3991 NY-43, North Greenbush“How I found the best swag shop in Albany? I went to a concert at the MVP arena and was told my bag was too big to enter with. Damn! I told my sister to hold out there at the gate and I went looking for a place to get a smaller bag. Right up the street I found Fresh&Fly. Angelo was behind the counter and hooked me up quick with the perfect bag. Then he offers to keep my bigger bag for me overnight so I didn't have to throw it away. Never met a sales person this cool! I didn't have time to look around as I had to go back to the MVP. Bag worked like a charm.Next day I go back to the shop and Angelo is there holding my bag out for me. We chatted about the concert and then I got a chance to actually look around the store. Best stuff I've seen. I mean quality, color, design (Some of which is Angelo's original ). The place isn't big but the selection is great with unique items and nice layout. I bought a hoodie with Angelo's own design and the quality is outstanding. This place is sweet!”
“I discovered Peter Harris when I found I didn’t have any clothes I wanted to wear for an upcoming business trip to a warm location. I found everything I needed and got home and packed in time to leave for airport.”
“I love Peter Harris and I was enjoying the coupon and points program, unfortunately I was told today it is ending at the end of May. Of course I will still shop, it's a fun and relaxing place to buy clothes for my whole family.”

588 Loudon Rd, Latham“I believe in small business and support those who deserve it. Casual Set certainly does. During these trying times when the price of every thing is going up buy revenue is stagnant, Casual Set manages to have tasteful, stylish and affordable Zoom era merchandise for every wallet. The owner, Peter, is gracious and accommodating. He runs his business the way a Main Street business should be run by listening and caring for his customers.”
“Absolutely LOVE this location. Staff is so pleasant. I leave smiling every time I go. It is clean and the product placement looks great. The cash wrap area is never a mess either. It’s really an awesome shopping experience. I greatly appreciate my interaction with the store manager last week. He may not have known but I was really struggling. Thank you.”

641 Loudon Rd, Latham“My two daughters have attended a total of six formal events in the Capital District, and ALL of their dresses have come from Fancy Schmancy! The service at this boutique is exceptional (the sales staff treat you like a star!), the dress selection is astonishing, and the store is impeccable! Fancy Schmancy is the ONLY store I would trust for these special occasions! Thank you, Fancy Schmancy!!”

1 Broadway, Troy“I live in Connecticut but travel to Troy regularly to visit family. Found Truly Rhe 6 years ago while at the Farmers Market. Have been going back ever since. The staff is friendly and the clothing and accessories all have a fresh and fun feel. Totally different than the “same old, same old” stuff that you see at the big shopping malls. I am often asked by friends and strangers where I get my clothes because they are unique and I proudly say “Truly Rhe” in Troy, NY. If you can’t get to Troy in person, watch their Saturday morning shows on FB. Seeing the clothes on their models (models of all sizes) gives you a glimpse of how they will fit you. Then just message or call the store and they will send you these beautiful clothes to your home. Huge Rhe fan!”

“Pure Barre Latham is a wonderful facility with friendly staff! I was very impressed by how clean the studio and store front was. Aisling taught our class. She was very knowledgeable and helpful for a beginner like me. I had a great time and plan to go back soon!”

26 Cortland Dr, Albany“This is a hidden gem in Albany, NY! My husband and I were in need of tailoring services on a tight turnaround and this business owner exceeded our expectations. Her services were affordable, $65 for the two items combined, yet her experience is evident. We felt welcomed and at ease leaving her shop. She even offered a tutorial after hearing I had difficulty removing the salwar top. Thanks so much for helping us look the part for our cousin’s wedding.”
“Love this store. Great people working here, always fantastic sales, rewards program is amazing. Just finished back to school shopping with my high schooler. Cara went above and beyond, as well as the young man in overalls who helped me with sizes. The other night Emma helped us and cashed us out. Thanks for the excellent experiences and we will be back!”

77 3rd St, Troy“I was looking for a warm cardigan sweater for my mom's 100th birthday. To my delight I they had exactly what I wanted, and they had it shipped immediately. My mom was totally delighted, not only at the warmth but the beauty of the sweater itself. I would recommend Counties of Ireland to anyone seeking high quality items at reasonable prices! Fantastic people.”
“Excellent selection massive inventory I have been to both Latham and glenville locations excellent customer service friendly courteous knowledgeable quick efficient stores are clean organized returns are no problem with receipt I love shopping at both locations highly recommend them awesome ?”
“This was my first time at this store. The girls Ashley and Nicole were very helpful. I was fifty cents away from using all my Torrid cash. The girls were able to help me locate something so that I was able to get all of my rewards. Kudos to them.”

131 Colonie Center, Albany“My family and I own a dry cleaner, we have been pressing shirts for over 4 decades and without a doubt llbean button downs are the HIGHEST quality shirt money can buy. We’ve seen it all, dry rotted, rips, missing buttons and not yet one bad llbean shirt. Don’t waste your money anywhere else just grab an llbean and you will not regret it! Great customer service and Lise is amazing! Very helpful!”

120 Hoosick St, Troy“This location has a huge selection, great clearance deals, and it's well organized. The employees were efficient. One of the better Rainbow locations I have been to!”
“Staff was great, very helpful. I would have given it five stars, but the women's selection wasn't very big- there weren't many hats in smaller sizes and even the boot selection for women was very small. Some of the most popular boots right now from leading Western brands like Ariat, Shyanne, Durango, and Justin weren't in stock.”
“They didn't have Michael Kors on the sign, so I thought I'd make a suggestion, by getting another Michael Kors jacket, this time a bomber! What could I do, they had a Michael Kors jacket on the rack... #MAGANordstrom #MAGANordstromRack #MichaelKors”

595 Loudon Rd, Latham“Everyone at Beck Furs is AMAZING. I sent them a fox jacket that was around 30 years old with lining stains and yellowed fur and it is like a new jacket I am so happy with the results. Also their prices are fair and they are so nice to interact with. I am highly recommending them!!”
“I stopped in about a month ago to get chocolates for someone special. I've been back two more times since for three more gifts. This is the PERFECT place to find a unique gift for a friend's birthday, Mother's Day, teacher appreciation, thank you, etc. The saleswoman has taken her time with me each visit to help me select the PERFECT gift.
I bought a pair of earrings from Thailand and the recipient was over-the-moon happy. I have never given a gift with such a hugely positive reaction!! Every single gift has been a 10/10 and they wrap them up so beautifully. The presentation is fabulous!!”
