Are you tired of always going to the same Chipotle place on Wolf Road? Here are 6 new places to adventure to that your stomach will not be disapointed in.
Iron Gate Cafe
182 Washington Ave, Albany, NY
I’m not kidding when I say this is by far the best brunch place I’ve ever been to. I’m not a breakfast person, but I would get their cornbread pancakes! Just be aware that they do close at 3 p.m. so if you do want to go wake your butt up on a Saturday or Sunday. It’s totally worth it.

Crisp
580-602 New Loudon Rd, Latham, NY 12110 (Newton Plaza)
The bread they use for their sandwiches is beyond fantastic. Also the salad portions they give out are big enough for you to have lunch the next day. Always a great thing. For Siena students they give a $1 off discount! Woohoo!

Burger 21
622 Loudon Rd, Latham, NY 12110
If you haven’t already been to burger 21 and you’re not a freshman… do you even go to Siena? They have a huge assortment of dressings for your burger and fries… Chipotle Mayo is the best. You’ve probably heard a lot about this delicious burger place but if you haven’t stop reading this and go grab a burger. If you went to the gym I give you permission to get a shake too. Enjoy!

Emack and Bolio
366 Delaware Ave, Albany, NY 12209
This is a little bit of a drive but worth it. I’m a cone person. With that said, their cones are by far the best ice cream cones I’ve ever had. They dip them in chocolate and then dip that in M&M’s, sprinkles, oreos, etc. They even have a fruit loop one. If you’re an ice cream kind of person (if you’re not you’re just weird) then obviously go here.

Coming soon to Albany.
So this amazing, wonderful place is coming to Albany within this year. I was lucky enough to go to their location in Saratoga. It’s so good it’s almost painful. My brother shunned me because I didn’t have their mac and cheese. So when you go maybe get that instead but if this burger is still on the menu I’m definitely getting that (sorry Nathan).

Cheesecake Machismo
293 Hamilton St, Albany, NY 12210
If that wasn’t enough for your sweet taste, I introduce you to the best cheesecake ever. This place is this quirky little building with a million action figures. It’s completely weird and mindboggling until you take a bite of their cheesecake and melt into your seat. This will be on my menu for the last thing I eat before I die

Hopefully that is a little bit of a change from your strict chipotle only diets. Enjoy! Don’t forget to instagram a delicious picture!
