A rich 300-year history, a thriving arts community and seemingly endless wilderness make this New York capital city on the Hudson River a great weekend getaway. Outdoor enthusiasts come here to ski, hike, canoe and fish; trout and small-mouth bass fishing is among the best in the U.S. Mountains surround the city, and the tapestry of golds and reds on an autumn day is breathtaking. The city is dominated by an elaborate 10-building complex that includes the State Capitol; the New York State Museum, with life-like dioramas such as American Indian life and an Adirondack logging operation; and the oval-shaped Empire State Performing Arts Center, nicknamed "The Egg." History buffs will enjoy the colonial homes, historic churches and museums, and can tour 18th-century mansions, like the Schuyler, a superb example of pre-Revolutionary War architecture. Whether nature or history is your passion, you'll find an abundance of both in this upstate New York gem.

Mt favorite thing about the CBH, besides the great atmosphere and even better beer selection, is the fact that you get a ticket with every beer that you order. That ticket is redemable for one personal size pizza of your choice! Walk back to the kitchen, tell them cheese or pep, and a few mins later you can walk back and grab it. You can drink and eat all night long!!! Good for groups or dates, really good food (besides the pizzas =) ) Definitley a spot worth checking out in downtown Albany!

We stopped at World of Beer for some beers after doing a little shopping and ended up staying for lunch - so glad we did! Brendan, the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about the beers, gave us samples, and informed us about Monday's Build Your Own Burger. My husband's burger with sweet potatoes was great, as was my margherita flatbread. We enjoyed our time there and would definitely return!
