New York State Capitol
The New York State Capitol has served as the seat of government for New York since the 1880's. Over 125 years old, the building is a marvel of late 19th-century architectural grandeur. Built by hand of solid masonry, it took 5 architects and 32 years to complete. Over the years meticulous restoration has been done to maintain and protect the Capitol for future generations of New Yorkers.

Colonie Center
Located in the heart of New York’s Capital Region, visitors enjoy the convenience and selection of Colonie Center for shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Anchored by Whole Foods, Boscov’s and Macy’s, the center has many stores that are unique to the market—from the L.L. Bean retail store to the only P.F. Chang’s China Bistro in the Capital Region. Our center-wide renovation added a two-story fireplace, a family lounge and the DeNooyer Play Park in center court. Plan a night out at the 13-screen Regal digital cinema or At The Pier Arcade.
