It's the capital region of New York State, there's bound to be stuff to do here right? Feel free to contribute new entries or adding more information to existing entries.
 
==Music==
Valentines - A small club that plays mostly local music and little-known acts but occasionally has larger national and international bands like Of Montreal in September of 2005.
 
Pepsi Arena - Stadium that has big and expensive shows if you're into that.
 
Northern Lights - Club that has gets some good acts as well.

--Wait...Okay, if you're from upstate New York, then maybe you think Bombers is pretty good. But I'm not, and I think that it sucks. Yes, the burritos are relatively large, I'll give you that. But they are also practically flavorless, the place is filthy, and there is virtually no parking. If you want to eat something that has at least a tiny bit of flavor it is better to go to Taco Bell in Bennington, for goodness sake. Either that or fly to California.
 
Unless you're visiting friends at UAlbany and hate good Mexican food, this place should be skipped.
 
--Some say filthy, I say "has character". It's tiny, often crowded, but a really chill atmosphere and tons of food for cheap, combined with the crazy stickers/pictures all over everything and (if I recall correctly) the foosball table can make for a pretty awesome evening. As for parking, find somewhere in the neighborhood--all of Lark street is worth a look.

===Getting to Crossgates Mall===
 
Follow all of the same directions that you would to get to [[Albany International Airport]], except do not get off at exit 4 on Rt. 87. Keep going. Take the Crossgates Mall exit (3, I believe) which will take you directly take you to the mall. Although beware if it is a school holiday, a Saturday, or the month of December. Do not take this exit, as it backs up. Take the next one. At the light, take a right, then at the next lihgt take another right. Continue down that street until you see the Crossgates signs on the right and then turn right into the mall.
