    Oh cool! Well, the thing that brings us to Albany in July is truly geographical middle point between where we both live. She lives in Central NY, I live in Southern... Albany is 2.5 hours away for both of us, and just a convenient place to meet up for a weekend together.

    Both of us like to go have drinks, but I wouldnt say we are major bar people. Mainly I was hoping to find a place where the two of us could go where we feel comfortable. We are very new to this, and it would be nice to just be in an environment with other like-minded women.

    Im taking note of the places you mentioned.... thanks!
