I joined the YMCA since it is the only gym located in the Troy area. It costs almost as much as Gold's and ABC and it is not nearly as nice. The equipment is old and the facility itself is old and rundown. The place is filled with children (pre-teens) placing on the gym equipment and they aren't even allowed to BE in the fitness center. It costs as much as the other YMCAs in the area and others are MUCH MUCH nicer. You are allowed to use any YMCA in the area, but lets face it, if I wanted to drive to Clifton Park to work out I would have joined Golds.

Valenti's Pub offers not only a great atmosphere and great people, but a menu to die for! From great pizza and the best wings in the Capital District, to burgers and italian dishes like Chicken Parm and Manicotti, Valenti's is the place to be.
Later in the evening the tables get put away and the dance floor is open while the area's best DJ's play whatever you request, or a great band sings and plays the night away.
Always a great time!!!
Pros: great food, great prices, great people

My wife and I have been going to Verdile's regularly for over thirty years. Now that the kids are pretty much grown, we go at least once every couple of weeks. The food rivals that of Boston's and NYC's Little Italy, and the service is superior. The waiters pamper you, and the bus boys never leave a water glass empty.
Price-wise, you can't get better food - and it's the most consistent of any restaurant I've ever been to. As an Italian (and as a guy who cooks for three hours or so every night for the family), I'm pretty picky. I bring all of my clients there for lunch/dinner - and once they go, they're hooked.
There's nothing (Italian) on the menu that isn't top notch.
Some tips for first timers:
For your side macaroni, order the Verghetti. It's their homemade pasta. You won't be sorry.
Get there early, go to the bar where they bring out the best white pie continuously. Don't overload and spoil your dinner, I've seen it happen all too frequently. On Fridays and Saturdays, they also bring out garlic knots.
If you like it, they do calamari better than any restaurant, and probably better than your grandmother's. Never chewy, always mild and delicious. The calamari marinara is by far the best I've ever tasted, and I order it everywhere I go if it's on the menu.
Like the other posts here attest, the carrot cake and salad can't be beaten. I'd add the chocolate decadence to that list too.
A tip for casual customers:
Even though they don't take reservations, if you're planning an outing for 8 or more people (we've had over 20 on occasion), give them a call ahead of time and say this: I know you don't take reservations, but I just wanted to let you know we're coming in at what time with however many people. They'll be ready for you.
Pros: Always great, reasonably priced, great specials
Cons: Tough to park sometimes - it's pretty popular.

The Fudge Fancies are absolutely heavenly! In fact - I don't think I've had anything from their bakery that is not melt-in-your-mouth delicious! They made my wedding cake and were very easy to work with (even though I was a stressed-out, cranky bride-to-be!). Everyone loved the cake and it looked stunning!

My family and I enjoy heading over here on a rainy afternoon. The kids can bowl and have fun. The lanes are clean and the people are very nice. They have the usual bowling chow - drinks, snacks, etc. There is parking in the rear of the building, and it's easy to access from downtown.
