The Egg

Address: Agency Building 1, S Mall Arterial, Albany, NY 12203, USA

“I have only been to the egg once, and it was to see John Petrucci of Dream Theaters solo tour. It was a little confusing getting to the venue, but once we arrived it was very nice. I did not expect a venue like the egg to host a rock/metal show with how nice it was inside. Taking a elevator up with a designated staff member was a first for me. Once we got to the venue we got waters and merch at the designated area, and went to go find our spots. The staff was very good at helping us find our section and area of the theater. Once we sat down the show started, maybe I missed a memo but I didn’t know that you couldn’t record the show, so I had a event staff come up to me and tell me to stop recording, but pictures were allowed. Which I respect and appreciate the staff member for doing his job, I wish I would have known before entering the show, that way I wouldn’t record the show! I did get a couple pictures from the show that I will attach. But that was mainly the only reason I gave it four stars, and while it’s probably in their rules, or maybe it was only enforced at that show due to the musicians, I felt clueless and left out. I definitely recommend visiting however, and hope they bring more rock and metal related bands to the theater. I can definitely see more sophisticated prog metal bands playing the venue in the future!”

“The observation deck is located on the 42nd floor. There is an elevator designated to take you up and back down. The elevator runs throughout the day. The views are spectacular and be sure to take pictures!”

Empire State Plaza

Address: 100 S Mall Arterial, Albany, NY 12242, USA

Art gallery Museum

“I absolutely loved walking around this beautiful plaza. Everything is so clean and well maintained. Plus, the views are amazing. If you go underground there are places to eat, a gift shop and restrooms. This is a definite must visit spot while visiting the area.”

Restaurant

“I came in for lunch - wasn't sure if it was open but I had some time to kill and happened to be in the plaza around lunchtime. On offer today for lunch was a sparse Italian buffet. The food was fine but suffered from the issues common to all buffets and by no means specific to this location: lukewarm food served casserole style. I can't blame the restaurant as I imagine the lunch crowd to be thin, but I don't know that I'll return to this location for lunch in the future. I have heard their dinner is much better and I will probably return to check it out at some point. Biggest disappointment: the cannoli I selected for lunch was chewy not crispy (a texture issue only as it was still delicious). Biggest pleasant surprise: delicious coffee in to-go cups so you can wander out with coffee in hand. Best thing: you can't beat the view.”
