Another Pandemic St. Patrick's Day

10:38 Like back in 2020, it’s anything but a normal St. Patrick’s Day this year. With Albany’s parade canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic for a second straight year, WAMC’s Jackie Orchard reports the holiday might serve as a way to reflect on the immigrant story and what it means to conquer hardship. Elizabeth Stack, Executive Director of the Irish American Heritage Museum, says one of the best things about being a national museum of immigrant history is the sense of community. She says it used to be a homing beacon where people could come and share their experiences but the pandemic has taken that away for now. She says it stings the most around St. Patrick’s Day.

Albany, Schenectady, west suggestions for dinner by fireplace?

Table Hopping By Steve Barnes, senior writer on February 4, 2021 at 5:51 PM A reader and her husband, who will be celebrating their 10th anniversary this weekend, are looking for recommendations for a cozy, comfortable place, more pub-style casual  than fine dining, for a celebratory meal by a fireplace. That’s the important part: fireplace. They live in Duanesburg and so would welcome nearby recommendations west or south, and, in the other direction, ranging into Rotterdam, Schenectady and Albany. Colonie and Latham are OK too. I’m not much help for them for places closer to home, but both the Albany Pump Station (pictured) and the Albany location of Druthers Brewing have fireplaces. (The Olde English Pub does as well, beneath a portrait of Winston Churchill, but it’s closed for the season.) I also knows there’s a fireplace the tavern at The Century House in Latham.
