The Hunt for a New Favorite Diner

I'm sure all you folks have heard the news about the closing of the Miss Albany Diner.  I miss her already and its only been a couple of weeks.  As I said last week, now I am going to have to go find a new #1 diner in the Capital Region.  I know it's going to be tough, but I'm just going to have to move on without her.  I am open for suggestions and I plan to try out some new places here in the Capital Region that I haven't had the chance to experience yet.  Feel free to leave a comment and throw out some suggestions for me, I will update everyone as I embark on this journey to find my new favorite Capital Region diner.  I think this is the best thing for me, I just have to move on without her and check out other places.

In the Aftermath of Irene

My sympathy goes out to all people affected by Hurricane Irene in the Capital Region and beyond, I hope everyone is doing okay getting their lives back in order.  I just got my power back on this morning and I am doing fine.

Waking up to no electricity Monday morning was unpleasant, the milk could not be trusted and I wasn't sure how long my fridge was out for so I didn't end up eating the Lucky Charms, they didn't sound so lucky.  I started looking for breakfast elsewhere and after finding my way through uncharted routes due to road closings I ended up at the Capital City Diner I guess I'm attracted to shiny buildings.

I enjoyed at least 3 cups of coffee and a hefty plate of french toast with sausage.  It seemed pretty crowded, I'm guessing most people were in a similar situation to mine.  The food was great however I used over a dozen syrup packets, I think next time I'll have to see if they can bring me a pitcher of it. 

The Diner is located on 1709 Western Ave, you can't miss it.
