Hey everyone! I’m excited to get some fishing in around Saratoga Springs this November. I know it’s getting colder, but I’d love any recommendations for spots that are still active this time of year. I’m open to both lake and river fishing, and any tips on what’s biting this season would be awesome. Thanks in advance! 🎣

P.S: I dont have a boat or a kayak.

Hi all. I am looking to move into the area in a few months and trying to narrow down what neighborhoods to look in. I may very likely work in Albany. Would love to hear an estimate of what your morning commute is like? (bus or driving). Many thanks!

Looking for something local i can bring like 4 friends to.

I want to get out and support local businesses for Christmas shopping come Black Friday / Small Business Saturday! Does anyone know who's offering deals yet?

Fall/Winter Youth Sports ? My son is 7 yrs old and i would like to get him into some sports programs or other extra curricular activities for kids . Preferably clifton park/halfmoon area but willing to drive a couple of exits up north if need be

What type of water does everyone drink at home? I only like the taste of my tap water when it’s VERY cold. I’m thinking of adding some type of filtration system in my house. Any recommendations?

Where can volunteer on Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day?

From my research it does not look like there is a single crossfit in saratoga, any suggestions on where people go? Every gym is a 20 min drive on the highway. Do people find that to be a far drive?? (coming from a city folk)

Looking for a spot to take some DIY Christmas photos for a family Christmas card, with two little guys (toddler and newborn).

So somewhere open to the public and family-friendly. Maybe a scenic outdoor spot. Any suggestions?

Best Mechanics in Saratoga County ? Preferably closer to Clifton Park area

I live in Albany and apparently this weekend is the Halloween going out weekend?? Is that the same for Toga? Me and my friends were planning on going out with our costumes there next weekend and worried no one will be dressed up

Any recommendations for good trick-or-treat neighborhoods on Halloween night? We'd love to take our little one out, but unfortunately while we live in a fairly large apartment community, there's very little (to none, some years) trick-or-treating. We wouldn't be able to make any of the weekend events or daytime trunk-or-treats either. I'd be super grateful for any suggestions or hearing about your own experiences. Thank you!

Does anyone know what is being built next to the railroad tracks all throughout the area? Wondering if they're just repairing/updating the tracks cause it's not just in Saratoga. Had my hopes up that it was a bike path or something but probably unlikely

Hey I live in Malta. I’m willing to travel as far as Saratoga for pizza. Looking for your recommendations for the best spots. TYIA

The last outdoor Second Sunday Market is happening this weekend! We unfortunately had to cancel our original date (Oct 13) due to weather but we're making it up:

Sunday, October 27 10am-2pm In Congress Park by the carousel

There will be tons of local vendors, baked goods, coffee from Broadway Coffee Co. and live music. See you there ☀️

Looking for suggestions.We are in town for the weekend. My 9 year old daughter wants to get dressed up and go to a "fancy" restaurant, so I'm looking for recommendations. And honestly I'd love something a little more upscale than we usually get to do as a family as well!

She's well behaved but she is a little picky so if there's some kid friendly fare while also having some great adult food even better! We did see an Italian place called Panza's recommended but the reviews were mixed so it anyone can comment on that it would be helpful, too

Thanks, Internet strangers!

Update: We choose Olde Bryan and the Merc on Sunday for Brunch before heading home. We had an absolutely lovely time visiting and now my kid wants to live in Saratoga forever! I guess we will be visiting again :)

Please let me know your thoughts about moving to Burnt Hills from NYC for retirement. We’re a non-white couple if that matters.

We’re looking for a friendly community, easy access to doctors’ offices and shopping, and a lower cost of living. Thanks.

Hello! My wife and I will be relocating to the area for 1 year in June 2025 (work related move.) While looking for rentals, I’ve noticed many are only available outside of track season (makes sense.)

Any recommendations for units with 12 month leases (preferably furnished) or the best way to search more efficiently? Looking for a 1 or 2 bed unit that allows small dogs. Ideally would like to be able to walk downtown, but certainly not a requirement if it isn’t feasible. Relatively flexible on price (preferably below $3k if possible.)

Thank you in advance!

You’ve probably never stayed at the Worden Hotel but you’ve likely walked by where it was located at the corner of Broadway and Division. Mark Twain stayed at the hotel on his way to visit Ulysses S. Grant at Mt. Mcgregor. The hotel was open year round and it was a popular destination for conferences.

The hotel was burned beyond repair in a fire in the 1960s and subsequently torn down. Bluebird Spa City Motor Lodge stands where the Worden Hotel once did.

I just love this postcard and had to share it. It was published but the Rotograph Co. out of NYC. The companies cards are regarded as some of the finest from the era. This is an undivided back postcard, meaning the message would be written in the white space on the front and the back was for the address only; the card was produced in 1905 and made in Germany.

due to medical reasons i am searching for a place to get my wisdom teeth removed that will use oral anaesthesia rather then an injected one. Able to travel about an hour from saratoga! TIA!

The next meeting of the Knickerbocker Knitters is scheduled for this Sunday, the 27th from 1:15-3:15 at the East Greenbush Community Library!

Costumes are optional, but encouraged! Please feel free to bring your Rhinebeck haul and your knitting!!
