a juicy burger in Guilderland or there abouts and they have a cruise in in the summer on tuesday nights or something. Mostly rods and classics show up but its a good time. ---

I need to add a clause to my previous post: They’re not that bad for _chain_ restaurants. I’d take either of those places over fridays or chilis any day.
