Inspired by Cape Cod's beach houses, Emack and Bolio's fashions its very own cottage that serves a splendid array of desserts. With a cute picket fence and backyard patio, this dessert shop attracts families with kids all throughout the year. As you feast on their hand-dipped chocolates, fresh smoothies, ice-cream cakes and decadent pastries, enjoy open mic night performances that held here every Tuesday. A cozy fireplace keeps you warm during winter months, while a garden patio hots make-your-own-sundae parties. For tiny tots who accompany their parents, there is quite a selection of toys and gifts here to play around with.
Kurver Kreme has been an Albany favorite since 1953 thanks to its loyal customers that return summer after summer for delicious soft serve ice cream and loaded hot dogs. There is an overwhelming menu of Signature Sundaes, thick milkshakes, Boston Shakes, Italian Ice, ice cream floats and great hot dogs with meat sauce. Can't decide? You can bring home a pint or quart, or order an ice cream cake or pie to indulge in later on. Make sure that you come early in the evening to avoid the post-dinner rush, but worry not - the four windows can run through lines in a jiffy. Located near the Colonie Center in the suburb of Colonie.
