Beautiful architecture! Although it’s currently under construction and temporarily closed, it’s definitely worth seeing from the outside. I would have loved to go inside, but even from the exterior, it’s striking and unique. A standout piece of architecture right in the heart of Albany.

An absolute must see if you’re in the Albany area! Beautiful views and surrounded by fountains that run during the day. At night it lights up and a lot of times coordinates with holidays and awareness months. Spectacular spot to eat and even just relax. Definitely don’t miss out on it if in the Albany area
