Timeline

  1. 19:51

    Washington Park

    Walk through Washington Park as the golden light begins. The Park Playhouse is visible in the center, and the long summer daylight makes this a pleasant, safe walk.

  2. 20:26

    Mamoun's

    Grab a seat at Mamoun's for dinner. The dim lighting and brick walls create a classy atmosphere that fits the evening mood. The kitchen is open from 17:00, so you will arrive just in time for a relaxed meal before it gets dark.

  3. 21:01

    Hollywood Tavern

    Stroll over to Hollywood Tavern for a drink. It is Albany's largest patio in the summer, offering a refreshingly unpretentious spot to wind down after dinner.
